maybe ill start a thread there so it gets more attention, maybe we can turn this into an official CC Pow Wow? ill talk to Pete

ive thought about goin the 1st gen cummins route. i love the idea of an all mechanical diesel too. the problem would be that those only come in standard cabs and extended cabs; no crew. Although i know there were some crewcabs made for the gas optioned trucks......maybe a cab swap in order?

thats gonna be one of the hottest times down in Moab. Like....'wheel at night, stay in the shade/go swimming during the day' kinda hot. there is NO shade out on the trails; its like wheeling in a parking lot. no shade, and the sun heats up the rock so much that youve got heat comin back up at you...

won't fit cherokee?? why??

um....one of the warm ones?

same here. i love when someone asks me about my 'cherokee truck', and i get to explain to them that they came like that from the factory.

these would go better in the 'craigslist/ebay/not your stuff' forum thanks for the heads up though :thumbsup:

honestly i can kind of agree with them. the changes made since last years model are a downgrade. headlights too small, lines just seem 'off'. i wouldnt call it worst of show however....

looks great!!

lol :yes:

saw this before. i believe its aftermarket. still looks good. and x2 on a major case of the 'wants'

I'm workin on it. at the very least, high 5s for everyone. I'm workin on something more though :)

ok so its not for me, but its for a friend of mine. he's trying to win a contest, and if he does he gets $20k. if you could, could you click the link and vote for Jake Hulseberg. You don't have to register, and it only takes like 8 seconds. voting ends tonight!! thanks in advance to those who choose to vote :) http://www.ehgarchiv...ercial/vote.htm

wow and i thought i got lucky with my $500 chief that needed a transmission. nice find!

need a login to sign in

id love to make it down there, but i just don't see it happening for me, at least not in the MJ; possibly in the TJ though.

thats a good way to start a monday, thanks jim!

the more i read about 1/2 tons, i realize that it would do the job fine, if there werent any long mountain climbs between me and moab, but there are MAJOR climbs and MAJOR descents, so not only would a 1/2 ton not be up to the pulling, but the stock brakes wouldnt be up to the stopping power i would need, even with a trailer with trailer brakes. so 3/4 ton it is. diesel would certainly be nice for the before mentioned long climbs, but for the other 95+% of its duties, itll be driving around the SLC valley, and there's no need for that much pulling power down here. plus diesel trucks are pulling a premium for some reason around here, and most of them have been lifted and tuned, and have 22" rims with low pro mud terrains, which i just don't understand. so its sounds like a 3/4 ton gasser is what ill end up with. needs room for 4-5 adults comfortably.

tree fiddy

knock off 5k? hah i could make it worth alot less than that ;)

plug in the block warmer; there's a decent chance all your other problems will 'disappear' :teehee:

so its a restored MJ with a mild lift, wheels and tires. $16k?? sheesh.... how many miles on it?

...and i'll prob end up DD'ing a 3/4 ton diesel. cause like Dadinator was saying, whatever money I'd save on fuel for the truck by DD'ing a car, I'd spend on the car. Plus I'd rather spend the same amount on one nice truck, than on two decent vehicles. edit: unless i find the 'right' 1/2 ton gasser. the eco-boosts are nice, but theyre Ford. I need a crew cab, since a family is in the future, and even before that happens, we'll need a vehicle that we can fit more than 2 people comfortably in, (GF drives a TJ)

'D' has been taken; your suggestion will be known as 'E' :rotfl2: this thought has crossed my mind as well. While i trust myself on a motorcycle, i don't trust all the other crazy drivers around here. I've had friends get hit and get really messed up due to someone else not paying attention. I've even had friends die on motorcycles. So as much fun as it would be, i'll prob pass.

I'm staying away from anything that has what i call 'blue oval syndrome' lol do you run stock sized tires? which transmission do you run? if I'm goin with a diesel, i want to go cummins with a 5 or 6spd manual tranny.
