There was a NO FAT CHICKS sticker on the passenger door thanks to the ol' North Waco TAMOR. :gigem:
I thought of it. Exhausted my efforts on a 04 half ton chevy 4x4, 04 F-350 6.0 4x4, and 99 3/4 ton chevy 2wd instead. I got none of them. I bid $3226 on the F-350 and it went for 3400, sealed bid. Was a smoker though, and not in a way anybody could say is good.Quote:

saw that one, sadly not EFI or x-cab.
that cab looks a lot bigger than today's cab...
EFI is really criteria for buying a truck?
Early yota EFI is more ghetto than GM tbi.
I thought flapper valve EFI was a myth when I read my RR rover repair manual...then I bought a toyota. I lover that there is no relay for the fuel pump...that air has to actually be moving through the engine....that is ghetto
yes, EFI is a must. I have owned vehicles with style of EFI and it work fine, much better than carburetion.
saw this FJ45 for sale, kind of cool: http://dallas.craigslist.org/car/522150244.html

As for toy efi being ghetto, that seems kinda funny to me considering stock toy engines are some of the most reliable and longest running engines on the road or trail today.

I think that would be a pretty cool rig for you. A mild lift, or spring over, some 35s, and you've got a wheeler that can carry 4+ people and a bunch of beer.
still one of the best deals out there, but more than I want to spend.

I knew there was a 5 involved in there some where :D Not sure that is a route I want to go, would need some parts swapping to get it where I wanted.Quote:
