Re: The Colorado BS thread

And how much did you spend on a truck when you could have bought a decent xj and spent less and still be able to lift it with new tires and be able to drive to the trail? I don't see why you got a truck when tou won't have a trailer able jeep let alone a trailer. And your saying I shouldn't spend my money that I work my ass of for to have fun. You should resell that truck and get a car dude your gonna be much happier later down the road.

I spent $1700 on a good, running, reliable, turbo diesel truck. It has a comfortable cab and 4x4, and with some fresh meats it'll plow through the snow which a small car can't do. I have a full size truck bed to throw axles and other large parts in that were difficult to manage with an XJ, and since I have a DD now I have the ability to build up a trail XJ as I have the time and money for it, as opposed to throwing my DD on the rocks, worrying about breaking it and having no transportation, having to rush through mods all in one go so it would still be drivable the next day. And why the hell would I need to get a trailer now? I have nowhere to put it other than the street and nothing to put on it, so it'd just sit out there on the street till I have a jeep to tow, which even if I had one now would have to wait until after winter since the trails are almost closed :lecture:

Sorry but I have to defend Mac on his truck purchase. He will get a lot more use out of a truck as his primary then he will out of a little car or Jeep. Also, that truck should still net him similar mileage as a Cherokee.

Trailers are cheap, you can snag one for around 1000$.

See, I'm not crazy :cheers:

I'm not taking a side but I do wonder. 6.9L Diesel? are those worth it? Pretty slick truck though i like the color.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

The 6.9 turbo diesel isn't a bad motor, it's not a 7.3 powerstroke but I'd take it over the the new powerstroke engines after the 7.3

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Be very carefull buying used Nat.Gas heaters. Gas leaks and cracked heat exchangers are common on these old units. Ask me how I know.

 

[Hypoid]

Re: The Colorado BS thread

You would know Frank, and I think his asking price is high.

I'm no expert, I'm graced with one of these in the 35K/85K range: http://denver.craigslist.org/tls/1423417034.html

Still, I have to strip down to a sweater when I run it. Eight to ten hours (?) on a 20 lb bottle seems kinda expensive.

Yeah, I think its worth my time.
LOL... "just a money pit"... you have an XJ too, right?

 

[collkid]

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Well will it be reliable enough?

Think my XJ is pretty set for quite a while now...

XJ's are really only Money Pits because we want to modify them

Re: The Colorado BS thread

As far as I know, diesels are more reliable than gasoline engines

 

[DutchVDub]

Re: The Colorado BS thread

For the most part diesel engines are more reliable and last a lot longer. This is a side effect of them being built a lot stronger to withstand the increased stress of their higher combustion pressures.

AAAHH I'M STRESSING OUT!

Calm down you. You will have plenty of time to open up that bottle of champagne before the enemy arrives. Now sit tight and take a swallow, it's time to get drunk and die in a blaze of glory.
