    Went ahead and grabbed that Leer 180 off CL. Nice guy in Pflugerville sold his Taco and I needed something quick. The 180 is a bit tall for my taste, but it is a purchase of necessity and function. Gonna have to get one of those nifty garage lifts now.

    I think it will be fine. It only has 127k on it and it was well maintained. I'm saving money since I don't have the other car payment/insurance.

    Just barely breaking it in! Mine has 250k on it and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country. We plan on driving it to Nebraska in July.

    Yeah I'm not concerned. I will probably have to change out some of the front at some point soon. Maybe the lower ball joints and/or tie rods.

    Not really. There's one guy local, but he's kinda strange, and crazy.

    I got a set that is smoked lense that I like. They also offer a few other varieties. I'll take a look at the brand and post it.
