Understood. Sometimes a friend needs to step in before they do something stupid. Either way, hopefully he gets it paid off and enjoys it. Get some pics of the Truck with your xj

 

Jezz i would've stepped in but he was already signing the finance papers when he told me. Hell i only found out because he posted pictures of his old trucks on facebook.

lol and plan on it! ****ing thing's huge, I'm 5'10 and i have to jump into it. I plan on taking him wheeling since he's got the cocky full size truck attitude right now saying he can outwheel my Jeep, i was thinking Left hand just to scare him

 

He thinks he can hang with a jeep, especially an xj? Oh man its on now. Wish I was there to see the look on his face when he gets stuck.

 

lol he won't even let me drive it because he's afraid i'll break something, i doubt he would even let the front wheels touch the trail.

 

Lol. either way still want to wheel there

 

Some people don't know how to buy cars. But as long as he's happy, who's to say he's wrong?

 

lol he's Happy. I'm just giving him **** about it saying he has nothing to justify owning such a large truck. MAYBE to haul in the trophy Elk he's hoping to get this year, but that's about it.

 

Compensator maybe?

 

Possible, We may be best friends but I've never seen him naked lol.

Wait... That's why he can't keep a girlfriend for more than 2 weeks! It all makes sence now!! lol i would be dead if i said that to his face.

Anyways, US postal service at it's best. Just got a package addressed to another neighborhood, gotta take it to the right full owner tomorrow.

 

haha. I have been looking for a second gen cummins (dodge) before my jeep but Co wants way to much for one. If i could run a 4bt in mine I would but not for that price!

 

I had a neighbor who traded his ranger for a cummins 2500. He didn't have any use for it either. He freaked when I drove it onto a dirt driveway to turn around. He drove it over his little solar yard lights beside his driveway several times. The only time he "used" it was one weekend when he rented a travel trailer. It was as tall as your friend's, his wife was barely 5' tall. He had it probably 2 or 3 months before he traded it in on an F150. I can hardly imagine how much money he lost on that deal.

 

30k for Dodge 2500 with cummins is about right for one of those since they all go for around 25-29 used with about 90k on them , so after financing at arounf 4-5% it's going to be around $600 a month for 5yrs ...I paid 24k for my 09 2500 6.7 with 85k on it and after tax it is about $500 for 5 years , so I don't think he "overpaid" since that's what they go for. My Truck is stock I've got a bunch of stuff sitting to pretty it up that i never put on , which i probably will after I put on some 33's when I replace the stock 31's , But not going to lift it and put big OL' tires on since that atleas needs a regear to get the towing performance back in range , but ride quality is suck lifted ...But just like C.M.B. was saying about his friend and never using it ...lol...I've had it over a year and never pulled anything other than an ...EMPTY...LOL...tandem trailer , which weighed 2,000lbs and I had no issue hitting 110mph very quickly going up I-70 through Golden Wheatridge , But I can't say I've used this truck one bit for what it's meant for , But it sure will burn down a set of tires...lol

 

So here's a new one. To me at least. When compressed, My front driveshaft has been coming in contact with my upper control arm and chewing away the thin stock arm. I at about 5-6" lift with stock arms and drop brackets. I plan on building a 3-link eventually and running my upper on the passenger side.

 

I've towed a small camper trailer across the country, pulled a utility trailer full of shop tools, carried masonry landscape block, counter tops, washer and dryer, 500# 5.3L SBC, 750# International 304, transmissions, table saw, drill press, jointer, sheets of plywood, OSB, drywall, 16' lumber, camping gear and all sorts of other stuff...

In my Honda Element.

And I've even run Daken Rd, Argentine Pass, and Pickle Gulch.

 

Found a thread where a guy had this problem and three people said that his axle is not contered under the jeep so I will check that tomorrow and adjust my track bar if necessary
