Picked up another 4x4

[72 Super]

Ray,
You need to check the Oregon,Colorado, and Wyoming Craiglists. I've seen some pretty clean trucks for sale. I check them every once in a while and will drop you a note if I find a good clean one. I know its a long ways from where you live, but if it is nice enough you can fly out and drive it home. I bought one in California about 7 years ago. The wife and I drove it back--good roadtrip!!

John,
I would like to find a clean West coast truck. I am not sure if I could handle the drive all the way back, but would definitely have the right truck shipped. I will keep an eye on Craiglists.

Thanks for the pics---this winch is a Warn also!

I'm glad i live in southeast kansas, i haven't even started feeding hay to my cows yet. They wouldn't last very long at your place

I'm not ready for snow season either! I bought the yellow one about 2 months ago. It was on ebay and only about 2 hours away from me. It is one of the better ones I've bought. Solid except for rockers---no squeaks or rattles. 10K on motor rebuild, 6K on brakes, new exhaust and clutch!

Also my wife and I drove through northern New Mexico and I was shocked how gorgeous it was. Your travel board is really doing a bad job of showing what NM is all about. I always thought adobes and cacti. If I ever strike it rich I told my wife I want to buy a cabin in the mountains of northern NM. Not sure why that land is no longer Texas, seems as though we lost the best looking part of our state, from when it was a country.

We are trying to keep it a Secret! I actually wish this were part of Texas!
Actually, NE New Mexico, The OK panhandle , and the TX panhandle would make a great state!

Thanks Larry--I almost called you to go with me to get the white one--it was in Buena Vista. I cut up through Westcliff tho!

That one is a secret---it is a 1975 406 with 4500 miles on it. It had been stored inside all the time---I had to give a little premium for it!

Thanks for all the great replies.

Nice score! It is for sure nicer then the K10 I just got. Nice other toys too! And I think your winter wish for not much snow won't come true this year. But I hope I am wrong!
