That is an awesome looking little truck. They sure look good. There is just something about the MJ trucks. I'm tickled pink that my daughter likes the truck. Should have seen her grinning like crazy today when I picked her up from the bus. And she had fun telling the bus driver that the truck was hers.

 

Hint: That's Adrien Brody

 

I can't see when this news was announced? What's with the price? Is it something older or is this the case now?

 

New trucks are just cadilacs with beds

 

That's why I'm happy to put my $$ towards freshening up an old workhorse 2nd Gen.
You can do an awful lot of work to a 2nd Gen for that kind of jingle.

 

Too many people buy trucks who shouldn't own them in the first place. Trucks should have a rubber floor covering and not carpeting.

 

I agree 130%

 

My first truck was a '41 Chevy. It had a flatbed Ford instead of the original Chevy step side box on it. My dad had put it together with a '55 Chevy straight six engine and a 5 speed transmission from like a '39 Chevy ton truck.

It was in my opinion a real workhorse of beasty old buggy. My last truck was a '86 Chevy Tahoe 4X4, V6, 5 speed, with an extended cab and camper shell on it. I know I could have loaded both the '41 and the '86 and the '41would have pulled them both but the '86 would not have.

In between I had some other 'toy' trucks, a Ford Ranger with a 4 banger and auto transmission. Got that one for $200.00 with well over 200,000 miles on it, was mostly rust when I got it but it made it through the winter and into summer which was more than I planned to drive it. Later I got a Dodge Dakota 4X4 with a V6 and automatic.

I sold the Dakota for more than I paid for it to a fellow who needed a transfer case.

I inherited a '53 Dodge custom cab with the flat head 6, three on the tree fluid drive transmission. Used to push snow with that a lot even though it was not 4 wheel drive.

I really liked that old truck. Did not put a lot of miles on it just worked on it a lot. Finally someone offered me more money than I thought it was worth and sold it, kicked myself for that ever since.

 

That's the way mine came from the factory, so I guess it's a Real Truck. 'Scuse me while I dash out to the garage to give it the good news.

 

So does it feel like Christmas anywhere to anyone? Weather here has been crazy, warm, hot, cold, hot, warm, cold...

Rather annoying actually.
