I was worried how that would go over. Good to see you have a sense of humor...

I know how hard it is to convey sarcasm over the internet!

Go with a Oshkosh MTVR. All wheel drive and tough enough for the military. That way you don't have to retrofit the driveline and suspension for 6X6 driving.

[quote=D.Wiggs;1731682]I don't tow goose or 5vers so that's no problem. The bed would either be for "stuff" or one of the new choppers we are having built by OCC.

I want to know about this OCC Bike

Build the truck it would be awsome to see one custom built instead of store bought. But definanately save your $$$$$ on the OCC (Orange County Crappers) chopper they are severely over priced junk!!!!!!!!!! There are plenty of other custom bike builders our there to choose from that do much better work with the same parts for about 1/2 the price.

I think there "mass-produced" stuff is junk but their custom stuff is very nice I must say; and they have great customer service. I have been mulling around a project with Junior for many years and am getting ready to pull the trigger. I agree there are many other builders out there, but I think when at their best, OCC is as good as any of them.

I live in orange county and they have a very bad reputation around here. I personally know a few guys that have been screwed by them. I do alot of riding in and around orange county and the only time I see there bikes on the road is when they are filming and at least three times they were broken down with the cameras rolling. They have gotten alot better which is to be expected but there bikes are mostly geared towards corporations that don't ride them. At least they started making there own parts instead of using taiwan carp!!!! Good luck in what ever you decide.

Veyr interesting! I was unaware of their bad local reputation. Is it that the quality control was not "up to snuff" or what? I wonder how the celebrity clients feel about having something like that. You wouldn't think that they would put up with that at all.

Didnt you learn yer lesson when you let Will and his clowns work on the Lambo. Just cuz they have a TV show doesnt mean they are good at what they do. There are so many killer builders out there and your goin to end up with a cheesball OCC bike. Oh well atleast you will be able to get Tshirts and hats in 100 different styles to go with it.

No offense to you but sometimes I think you spend yer cash just to spend it. I guess you need the storage space eh. I wish I had those problems.
