Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

 

I win the best prizes

 

From my understanding they find some backwoods local with 85 K5 Blazer who has as many snatch blocks as they do teeth, and send them out your way.

 

No way I would be out on some of those long remote trails y'all have out west there without a spare. You can use your above strategy for south east park wheeling, once you drag your junk back to the parking lot/camp ground, setup a camp chair and crack a beer and wait for AAA to show up, or in my case, my wife with spare parts I left at home LOL!

 

Have a guy wanting to buy the taco for 32k. Wasn’t really looking a sell especially after all that work, but tempted to get a two seater bouncer. I have a two year old and seven month old so it’s going to be forever until they’re old enough to ride with. Do y’all think that’s a good deal or would I regret selling it?

 

Yep. 3 days to go 33 miles

 

Sell that shit, lol

 

Haha I keep going back and forth. I just rode it around and it’s so damn fun and capable. I see one or two decent built bouncers I could replace it with though…just not wanting to get into unknowns with engines and transmissions. I don’t know anything about either and not sure I want to learn.

 

If your truck does what you want it to do, keep it. You know it inside and out, and built it yourself…lots of unknown with a second hand rig.

 

You’ll regret it.

 

It's easy for me to tell someone to sell their shit, lol. Would I sell mine, nah

 

That def worries me. Never know what is on the cusp of exploding with someone else shit. Been eyeballing this pretty hard. Seems priced right at $24k. leaves me room to improve/replace stuff if need be.

 

Fuck anything without AC.

 

Also a valid point

 

I still have cruise control and use it all the time

 

I never used cruise until I got my F150 with adaptive, and I use that shit all the time now in it.

I’ve wheeled once with ac that only kind of worked and I swore never again. Especially in the humid ass southeast.

 

I wheel in luxury. Windows up, no dust and AC on full blasting with 90°+ temp

 

This. But he's inevitably not going to have it when the taco goes tumbling down a hill and there are no more windows left. At least with a juggy one step of the process would be done.

 

Truth. One roll away from no AC/cab/windows/everything worth keeping about the taco right now haha it might get a little smaller though!

 

My thermostat is stuck over on the hot side. It helps the little 22r . I also live in the dry ass west. AC would be nice!
