Name My Pajero!

[DR1665]

I can't figure out what to call my truck. Some might think it's stupid to name a truck, but when I get behind the wheel, I'm reminded of the wild west, when our primary mode of transportation had four legs and a name. I feel like my truck and I can go anywhere. It is my expedition partner. Lewis to my Clark (or something like that).

I would like to get YOUR help naming this thing. I'm not posing this question anywhere else (and believe me, I'm on a LOT of different boards these days.) I am trusting in the good taste of my predominately Canadian Mitsubishi 4WD brothers and sisters to pick a name for my truck.

About the truck:
+ 1989 Dodge Raider (which we all know is really a Pajero) 2.6/5-speed
+ it's slow, it's rough, it creaks and rattles and roars (mostly from mud tires on pavement)
+ it's very hot - black, no AC, I live in Phoenix where it's pretty much 38*C or more every day for six months out of the year

Here's a couple pictures:





Please help me pick a name for my truck!

Ummm... You could call her "Oakland"....

Lost Ark is pretty cool name, actually I really like it, a lot.
Monty is the name of Mararmeisto's wagon, it's a big world out there and I'm sure there's room for two Montys ~ I just relate it to Mararmeisto, I guess....

What does your wagon think?

Why "Oakley?"

I'm really liking "Dusty," and Lost Ark rings particularly true...

Trigger, Roy Rogers horse ... strong, dependable and in Roy Rogers case smart

Why "Oakley?"

Not "Oakley" but "Oakland", as in "Oakland Raider". It was a fleeting thought. It's gone now.

The Crock-Pot? (After all, you said it was a slow cooker...)

[DR1665]

@Falco - Ah, Oakland. Don't know how I missed that. I reed gud. I don't know how common Raider fans are up in your neck of the woods, but as close as I am to SoCal, I see them all the time. Not the sort with which I would like to - in any way whatsoever - associate.

Trigger and Crock Pot are both great ideas, too!

Yes! I'm gonna start saying that to my wife every time she gets in the truck. LOL

Not what I originally voted for but I think it's a cool name... "Short Round"... I think it's a good name, unique and catchy. Now all you have to do is break out the champagne. Congratulations!
