i'm in the market... getting rid of the jeep for something more practical...

anyways, will i be able to find a good condition 1500 or a silverado for around 7k or so? must be 4x4 and prefer a HD and/or plow package, 8ft bed, no extended cab.... yes, i realize it will probally be high milage, but i only need it to last me about 3 years b4 i have a fulltime jpb and can buy a new one!

i honestly have no clue yet, just pricing up the market.
 
that is not alot of money that you are willing to spend, specially if you want 4x4. I had a 2000 F-150 4x4 and I just sold it like 5 months ago, and got 13,000 for it. So unless you settle on something really old, you are not gonna find what you are looking for.
 
i think i will be able to find one, i've seen a few of them around here (ohio dballer)

its just gonna have like 80k miles, lol which is ok bc it only has to last me a few years

80K is low milage in my book.. I had to Blazers with over 300K on each. 80K is when they are just getting broken in!!(if you buy a Chevy)
 
yea, they seem to be in pretty good cond. too, but thats just me looking at pics.

i think some ppl just buy them and put alot of miles on in a few years, then just wanna get rid of them

I don't know where you live, but Mickey Thompson is the off road tire of choice around in Texas, but we also have some really different terrain. Thornburgs are my personal favorite
 
check out the Dick Cepeks... they are like Mickey Thompsons.. except alot better.

I use Mickeys on my drag car.

Will do, I can always use extra info on tires, afterall, that is what makes performance

Also, I don't know if you know the answer to this, but do you know anything about locking differentials? I was gonna put a set on the front axle, it's said that it's like having positrack, which is ideal. BUT, I want to know when I turn the wheel, will it fuck up my tires or will it make it harder to steer and operate?
If you can't anser then it's ok, but if you know of a website that might help, then any help will be appreciated
Thanks
 
I have a 1995 Chevy Suburban, V-8 350 with 165,xxx miles on it. Runs like a top and wouldn't trade it for the world. Well...if a new Suburban or Avalance was free...haha.

dballer's truck is very very slick...very.

Just gotta get that bumper fixed man...don't you know it is illegal to drive with your tailgate down? :)

are you going to lock the rear as well? if one axle is locked, you will need traction bars to reduce the amount of axlewrap presented by your locker, unless you get a limited slip. assuming that the rear isn't locked, why would you want to just lock the front? I dont have first hand experience with a locked front, but I would assume that it would wear out your tires a little more than usual WHEN you run in 4wd.

positive traction=limited slip differential
locked axle-detroit locker

I have a locker in my nissan(go ahead and laugh), but I still need to install these tractionbars that are just sitting at home. if only I had a couple of hours to spare. :rolleyes:

Hey now, I have a F250 (only because I get the Ford A Plan)

We have the X plan thans to where my fiance works. the X plan took about 7k of the top on the new F250 4x4 Crew Cab Powerstroke we bought. It's a tough truck. I expect to get a couple of hundred thousand miles out of that diesel. The turbo kicks ass.
