Finally got the truck in some dirt a couple weeks ago. Went to Bridgeport OHV Park near Decatur TX for a day trip. Had the family with me and we were alone most of the time, so I stuck to easy trails. Still gave me a chance to break the truck in a bit. Was driving most of the time, so didn't get...

Going to look at the Monty later today, is there any specific things ya'll would recommend to look for other than typical used car things?

Howdy Portal! Diving right in, I have had a 90 Miata for trade on Craigslist for a while now. Tonight I had a guy offer me a trade for an 84 2 door Monty. It's in ok shape with some mechanical repairs needing done. http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/5111789606.html Basically other than...
