Wow. So that jeep got totaled a couple days before I left for basic. I've been in basic/tech school. About to graduate the week after next. Went home for Christmas. Bought another jeep. Spent money this time. 10,800 out the door for an 2002, mostly stock, just different wheels and tires. Aftermarket stereo. Full doors. Tint. Tinted soft top. Dark green. 54,000. Beige interior. Went wheeling the second day I had it and put a tree limb through the tire. So there went $200. Not a huge deal. Gotta pay to play.
So now I've got something to drive. So I'll rebuild the truck. Then when that's done I'll do my upgrades I want on the jeep.
Can't decide if I want to put a straight axle in the truck or not. There's multiple Dana 44's on Craigslist for a hundred bucks or so. Need to do a lot of studying to fit it properly. But the truck will be rebuilt and badder than ever. If it turns out nice enough I'll keep it. If not ill put it up on Craigslist and wait for my super duty.
I originally tried to buy a super duty over Christmas but the dealer ran me around in circles the entire time I was home. Finally found the jeep and bought it the same day. Any of y'all in Florida. Gary Smith Ford is full of salesman that don't play well with others. And are extremely pressuring. Go to Beach City Motors in fort Walton Beach. Great people to work with! GREAT people. Glad my money went to someone who appreciates business.
