Thank you for confirming my suspicions haha. I am ok living with an imperfect vehicle, as long as it can be trusted to get me where I'm going day in and day out, while it seems a lot of you need to have everything "just so." And this site has been fantastic, I really appreciate the input from...

What does that $10k include, is that your purchase price as well? Are you doing your own work or paying shop labor? I think I perhaps set the wrong tone in my first post. I am not looking for a Camry that only requires $100 of maintenance every 5 years, the experience of owning and driving...

That's kind of my thinking as well, however I don't want it to nickel and dime me to death either. I had my OBD II scan tool with me last night, however I realized as I was getting it out of the car that the truck is OBD I being a 95. Crap! I do know that codes applying to the evap system can...

Hi guys, I'm brand spankin new to MUD, and really off roading in general, but have spent quite a bit of time here the past couple days. I've been looking for some kind of 4wd rig to stand in for my 4th gen Camaro as a daily driver during the winter months, and also maybe do some light wheeling...
