you probably broke it pulling out the tree huh?

X1994J

I hope not, it was in park and I used the winch. But it is a Dana 44. I could break one in park.

ahh ok, i was gonna say high pinions don't like stress in reverse, but if you were parked i don't see how you could have broke it. but you do have toyo's so anything is possible :P

you should be good on the snow part of it but the creeks are going to running good I think, they are on the east side of the valley at least, if you plan a weekend is love to join you guys on a trip up it

Hey Cory, want a PBR? lol, what a wierd-o!

With how you like to hammer down... I can see why you would say this lol Good luck getting it all back together

LMAO, I would love it if that where true!

Yeah, HP's are weak in reverse... that's why I have two LP's...wait... damn...

Its true, Toyo's suck at life!

So how horrible would a 1/2 ton be to tow with? just curious... I would only be towing MY jeep on a trailer with trailer brakes and to-from trails. I would like to get a tow rig without getting a loan, may have to settle with either a nicer 1/2 ton, or a high mileage 3/4 ton....

any thoughts? only options are Chevy or Dodge and a 4 door or double cab.

I pulled mine a couple times to moab with my brothers half ton dodge hemi a
And it did awesome. That's one of the reasons I got my truck. I did get the 3/4 ton because the price was right. It rides like a tank though compared to the half tons.

That Meens go nice it will be worth it for a dd

You plan on gas ? Or diesel

Gorillaxj

Haha, How is Vegas? well I can find some low mileage Dodge 1500's for low enough price to not even talk with the wife about $$ over lol. thats the upside, get hte truck faster, get a trailer faster... roll My jeep faster LOL

Right on. I think I'll end up going with a 1/2 ton and throw some bags on it and just go easy with it. what motor did it have? I will end up DD'ing the truck I get and 1/2ton sounds better for day to day... I just don't want to regret not having a 3/4ton. All the dodges I am looking at have the 5.9L V8.

LOL, yeah. and the wife will love me for not getting a loan, which makes a house and more babys happen faster/easier

Well, ideally I would get a Diesel, But Ideally it would be a 2011-2012 dodge like AX10toy's... (love that thing) but with my current cards gas is the only logical option for a DD and towing without breaking the bank on purchase, I have the wife talked into about 10-12K, but could flip cash up to about 6-7K... so I am thinking the 5-6 range would be ideal, As not adding more to my monthly bills is a huge upside lol

Mr Talon

I sold a jeep tonight, and possibly another one this weekend. More money for jeep toys.

Dodge are way good tow rig no doubt but IMO Chevy is the way on ride dodge is like a tank IMO Chevy = caddy :-) and being a DD comfort would be king to me
