You will find out as soon as you drive it, i can tell you right now that your fuel mileage is gonna suck.

Its cool looking though!

 

think i'll still get atleast 16mpg?

if i do buy i plan on downgrading the tires a bit to a nice A/T tire..

 

if it hasnt been done already....regear that sumbitch..........you'll be set then. damn nice ride there.

 

if its regeared to the proper gear I believe it would be fine

 

Looks like a lot of tire there for a 2.7 to be pushing around. Since there new your not going to be able to check for wear.
Take it to a garage and have them look over it.

 

thanks guys for the feed back exicted to go look at tomorrow!!!

 

but hopefully not too damn bad on gas milage. i drive a pretty good commute to work

 

Be ready to replace those tires. Super Swamper Boggers don't have much road life, they ball out pretty fast.

 

yeah i plan on just getting a nice set of A/Ts

 

Or get some KM2s

 

What is very important is how much you will be driving on pavement. (90% ?) Those tires are for mud, bad for snow, terrible for hi-way. Buy a second set of tires for hi-way use if you buy this truck. Not much mud here in Colorado, only old mining roads at 12,000 ft. Not much into flat lander 4 wheeling. Been there, done that. BORING!!!! Great looking TOY. Lifted, etc. Oversize, large mudders will definitely affect power/torque in a bad way with the 2.7. Cool looking is usually not a good thing. Looks are one thing. Usefulness is something else.
