or you could be an idiot like me, put a bunch o money in your DD, drive it to and from the trails, wheel the sh## out of it, and hope it'll get you home by the time sunday comes around...it makes for an interesting weekend, especially when you have a worried GF ridin shotgun constantly repeating the phrase "remember honey, we have to drive this thing home tommorrow"....

but serioiusly, my vote is for the 2nd truck, it definatly what id do if i could afford it, as im sure you know there is nothin worse than commin off the trail and hearin a funny noise commin from the truck that you have to drive to work on monday morning, plus if you have the beater, chances are you'll really get to push it and test the capability of it since its not your DD, and that fact alone will probly make your trips more fun, even if you cant afford to completely deck your beater out with tons of cool stuff
