Thanks for the welcome to the forum TOASTY. I wouldn't presume to be part of a crew until I earned some stripes, so I'm not trying to step on any toes here. I'd just rather get advice from guys who wheel in this area of the country and have put in some hours on their rigs and know a lot of the in's and out's. I've read a lot of the AZ crew posts for that reason, along with the main Mitsu and Isuzu forums. Plus I enjoy looking at all the trip photos you guys have posted up. Just what I want to do in the near future.

I saw a '99 on CL last week with only 146K on it for $4K, but it got snapped up pretty quick. Plus it was maroon. Long story, won't get into it here, but I have an aversion to red/maroon vehicles. Looking for something light colored anyway. I've owned a black vehicle out here before, and it's murder in the summer.

I'm partial to the SOHC 3.5, but hey, like you said, if the price is right, I could be interested. Let me know. Thanks again.
