Real good deal for a 4x4 in great shape, on the higher end of what I see for a 4x2, but not crazy out of line...

Thanks for all the responses and advice on this forum - appreciate it.

I just picked up an 04 quad cab, 5.7 Hemi with 82k miles. Big Horn Edition (I understand that's s just a badging package), Flowmaster exhaust and in great shape. Here's the truck: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/2534567908.html

The seller was a straight-up guy and gave me a good price. I will post some better pics later.

The springs doesn't surprise me, I know a guy with 150k on his '03 hemi with the originals and he's never had a problem (know guys with 70k that snapped them too, though). But the LSD making it 120k without a clip issue, if not a record, would be close to it...

Lookin' good! I'd say we could get together for a 3 truck picture shoot with Freestyle, I do a trip to the Clayton area in spring & fall to camp and trout fish and either take 441 the whole way (right thru Milledgeville) or head over I16 to Macon and hit Bass Pro on the way and then do the loop around Atlanta on my way up I85 towards the mountains BUT I always take the Jeep - better gas mileage and way more dry storage especially when I put the hard shell trunk on top...

Thanks again for you help Hammer.

So you don't have a Z71?

I have an 04 Z71 Avalanche that is ragged out but that I love.

If you haven't been up 441 lately, a lot more of it is divided 4-lane, including the whole length between Dublin and Milledgeville -- along with a 65 speed limit in many parts.

My store is 100 yards off the 441 bypass in Milledgeville so I hope you stop by if you come through during business hours!

I was up thru that way the end of last September. I camped in May, but went up I85 and came back thru Augusta to see a couple of my cousins.

I'm not going to be able to make my trip this fall, I only have funds for a trip up to the farm for a couple weeks of dove/deer and hog hunting, but rest assured I'll be up thataway not long after trout season opens in the spring...

I lived in Lincolnton from '91-94 and Vidalia from '94-04 and fished bass tourney's heavy. Used to fish Sinclair at least a dozen times a year and I would be up above Clayton camping and trout fishing at least 4 or 5 times a year...
