    I think I'll go to college just to have my truck be a mall crawler.

    Get my college money and put 22s with Nitto Mud Grapplers. :rofl:

    Haha jk!

    Honestly I'd probably pay around $6,000-$7,000. With all of the accessories on it, it'd be already set up perfect for a trail rig for me :)

    For me it does. It consumes my life too much.

    Yeah, pretty similar to mine... Bought it for 7 and has a good 10 in parts right now. (not including labor and the countless hours working on it)

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Bah... I want a fresh start anyway. shoulda freaking SAC'd from the beginning.... but of course I had no idea how to do so!! lol It's been a good learning process. :) Sure, I'll lose a lot of money selling it, but I think all the stuff I've learned will make it worth it in the future.

    I now know how to do a good amount of work on vehicles that I'd otherwise have to fork over hundreds or thousands of dollars to have a mechanic do it. I barely knew how to change a spare tire when I first got this truck.... let alone how to change the spark plugs or oil, or how to r&r a transmission, or how to perform major differential work in which success and failure is measured in thousandths of inches.

    I'll miss this truck for sure, it's been a good journey, but it's simply an expensive toy--an object.






















































    Dangit, I'm talking myself out of selling it. :faceplam:

    We'll see... It looks like it's going to sell though.

    Got one offer to trade for an 03 Infiniti g35 in good condition and 93k miles.. I said no trades

    And just got an e-mail today from a local guy interested in paying cash.. So I'm talking with him back and forth. we'll see what happens
