Well come Tuesday, a money pit will be sitting in my yard, collecting tree sap and begging for my paychecks. My wife is happy because she can tan her thighs while i drive, but the realization of what is about to happen, well it just hasnt sank in yet LOL. SO i put my truck (05 Dodge 2500 CTD) up on CL a year ago. Put a price tag on it that was unreasonable, and likely unobtainable. I left my thread pen to trades, but only ones that suited me bloody fancy. I turned down several full price cash offers, a corvette, a 03 cobra that i really really really really wanted, and even a cabin on 20 acres (seriously lmao) in the ozarks. Point being, I wanted a Rubicon. Not just any Rubicon, but a unmolested one. I wanted one with a sealed hard top, clean differential, and axles that had only seen the highway. Mileage below 100k. Few weeks back, i got a prompt to renew my CL ad and I ignored it. It had been up for a year, no one had ever even offered a Jeep. Let alone a Rubicon. Well as the ad was coming to a close I got a email from a older fella in SW Arkansas. He was half-hard for my truck and guess what he had to trade... you guessed it... This is my old rig, that my new one will be replacing. Ignore the JSM stickers on it... And the new one... So when you see me digging thru year old threads looking for gear, you'll understand. She'll be ready for 5's in no-time!
