New Truck!
So about 3 weeks ago, someone pulled out in front of me in the Desert Storm and killed it. Fortunately, I was unhurt! It had just rolled over 200k with no sign of slowing down. After a few days of owning the insurance company I was able to get enough to pick up this sweet '97 with 88k miles! Its a 4.0 2WD Ext Cab with the camper shell. It when it was bought new by an old man sold to people at his church and then to me. It had a check engine light when I purchased it (PO401), but got that sorted out today and I'm good to go! I'll try to be on here more with this truck then I was with the last!

It was quite a hit but no injuries on my side so that's good! I came out like a bandit on this one. The new truck is so much clean than the old and has 120k less miles!

Did you keep that low profile toolbox from your 98? They're difficult to find. I love mine.

Re: New Truck!
