I spotted the "Holy Grail" on the local Craigslist here so I'm guessing an " upgrade " has happened! :Wow1: Wish that I had reason to own a dually because that 98 is awesome.
You'll probably spot it around Abby too as the guy that bought it is a welder living out there. It was kind of a whirlwind thing, but we are going through some changes, and figured it was best to do some shuffling before they were done. I have on and off knee and foot issues with my left leg, and my wife doesn't enjoy driving a stick. Couple that with a lot more work in the city and a desire to trade in the Rubicon on something a lot more "solid" and you have the fixings for the pic above.
The salt n' peppa of it is the '98 has gone to what I hope is a good life in the country, and the Rubicon is being traded in on a '14 3500 srw. I didn't love the dually aspect of things, and only needed it with the camper on. The '14 has 1300 lbs more payload than the '98, and I only have to buy 4 tires at a time. It is a fairly basic truck (hoping to avoid as many electrical issues as possible), but even being an ST (Tradesman) it has more features and luxury than the Laramie '98. The reality kicked in when I realized that I could upgrade the Jeep into a 3 year newer 3500 Cummins for $54 more per month. Since the jeep was staying home on the longer adventures, it didn't make sense. I pick up the new truck tomorrow, but for now you can see what I bought with the Dodge proceeds for the wife to drive instead of the Jeep:
'99 UZJ100 Land Cruiser with lockers and OME suspension. It is so much nicer than the 12 year newer jeep that its ridiculous!
