    If I won the lottery and could only buy a truck with the money....well let's see....maybe a W9 Black or silver grey..with the big old sofa sleeper....apu.....set up with a decent fridge...a really good drivers chair with good support 13 speed, prefer a cat engine...tinted sleeper windows so I can see out and no one can see in. Now as far as tricking it out...no not too much ....I would like if silver grey...go with black 1/2 fenders over the drivers, hell everything that everyone has chrome I would go with a matte black finish...if it was black I would go for a matte nickle finish.
    Then I'd get a reefer trailer match the paint and finish....not over done with chicken light just a few down the rails. Nothing that would scream look at me...but something that would have people saying yeah that's cool.....understated

    Since the new trucks are pretty unreliable and are pretty much made of plastic anymore...I'd just restore the blackw900 to it's original condition, Have the sleeper stretched to 120" and run it till I retired.

    I might buy a fancy new trailer though!
