Agreed! Buy a regular one you like and add the lift and gears to it that you want.

 

Had I had the job I have now about 5 months ago there was an 01 1500 qc sb sport with leather and everything that was an off-road package for $7000 but it only had 62,000 miles. I would've bought that thing in a heartbeat. For the miles it was a good deal (for around here anyways) with out the off-road package. I may look for a lower miled one instead of an off-road package or just go v10 route and buy a cheap work car. Been working on my uncle to sell me his immaculate 2000 buick regal supercharged for a DD. Idk that shelby durango has been eating some time and money still. I finally am on my way for tuning that. Been some set backs that are resolved.

 

I've been watching craigslist for quite a while looking for ORE's being parted out. I want to change over to the tow hook style sport front bumper. It would be nice to have tow hooks on the front just in case, but don't want to spend the big money on a winch bumper. I always seem to find them hours after they're already sold.

 

So I finally found one that looked like a decent deal that wasn't sold before I could get a look. I drove 7hrs one way just to find out it was all hailed out. There wasn't a single panel that didn't have hail damage on it including the doors. All he said was "I never noticed when it got traded in." I was fuming to say the least. As much as I like that red it doesn't show hail in photos. Here's the truck http://www.wardmillerautosales.com/2...SD_8697032.veh

 

It looks to be in pretty good shape? The hail dents will improve fuel economy..... You know, like a golf ball.

 

Well I counted 6 dents in 1sq/ft on the hood and that wasn't the worst of it. I thought it looked good too, otherwise I wouldn't have driven 7hrs one way. That red doesn't show in photos. I called a friend of mine and he estimated over $3000 for PDR if the paint didn't crack.

 

Yeah, body work just isn't cheap....... Will the dealer knock a bunch off for the hail damage?

 

No, I ended up walking away from it. 14hrs of driving for nothing.

 

Well, that kinda sucks..... I was looking half-heartedly for around a year before I found mine..... (the replacement truck.)

 

Well after a year of searching for a 1500 off road package I gave up when I saw this
