BLHTAZ Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yea...a leveling kit and some more aggressive tires are on the short list. I may have scored a job at the dealership where we bought it too. We'll see how that works out. It's a small, independently owned place and I got to spend some time with the owner today, so we had a good chat about things and he is interested in me. They are incredibly busy...every salesman there was working with someone and there were people waiting to get their turn. We got it here... http://www.gibsontruckworld.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Well...we had to put it in just my wifes name because of me being an unemployed college student, but it was a good deal and we didn't have to put any money out of our pocket. The payment is only slightly higher than our '02 that we traded, so no real pain to it for now. :thumbsup: JT...we are still planning to make the trip as of right now. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requested your presents or presence? In your case I'd suspect lil cuz wants your gifts more than to see your face. :yes: And don't worry about the Taz-man. He's got other gigs goin' on IB sure. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Dude, I think they sold you a 2WD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Dude, I think they sold you a 2WD! Yes...unfortunately, I settled for the 2WD, but at $17,500, I could not pass on the deal. Once I finish school, I will look in to getting more of what I want. We did looked at a 4x4 to start with, but it turned out to have a bad t-case. They were willing to fix it, but it would not have been ready for this weekend as needed. It was really cool...lift kit, Nitto Terra Grapplers, Banks Six-Gun system, and 4" Monster Exhaust...BUT...not meant to be I guess...and it was an '03. JT...I find two things hilarious in your post. 1. The whole thing is great!! 2. You misspelled "spell" when you wrote "speel checker" :rotf: Thanks for all the great words from everyone. We are fortunate to have worked outselves in to a good financial position with no bills other than a small mortgage and the truck, so it's not hard to do on just my wifes pay, along with what I can generate doing some small stuff here & there while in school. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 well it looks nice. but being 2wd I would never have accepted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mjpioneer Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm looking at a very similar truck. We got a 03 dodge 2500, quad cab, long bed, 4wd, 180k miles and diesel. I can get it for $10k. Seeing you paid $17k for that I might actually buy it. Good luck with your new truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 well it looks nice. but being 2wd I would never have accepted it. Guaranteed that if I lived where you do, I would not have bought a 2WD either ;) I have only seen a "need" for 4WD one time--that I can think of--in the last 7-8 years, so I figured I'll just wait a little longer to get what I "want".
