Wow, that one has come down in price. He was originally asking 35k or 33k when we saw it over a month ago.

I love your truck, don't get me wrong! But seriously, is it broken? How do you do ANY trails at all in that thing?
lol (I'm still trading you door handles!)

Dabating if I want to run Tecore has taught me just how far behind I still am. lol Money is the obvious hold-up.... But I don't have several parts I should have before doing serious off-roading!

Rock sliders
CB
CB antena with spring
Spare tire
Spare tire mounting
Winch mount
Winch wiring
Dual post battery
Radflo (or at least 87/88 springs)
Fuel cans
Rear bumper (or at least a stock beat up bumper cover)

I'm sure there is a lot more, but those are the things on my mind today!

Oh~ and maybe a passenger that would help with the gas money! lol

Yeah, you don't need to worry about Radflo's, Sliders or a winch, plenty of folks have them. A CB is however good to have if you want to be informed what James is planning on doing.

We didn't need sliders. And if I was worried about sliders, I could of just gone around the one spot. It's Northern VA, not UTAH, more mud than boulders. You have a greater chance of getting stuck than ripping off your rear bumper.

And on top of that, I did do a bunch in Moab on 30.5 tires without sliders, winch, radflo's etc. Roll the dice dude. :poke:
