    That place is great. Local and free... well free most of the time... cost me $250 that day. Rip a sidewall apart. grrrr

    Yea man, she holds up well on the trail. Been wheeling with it a few times no problem.

    Just picked up my buddies tube bender. [​IMG] Making some bedside bars that will extend off my rear bumper. Need to deflect those pesky trees in the tight stuff.

    I saw that. That should be pretty sweet man. I really dig those first gens. perfect trail rig for sure. How much are they going for?

    Thank you. If you're talking about the winch line, its been great. No problems at all. Its been used a bunch now.

    The 1st gen is around $2k but I'm a little worried since its so old. Also been looking at some 2nd gens for $4k ish.

    I'm having a really hard time justifying a second vehicle though. I know I should really try to start saving for a house.

    Any words of wisdom?

    I really dig that first gen you are looking at. Super clean. I'd go for something like that if money wasn't a thing. Being that you are saving for a house, I'd just wheel the truck you already have if toyo don't take it back. you already have all the parts and really don't have to buy anything else... Unless you need to fix the transfer case to get it in 4. Other than that, no more money required.

    As you probobly know, you need to put down 20% to buy a house these days without having to pay PMI. So, I would need every dime saved to buy a house now. Thats me though.

    Yea I've been thinking I could continue to wheel the big nig but you know how the limos are. I was thinking if I sell the armor and locker I should have a good amount of money for a beater truck.

    I also have a hard time saving for a house when I still owe $16k on the Tacoma. I feel like I should put the effort into eliminating that debt before I create more debt.

    Yea, the limo limits. Lol. Still a good rig to have in the woods.

    You know that money you use to buy the new truck won't be the end of it. Especially with an older truck.

    Yea, the most logical thing to do would be to eliminate all debt..... Which equals eliminating some of the fun. got rid of my Harley, jet ski, srt-4, etc when it was time for the house. Now I just have the essentials... Truck an mt. Bike. :D

    And you still have those quads. That's good stuff for the family adventure.

    We should try and get a ride in somehow. Maybe recon at RC. :D do you have a road bike? The roads up there would be a good ride it seems too.

    :wink:

    You do. The place has so much to offer for free... If you don't break something.
