its cheap, so if ot shits out who cares
I got a 98 just like it only its white and 2wd, so this would be a great backup. And since Ive been putting $750-1000/year in the mine to keep it running, I might just say screw it and drive this the next time something half way big craps out.
AND, Im sure it will add to the level of pissing of noisey neighbors that are so f'n patheitc they cant mind their own business
and I can beat it up and now care, whee!


words of wisdom or inputs....

I didn't know there was something called "good rust". How's that different from regular rust or bad rust?

here what he said
"everything works good rust on bottom of both doors "

I think it should be, "everything works good............Rust on bottom of both doors."

my trucks rusty too, i dont really care, except I hope the trailer hitch doesnt rust off

looking at the pic it looks as if the tires threw up stones that chipped the door, then salt and water took it from there. I dont have that problem since I have fender flares Little sand paper and some spray paiint could fix that. I dont care if it matches lol

In fact, I really should do something about the rust on my truck.....

A friend in the day had one when they were new and it was pretty nice - and unstoppable in the snow. With this one though, I would be cautious of the transmission with 117K.

yah, mine has 125k
dodge trannys on these years did have an overdrive problem with going from 4th to 5th and back and forth alot causing troubles. I only put 6-7k miles a year on it, so I could limp for a few years with it slowly going bad and never know

unstopable in the snow??? maybe 4x4. My 2wd sucks ass int he snow, big time.....had an incident on ice last week lol
PM if you want details


however, my 4x4 04 Ram kicks mega ass in snow its fun powersliding it with a plow, 1000 lbs of salt in the back, and 4wd hooked up when Im working
