Considering Selling Pancho

I've been back and forth on this topic for the last 6 months. 2 young kids, lack of confidence in my '99 Durango as a tow rig, and just not enough time to go wheeling have pretty much forced my hand on this. I have put a lot of blood and sweat (a few tears) into working on this rig since I got it from TP, and I just don't get to use it. I know the minute I sell it, I'll regret it, but I think a nice ATV would serve me a whole lot more at the deer camp, and it's a whole lot easier to tow and I could store it with the trailer in my garage. A new tow rig is just not in the cards in the immediate future. Maybe 2-3 years out. A new house with sufficient storage space for Pancho with trailer is probably 10 years out.

Have you guys ever gone thru this sort of dilemma, and if so, what way did you decide and why? I know that Pancho holds a lot of future fun times for me and my family when the kids get older, so I'm not quite ready to sell it. Just considering it.

Just go 'head and get divorced. Give up all rights to the young'uns. Sell off what lil' the divorce lawyers leave ya. Put the Cruiser in storage along with some campin' gear.

Get a high-payin' job that requires travel out-of-state ... but pays for all your expenses.

On your time-off ... fly into town, take a taxi from the airport to the storage unit, and go out wheelin'/campin' in your Junk.

Worked for me anyway.

Good luck.
