Default dream rigs

if money was no object what would you build or have built?

i have too many to list but one that i have never seen anything really resembling it is a scaler f150.
i know that there are f150 scalers but none quite like this.
it would run an all rc4wd drive train (killer transfer case, bruisers F/R, 3 of the 7.something to 9.something punisher shafts with custom adapter to link 2 of them in to a super shaft), either 1.55 or 1.9 black steel rims, what ever tire looks best after assembly, a hand made frame, hand formed 26 gauge body, a full interior and a full light set. this beast would be powered with a 1/8 scale BL system on 4s.

i forgot to mention this monster is a true to detail 1/8 scale trail truck.
the length bumper to bumper is around 30" and would weigh in at about 40 LBS.

Solid gold diamond encrusted stock TLT converted to nitro, that runs on liquid hopes and dreams and emits Natty Ice.

Mine would have lots of "alloy", mad torque twist, and climb windshields like a mountain goat.

I just got the truck I wanted (Tundra High lift) but one car I will probably never own that I would like would be an original Sand Scorcher. The re-release is out, might have to settle for that soon.

1/4 scale version of shannon campbells salmon colored flat fender that was in ttc in the '90's, that thing was freaking cool, first time I saw I rig running quarter epiliptic leafs, and it did some pretty awesome things for a homebuilt rig. And to the poster about clampy, nice 4WOR mag reference.

I'd just build a HUGE place to crawl that isn't more than an hour to drive to... Something along the lines of Oakes Quarry, FOTO, or LRC....

...Something that works for a change...
