    I talked to a few sales people and decided to to look for a salvage title.
    I think I scored a good one, I haven't seen it yet. I should have it on the road soon, I've been ordering parts on ebay.
    It'll probably be a mall-crawler and a daily driver with occasional off-road.
    I found a good looking winch bumper set, and I wonder about the extra 160lbs on the front. What will that do to the handling? I can save 40lbs with a lighter winch (5500) over a 9500.

    I've got money down, I'll move the rest tomorrow and get it shipped from FL. It has a Colorado title.

    Be careful buying such a vehicle sight unseen

    I would at least ask how it ended up in Florida

    I've been lucky with two other savaged titles.
    It's a gamble, but it's coming from a big salvage dealer. So far, I'm lucky to find this one.
    A salvage title doesn't necessarily mean totaled, the airbags look like the biggest damage here.
