I don't understand who puts big rims on a 2wd then shods them in nitto grapplers...lol. you will have some $ in replacing those in a little while.

I've never seen that color scheme on a limited, I thought the 2 tones with gold bottom were the eddie bauer's. But I'm not as familiar with the early years of production.

Thanx guys! I really do love the truck so far.

Haste, im actually thinking that's not the original paintjob. And the tires wont be replaced with nittos most likely. I was actually quite surprised at the gas mileage I got with those huge things on. (Even though I love the way they look)

Photos of my new X...


My usual color preference for vehicles is:
1. Black
2. White
3. Doesn't Matter

That being said, this gold isn't bad looking

I paid $16,000; I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I know V10 vehicles with similar age and miles are a lot less; but in a 200 mile radius, the diesels I saw were about $3K more with similar miles, or around the same $16K price with about 70K-100K more miles. And the body and interior are practically flawless.
