I'm anxious to see how this works out for you.
I am finally going to be buying my own trailer this spring. I am just sticking to a tent and the F two fiddy for now.
I love my diesel truck. Everybody says they are crazy expensive to fix (maybe true with newer ones) But I have only had to replace the alternator, vaccuum pump, and rear brakes.

$245 in fuel.
That includes the time in Moab and driving two vehicles down.

Ok, but no bitching about your 5.4 f250 sucking nuts at towing two jeeps allowed!
If you read it, I really don't plan on towing two jeeps with it, I'll wait to get a diesel for that. Becs jeep won't be done for at least another year, so this truck will buy me time, hopefully... I have no money lost if this deal works out, so why not trade a S10 for a F250...

I'm just saying, why buy a truck that will probably need work, drive it then get rid if it for another truck that will probably need work....why do it twice.

Think I got an interview with Mopar tomorrow. I got my fingers crossed that it all works out with me still being another semester away from graduating.

buying it means spending money, he is saying he is not coming out of any money so therefor its almost like trading it.

Haha I'll make them bring the XJ back!
I spotted a yellow JK pickup on campus. I walked up to them and asked them if they wanted to go wheel Rocks & Valleys. Talked for a while, gave them a resume, and now I'm waiting for a phone call back with a time for tomorrow after I submitted all the required online crapola. The position is a 10 week internship with Mopar Engineering with a possibility of going full time after that is completed.
Really hope it works out. This is just what I wanted.

That sounds like a kick a$$ job. Yes bring the cherokee back to what it should be. Not that new body style they think is cool.

Plus, I like to tinker, I like to work on things. I could have bought a 72 CJ5 completely restored and built for the trails for $2500. Instead I buy a rusted old heap and am doing it the hard way cause that's the enjoyment of it. Now that Bec is starting to earn some money via her 3 part-time jobs, I'll be able to relax a little bit and get back to tinkering...

That is around what WF12 cost me in fuel, 2k miles at 8-9mpg. The 318/46re were not amused by 4000lbs of jeep + ~800lbs of crap and tow dolly.
