^Totally. Makes sense. But new truck convo aside, $2500 for a good shape Big block K30 4x4 square?? O M G
You’d have an easy 50% per year returning that thing now!
I mean, I love bombing around in my old CJ5. To the store or on a trail or across town maybe.
My 86 GMC, also fun to drive. Loud, lifted, big block, cooool! Don’t mind even driving that to seattle. 3000rpms at 70 mph is a bit muc though. In fairness an original truck with taller gears would be more user friendly and comfortable.
Both would make it to Colorado and back. And the truck would tow a camper
But unless out of necessity, I wouldn’t consider it with either, not in the least. I’d at a minimum have a GMT 400 if I was doing road trips in an older truck.
