Seems like a cheaper solution these days, if you want a truck, is to drag the rotting corpse of something from the 50s out of a salvage yard on a bill of sale, apply for lost title, and spend $30k putting in a modern V6 or V8 with a 6 speed in, adding Dana axles if you want to 4x4 and a newer transfer case. Then a week getting sandblasted, painted, and reupholstered.

Plus you get to drive something old and boss as hell.



Great point and sharp truck. You can also get modern urethane bushings that will improve handling too, at least for a lot of older models

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

I did a similar thing wrangler wise. Found a TJ 10 years old with 30k miles, Did a couple thousand in work, and now I take it places the $40k jeep soccer moms would poop their pants.

A friend told me the car market is bonkers right now and that I could sell my used 2006 Kia Sorento for a good amount. It was a mechanics car, had a total engine replacement at 90k miles, custom grill, etc. I paid 2 grand for it. It's been great but could I sell it right for for more bones?




Also I am obviously not a car dude so someone please tell me what my penis is like with relation to the above Kia

Well, I don’t own a trailer or have any need to tow anything, but I better install a receiver hitch with a permanent removable chrome tow ball that juts out two feet from my rear bumper.

finally got done putting on a new suspension upgrade+lift kit on my full size pickup truck. can't wait to get back to commuting in it. it sure is great owning a multi use vehicle free and clear that i can use for fun, work, and travel that i can save money on by doing much of the work on it myself.

quote:

“Because of their height and long hoods, we found that some trucks had front blind spots 3 metres longer than those in the average sedan and 2 meters longer than in many popular SUVs, which increases the risk of the driver running over someone in front of them that they cannot see,” Keith Barry, Auto Editor with Consumer Reports, told CTV News Toronto.

A pickup's tall front end and higher bumper are also more likely to cause serious injuries upon impact than the bumper of a lower vehicle and trucks are more likely to push a pedestrian down and run them over.

So i was at the dealer this AM getting the jeep inspected/oil change all that

this was on the floor



So, how much do you think that truck goes for? I will say, it's completely loaded, though a little tonka truck for my tastes

Anyways, the sticker MSRP is $88,000, but there was a sticker next to it that said "Market Adjustment, $10,000 total price $98,000"

HEre's the thing, it's not even that well made of a truck, the paint job looked wavy gravy, the tires were the sort that will give terrible traction above 35 mph and need replacing every 3 months. This Jeep dealer is right next door to the Toyota dealer i bring my wife's Sienna to, wherein i usually lust after the $60k loaded Tundra on the floor. The RAM makes the Tundra seem like a great deal, and i've hardly thought that possible

I was thinking 30-35k MAXIMUM and I wouldn't even pay that, let alone be caught dead in that small dick mobile. Jesus, what a piece of poo poo waste of money. It even looks plastic quality.

If it’s anything like the 5 dodge pickups I used to drive as a pest controller the engine will go forever while the body and frame rot around it after ~6 years. Great powertrains but how does a car company with a headquarters in Michigan gently caress up rust proofing that badly?

Same reason why any american company fucks anything up: It costs too much money to do it the correct way.
