Good gawd, massive replies!! I hadn't expected this. Quite nice!

Ok, well, I'll try to sum up my feelings as individual replies would take way too long.

Setting up my current IFS rig (ext cab remember) would mean that I'm depending on it remaining reliable enough to get me to work & back M-F. Also, I'm not one to drive something that looks like a beater as a daily driver, even if it runs fine. I know many of you don't care about appearance, that's just me. Who care's.

Anyway, with a second truck, ('85 being the best IMHO) it could suffer a terminal illness & it wouldn't affect my daily routine. I could work on it when I felt like it, not that night so I could go to work in the morning.

I feel that wheeling in the PNW ya need a shorter wheelbase, the trails just seem to be chock full of tight corners & switchbacks through dense forest. A few weeks ago I did a bit wheelin' down near Naches & on the easy trails I was cutting it close for turn radius. Btw if any Seattle locals want to do some wheeling I'm game, but I might need some help through the hairer stuff

Anyway, I really appreciate all the feedback, thanks again.

Cheers,
