I highly doubt this big honking trailer sees XRRA events. I have to drive to far for those, no way will I put that kinda fuel down, the featherlite with racer box is good enough for those. This is for weekend wheeling, maybe I'd bring it to Gray Rock, maybe.
The big reason though was KOH. Dont worry I am right in this trailer, even if I sell it right after KOH I'll get my money out of it, and we all have a place to sleep, and eat in the desert.
Truck, yeah I got a good deal.
I was literally waiting on a call from the guy on the '06 Blueish Chevy, when this one fell in my lap. I looked at the '06 on Thursday, and was like, this is it, we are done, I need to go swap moneys around to have cash, and wanted to see it not wet from rain and told the seller that. Went on Saturday to buy, and found the underside completely coated in diesel fuel. ANOTHER REASON NOT TO BUY IN THE RAIN OR A WET CAR. Seller took the truck to a dealer on Saturday and was waiting on the verdict on Monday. Burst fuel return line due to stuck closed valve on side of filter. The price was still right so I was cool if that was all it was, and then the '07 fell in my lap.
So I found out the deal on all of these high mileage loaded out diesels around Houston. There were 4 at the alignment shop and I aksed the guy about them. They are oilfield management/exec trucks. To be wrote off they have to have a certain GVWR, and these guys are running from Houston to the Permian basin or to gulf shore fields daily checking sites, crews, production etc. They arent crew trucks as they are full optioned out. The one I bought is an SLT LOADED, took miles divided by hours on this one at it was almost 46 miles for every hour on the engine, that is putting it down.
