Well I have blown up a lot of things this year but its getting close to an end for me working on my rig. I am pretty abusive sometimes and its starting to show. The worst part is a just bought a house and I don't know if I can afford to keep my truck around and eat at the same time too. In 2005 I have blown the headgasket twice( its gone now too), blew up the output shaft, ripped my rear shocks off, and now my batteries just died and my shutoff solenoid went out too.
This year alone I painted the truck, put the twins on it and a new set of tires. I have a lot of fun in this thing but I am not sure if I can keep doing this 4 wheeling and drag racing thing at the same time. I am just getting frustraited and needed to vent a little bit. Oh yeah would anyone want to sponsor me?

Hang in there!!!

 

Drive it a little nicer for the next year. Actually you have taken care of most of the expensive crap.

 

Ill take it off your hands! Dont sell it! You have a sweet truck. Im going to try to keep mine forever if it is financially possible for me to do. It may not happen, but that is my dream/plan. My dad and uncles, etc are always wishing they had their first car back...Well. This is my first vehicle, and i hope i dont become one of them some day saying , "man...I wish i had my old 94 12 valve back. That thing was sweet". She turned over 188k tonight, and i plan to drive it for a good while still. Probably daily till at least 300k.

I know I would kick myself now if I sold it. Its just hard when everything starts to snowball. Its like well if I have to pull the head again, why not get it oringed? Oh while its off I can throw in some good valve springs, why not just get the turbos hight temp coated? I need a new daily driver

 

I can solve your turbo problems , you just yank those puppies off of there , stick em in a box and mail em up to me, they are bad for your engine anyways

 

Oh I forgot to add, my tcase is almost dead too

 

buy a little $500 beater to drive... having your only vehicle be your toy is always stressful

 

Thats why I ride the XR as a daily driver. My truck is for pulling things!

 

Last time I bought a 200 dollar beater it turned into a monster. Bought a 84 chrysler laser with a blown headgasket. Long story short, it ended up with 2.5 turbo with monster injectors, big intercooler and it was a sweet sleeper. I can't keep anything stock.
