It’s that time again folks, to honor another member with NHTOC’s title as Truck of The Month! For the month of June, this title goes to Tony “Tonysailor” Carlisle, NHTOC member #268, and his very clean 2002 DSG #50!!! Tony has been around for quite a while, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for these trucks since March of 2003. Better late than never, but his dedication to his family and taking care of them first is what it truly means to be a father! He unselfishly dedicates his time to assisting our veterans as well. A true heart of gold, a proud American! My hats off to you sir, Thank you for all you do and Congratulations!
Question # 1: What sparked your interests in the Harley trucks?
Specifically your HD Truck?
I drove a 2000 Hd and was disappointed. I owned a 2000 L, then I saw the 2002 DSG, and that did it for me.
Question # 2: Any interesting stories behind the history of vehicles
you've owned leading up to the HD truck or how you got it?
I owned a 91 5.0 ragtop and totaled it, bought a 2000 L, saw the 2002 DSG HD had to buy it.
Question # 3: Give me a rough list of the mods that have been done to your truck. I know you've got a lot done, so you can just list your favorites if you'd like!
JDM LT w/silver bullet exhaust, LFP e-fan, AFCO dual pass w/dual fans, extra tranny cooler, LFP valve body, Mag-Hytec tranny cover and diff cover, *** pan hard bar kit, *** oil separator, Reichard spacer, w/ double bearing pulleys w/tensioner, Stein stage IV port job, JDM phenolic spacer, exhoned plenum, C&L air pipe, SCT 2400 MAF, Ruslow slotted dippled rotors w/ EBC green pads, Rear hellwigs bar, sound deadening in cab with stero upgrade, Breed custom valve covers w FS 2500 remote oil filter and Blinder M45 front&rear laser jammers.
These are the major ones and are several more minor ones
Question # 4: Tell us a little about yourself. Your other hobbies, your job, your favorite past time, whatever!
Volunteer at Disable American Veterans (DAV) in aiding Veterans submitting disability claims to the VA. Going to the VA hospital and helping the bed bound Iraqi vets with their claims.
Hobbies are drag racing and helping other improve their rides
Going to the range or out to nowhere and shoot my pistols.
I’m retired since 2002
Question # 5: You've been a member on the site for a while now, what is one of the best things you like about the site that keeps you around?
Helping new members… Asking questions and getting the help with out ridicule that occurs at other forums
Question # 6: What is one suggestion to help make the site a better place?
Allow people to ask non SV vendors for price reduction and post on the site that information
Question # 7:
This is where I normally ask about where you decided on your screen name and any specific reason for choosing it?
My name is Tony and I’m retired just combined the two
Question # 8: Almost at the end, what is in the future for your truck?, so what’s the next plan of attack for your trucks future?!
The future for my truck install gauges (mod surf board and dash) for total of 5 gauges, the dual battery with large alternator and finally a functional shaker hood.
Question 9: Last and final question, just an open end question for if you had anything else you wanted to mention that I didn't have a question for...here's the place to go at it! Your web site link, a plug for something, etc. etc. whatever you want to throw in!
I feel that with time, time heals all wounds, and it’s time to let things stay in the past.
What I am getting to that some members/vendors have been banned from the site…. Ok I understand that.
Those individuals always had the good of brotherhood at stake and always ready to help and aid fellow L and HD’s owners.
Maybe it’s time to allow the ban to end.
j/k
