Took the truck out for a spin in the snow on my way out to sell the RTT. I already stripped some parts off the truck like the bumper, and sliders.
Once the RTT sold, the truck followed suite less than a month later.
I was tired of running into constant problems. Fix one thing like a CV seal and than something else will need work (coolant leak, sway bars issues, water pump scare, inner tie rods on their way out). The paint was also chipping off the rockers, I noticed it coming off bad when I last washed the truck. Other parts already needed some attention to stop rust from spreading, So rather than spend time/money on paint or liner on top of future maintenance issues (truck was at 80k, so breaks, dexcool flush, ujoints, platform trouble areas etc), I cut my losses and sold the truck. I mostly used the truck as daily (short commute/city) and when something didn't need my attention; I would usually avoid harder trail runs as I simply don't trust this truck to get me home. My red truck needed lots of maintenance but I tossed that up to being old, large tires and bad year (06 used smaller tie rods, oddball steering rack etc). So I bought a newer model but that didn't work out either in the long run. I'm just glad it sold quickly. I picked up a car in the meantime while I wait and see if anything interesting will hit the market in a couple years (Jeep truck, Colorado/Canyon mid cycle refresh or maybe even a Bronco that isn't soft).
The bright side of this tuck; I played around with lots of various options for camping setups. I narrowed down a future setup to either something like GFC or Habitat style camper (which can be truck or SUV) or a truck with a James Baroud RTT (which is shorter) mounted low in the box. My deciding factor in the end will be cost (whatever deal I can stumble across at the time) or availability (I hate waiting).
