GraveYard Shift BS

This one was a free hand me down from a friend that my boys had their fill of. Wasn’t fast enough for them and wasn’t an “actual Jeep” so new motors speed controllers and batteries and off it goes. All in prob $125 for a kickass birthday gift that’ll get him to play with the boys rather than dresses and dolls with his sister.

 

Well hopefully you get your truck back today! I am looking for a second gen 4x4, manual, extended cab or bigger, decent milage for the year, good condition.

 

Hey! I'm doing my best. We have almost a full facility on quarantine. Only a few housing units in my facility are on quarantine. I'm currently at the hospital sitting on an inmate who isn't COVID positive so that's a plus. I'm sick AF of wearing these damn masks

 

Lol got bored and ordered archive hammer hangers... let Black Friday shopping commence

 

We used to get all that but they nixed it to "save bandwidth" for people teleworking... Still get Reddit, TW, Facebook, and Vudu though..

Getting a sick whip is never a bad gift

Oh yeah, those are getting harder and harder to find, I imagine.
Plus the people who do sell in good condition/low mileage always seem to want what they paid for it back.

 

Yes they do. I found I real nice one I was willing to drive for but it was 2012 and they wanted $35k!

 

That's absurd.
Some people just don't understand.
Doesn't matter how well you took care of it, it's still a used car...
Also, lift/tires don't add to the resale value.

Depending on the mileage/condition, I'd maybe pay half of that for a '12.

 

Same. It's frustrating

 

That is why I ended up buying brand new, any 18 or 19 with less than 75k were higher then new & you didn't get the decent interest rate.
That doesn't help you at all with a 2nd gen though.

 

I paid ~17k for my 2010 with 97k miles on it back in 2015 when it was 5 years old.
Couldn't imagine asking double that for an 8 year old truck.
These trucks don't age like wine..

 

Yeah.... My kid isn't going to have a brand new truck when her mom has a 2014. So I'll keep searching.

My thoughts exactly!

 

Buy yourself a brand new truck and pass the 2014 on...

 

Ummmm.... She's not getting a bigger truck than mom either

 

I just searched CL 1,000 miles from DFW for 2005 to 2015 4X4 Tacoma when I put in manual trans there are zero.

 

Yup. It sucks. I'm looking everywhere

 

Used market is absurd right now. I’ve been struggling to find something reasonable to get wifey below $40k when my lease is up in a couple months. makes it real hard not to just buyout this ‘18 for $26,xxx when I could turn around and trade it for $34ish.

 

There's a few around here and they're all expensive as hell.

 

Welcome, Clint. You can take my place. I only have 4 more shifts and I can not longer be considered a night shift dweller.

Sup Kirk. I thought we got rid of you a while ago

How's it going?
