Jan 2 2007, I handed over a bank check for my dream truck that I planned to drive for life.
I paid $36,450 or so and with tax title and other bs the loan was for just at $40k.
I gotta admit that this year has been a little sketchy with the obummer economy but I just could not let her go. Two weeks ago I received the title to my X. Such a good feeling that I pinned it to the wall of my office just to remind me it is now mine.
Bought it with 40k and it now has 70k on it. Pretty much drive the wifes Burb as much as possible and just let it sit in the garage. Sometimes she is so clean, it just cannot leave.
Plan on getting new tires first, then EGR delete, after that to the body shop for all little dings and dents taken out and a new paint job. From there, who knows.
Whenever my 6.0 dies, I will put a Cummings in it. Already got the guy who does it and he says I will not be dis-appointed.
Plan on being the last one on earth with an X, however I know with you guys I have some competition in that endeavor!
Take care,
Eric

11secdsm,
Yes those are the 18'' Mazzi Hulks with 35'' Nitto Terra Graps. It did not fit in the garage to start, too tall. But a good contractor and $1800.00 later, she fits perfect!!

I just wish that I had a garage that did not have so many tools and stuff in it. Your's sure is nice.

Several years ago, a police department bought and paid for my wife's car. And a police department bought and paid for my Excursion after that. And last February, a local deputy sheriff bought my daughter a new 4X4 Eddie Bauer Explorer.
