Default Might Be Saying BYE BYE To The Truck!! :-(

Sup guys,

So here is the deal... My mom is willing to trade her 2006 BMW 530xi in for a Jeeps SRT8. She said that will be my car. Then she will trade in the Ram for a BMW X3. We have a couple dogs in our family and she needs a SUV to drive them around in. The dogs are not allowed in the truck at all. So she is willing to pay the difference of the SRT8/BMW trade if I give her the Ram to trade for the BMW X3.

I have a lot on my mind now. I guess I will stop the modding for a bit until I figure this out.

-Erik

I know, I know. Its very tough call. If I do get rid of the truck though I will be selling all my aftermarket parts and put it back to stock.

It's a badass Jeep but it's not a Dodge Ram. I guess the obvious question to ask is - why doesn't she just trade the Beamer for the new Beamer? Or will the dogs not be allowed in the Beamer SUV either and that's what the Jeep is for? Must be some special dogs to need that kind of upgrade. LOL

I know they are both Chrysler products and we love them both but I bought my Ram and my wife's Jeep the same year and they are within 2000 miles of each other on the odometer. Have had more pain in the butt issues with the Jeep than I have with the Dodge. CEL has bugged the crap out of me for about 6 months throwing evap system related codes and so far nobody can figure out why it is doing it.

Well the dogs are not allowed in my car. lol. we have 4 German Shepherds. I don't want the hair in the cloth seats of the truck. But they will be allowed in the BMW X3 cause it will have leather and they are well trained. The current BMW we have is worth more and will pay for most of the Jeep. The new BMW is cheaper (buying it used). But money isn't an issue. Just a hard decision. I love the truck but that jeep will be sick as Hell.

The Jeep is small inside and out. My wife has a JGC and it is nice and all but it is not even close to the same as driving a truck.

Bro, that sucks!!!!! It is a hard decision. I don't think you'll be as happy as you are with your truck. If you do, let me know about those kick a$$ headlights you have, I'd love to take them off your hands. Don't let the truck go though!!!!
