Here's my junk. 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Off-road Edition. 226kmiles so far. Added Bilstein 5100s and 285 Cooper AT3's. Hidden winch mount, camper, and contractor rack soon.

What parts did you end up going with? My 98 5.2 is crapped out but I refuse to part with it for $250 the salvage guys want to give me. Just biding my time, gimme some inspiration.

I might go check it out. Was there any issues with it when you sold it?

Look what I found on Craigslist http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/4977468265.html

This week has been hectic helping my parents move and we haven't found the time to go out there, next week for sure. I'll post up pics asap. If I could find a second gen in my price range I would rather have that but so far none with decent mileage have come up. The one I'm looking at is pretty...

Thanks guys, I'll play with it more when I buy it this week. I did push the lever down and everything but it was giving me some problems going in, I probably didn't engage it all the way like you said. And Nasko, I'm driving a 5.2 AWD ZJ right now so I'm used to bad gas mileage. I'm looking...

It might be my driving since most manuals I've driven were cars never an suv with 4x4.

No advice?

So I went to test drive an 03 Xterra XE v6 standard 4x4 with the power package and auto hubs. It drove great, the throttle is a little touchy. Is this normal with the manual? This leads to my second question... I turned into an open parking lot to test the 4wd. I stopped the car fully, placed...

Nissan's are much easier to find. I've found two that I mention in my other more general thread.

Stioc, I just saw a 2001 Pathfinder for sale online and found myself looking through your thread. 117k miles they are asking $5500 or a 2002 Xterra SC with a lil over 100k miles for $5200. Both are great options, I like the Pathy for the more comfortable suspension can handle 31"s and a better...

He replaced the fronts with crappy cloth ones because of an electrical short in the power seat wires. He was very proud of his handy work talking about how he soldered the wires and not crimped them blah blah blah POS

I've been considering anything and everything. I'm checking out one of my favs a 1996 2 door Tahoe I can already see some body issues, Tahoe on one side but not the other, missing running board on same side, paint blemishes. All ammo for me to work on the price

Ya I called him back to offer him ~$3750 for it and was trying to justify my price and he cut me off and says they just "sold it." 5 days later it is still on their site. I have a few more cars to look at today 1996 2 door tahoe 4x4 on the floor drop down tailgate (isn't that a country song?)...

Great tip on having the cash in the envelope, I'm sure that will help me at least get a dialogue going. I drove out to see that 4runner and it was absolute crap, the reason he hasn't sold it yet. Front frame damage and bad paint job covering up the radiator support. He replaced the front seats...
