How much would you pay for this truck?

[JC316]

I have a 95 cheepo edition. I6, 5 speed, 236K miles and it still drives like new.

Shit my 2wd 300 I6 is only getting 10-12mpg with 31st.

You know what's funny about that is that we used to have salesmen that would BS their customers into buying the 4.9 over the 5.0 for "better mpg"....and those ended up being some pissed off people. I can't tell you how often folks came in to the shop thinking something was wrong with their new truck b/c of the mpg. When those 4.9s were brand new some of them were terrible....less than 10. I remember we sold a bunch of Extended cab 4x4s with the 4.9, and those were awful.

I'd rather have the 5.0 just for the extra power, granted my truck has the optional tow package with 3.56 gears.

but how much is CJ asking for his red truck?

Those trucks are getting damned rare to find, and especially with the manual transfer case. I've always liked them a lot myself, those were even rare to see when I was working in the dealership back around the time they were new. 95' was a VERY good year to own too, they had the updated radius arm bushing design by then as well as the AC and several other things....if memory serves correctly I think that was also the first year for EEC-V on those trucks. The one bad thing tho...they suck on MPG....and the SWB 4x4's only have one tank too. I had a SWB 5.0 2WD with some 31's on it a couple years ago and it got all of about 12mpg most of the time.

Oh...and /thread!:

yea, those are sweet trucks, here is another clean one:

That thing looks comfy. I'd lose some of the crap that's on it but still looks comfy on the inside.

5.0 cj's truck for sale is a hell of a lot nicer

i thought CJ sold his already... haven't seen it for sale in some time. Also isn't it a manual? I'm tired of driving stick for a daily and a truck would only be more annoying. I'm not wheeling, so i have ZERO use for a manual.

Also Cj's is not a 4x4. I want 4x4 for sure. I would say that CJ's is a little nicer exterior, but the 4x4 interior and underhood are nicer.

That 4.6 I6 is a good engine and in a smaller truck (reg cab F150 or Bronco) they supposedly are a good choice. Very few Bronco's had them, mostly just the fleet stuff like the Forestry Vehicles.

I like almost nothing about that. Visor, cab lights, Grill guard, Chrome rocker panels and the rest of the bling have ruined it for me. I like them much more simple. I just want one that has a completely stock appearance with a little bit of lift. Two-tone is okay for certain factory combinations but I really prefer a solid color.
