Don't think we've discussed this much here, thought it might be interesting... wonder if anybody has something to rival GregT's hot rod Chevy?!
I don't have anything cool like that. Never had a shop/tools to do builds myself but have always liked/dreamed about building something up.
Anyway, here's mine, now show me yours!
'14 4Runner Trail Premium
One of my favorites of all time, I love this thing as much as I did my Jeep Wranglers! This one surprised me. I thought it would be a solid replacement for our '04 Grand Cherokee, I didn't expect to like it this much more than the GC. Open all windows, sunroof, tailgate glass, and it's as close to open air as you'll get in an SUV this size.

'15 Sierra 1500 SLE 4x4
Not sure on this one... it's a nice truck, but not really much fun to drive. It's not enough "truck", if that makes sense. They've sophistimacated it too much. I don't care for the stock tuning of the transmission and how it shifts. Like most all new cars, it's set too conservative and thus is too slow to respond to input from the throttle. I suppose an aftermarket tune would help with that. Found myself recently wondering if I should have gone with a 4x4 Tacoma (no typo - not Tundra) as much as I like the 4Runner. I had considered the Taco when looking at the Sierra, but held off due to the 2016 update.

Keep daydreaming/second guessing myself about this...
