33% more hualing capacity :p
1997 GMC Safari extended with both back seats out. Huge amount of room with access from back and side. More space than some pick-ups with toppers. My junk stays dry and I can lock it all up.
1995 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L V-6 5 speed 8 foot bed, nasty lil gas saver with the v6 and full size bed makes it an awesome lil scrapping machine
97 dodge ram LWB... 2 trailers and dolly.. or and a great wife that understands...lol
I love this thread, but it makes me jealous.
I want to buy a new car next year and (providing I start the new job I'm after) I have been thinking about getting a Range Rover. They are built near me and I always liked the idea of buying from a company that employs locally . . . BUT . . . I read this thread a few days ago and it goy me thinking more about Mitsubishi Warriors and other similar vehicles. Space in the back to scrap and do other manly stuff, but also I would have plenty of seats to still use it as a family car.
If your going to get a new vehicle, and its not a pickup I would suggest getting a trailer also. I have a pickup and I only use it to haul certain items, the rest goes into my trailer. Less stress on the vehicle.Quote:

Picked up a '88 Chevy 2500 4x4 350 auto. Brother tells me it's a heavy half. I don't know enough about these to know. It says 2500 on the door, but he seems to think that because it's a 6 lug, it's only a heavy half.
Hopefully it will serve me well.
Paid $900. Has a decent rack, newer tires, and brand new tool box on it.

I've always thought 6-lugs showed it was a 4WD. I had a Heavy Half and it was badged 1500.
Heavy halfs are badged 1500's with the 2500 suspension
Yeah true 3/4 tonnes are 8 lug like the 3500. At least thats what I know about them.

I might toss up a few more pics later.

83 Silverado up until a couple weeks ago when it gave up the ghost :-( Looking to get a 93 Ford E 350. I will have to change the way I do things with the switch to a van but the deal is to good to pass up.
I use my toy hauling 01 f350 diesel. Cost a little more in fuel I guess but It dont get weighed down as easy and I dont have any problems getting up to speed.
88 ford F-150 half ton with extra leaf springs heaviest load was a 1000 lbs tires are not that good plus the highways around here are not that great
Here's the other side. Typical GM paint peel.

I need to find a truck like that for my daughter. Dang $900 is a great deal for that truck. Could sell it easly for 2 grand here in denver. Of course the next time you seen it all you would hear is the thumping of a tuba.......
Really? It has 161k on the clock, but it runs good and doesn't seem loose anywhere.
Picked up a 92' GMC K2500. 3/4 ton, Ext. Cab, long bed, 4x4, 350ci 5-speed standard shift with around 120,000mi for $2,200 yesterday in Kalamazoo, MI. The Truck is sitting on Mickey Thompson 285/75/16 tires and Mickey Thompson Rims. There is new exhaust from manifolds all the way back. Plus a whole bunch of other new parts. There is a little body work that needs done, and a few misc. things need replaced before its in tip top shape.

1988 isuzu trooper

A wheelbarrow, no joke, we use it more than the truck which is a 96 Dodge with the first generation Cummings with almost 700 k on the clock.

Nice truck! Only thing I'd be worried about is the price you'll pay when ya need new tires.
I ran them on my 4x4 they are not to bad at $230 to $240. They last a good amount of time, work good in rain, snow and bad $## in the mud.
I parked that chevy 4x4...I should put the sucker back on the road or sell it...not sure what I want to do but I am switched company trucks from gas to diesel.

I'm still using my Taurus and last week I brought home 18 computer towers in that car. Kinda reminded Snodly of a clown car, I just kept pulling them towers out of there. hahaha. Sold my Chevy truck and made $100. profit from it.Quote:
