| Notes: |
I bought this truck on 12/17/05 for $500. its a VERY nice truck with only a few "minor" problems.
It has an automatic transmission which will need replaced by the end of '06, and it has a few leaking gaskets (draining my oil). Some body cancer can be found on it in a few places aswell. This may sound major, but i met a mechanic when i bought the truck that told me he would help me work on it and offer a great discount.
It goes through gas like it was water, 5 gallons barely gets it past E.....But i love her, so its ok.
I cant wait to take her offroading and too the beach. Just cant Wait  |

A nice white scuff mark left on my truck by a full size Dodge van that decided he wouldnt be careful with his doors.

Maintenance & Modification Logs
| Date | Type | Mileage | Title / Description | $ Amount | | 12/30/05 | Maintenance | 183013 | Jiffy Lubed

| 56.48 | | 12/30/05 | Repair | 183013 | New radiator cap and antifreeze
Well, i stopped at a stoplight today and smoke started pouring from the engine... I panicked thinking it was a fire... pulled over jumped out and found out it was the radiator.
the lid popped off spraying the liquid everywhere.... So i stopped by autozone and picked up a $5 bottle of antifreeze and a $4 radiator cap. works like new now. | 9.00 | | 12/30/05 | Modification | 183013 | New Stereo
Found a dual Am/Fm/Cd/MP3 player that came with all the wireing and 2 speakers at Walmart for $88.
I installed it today, its pretty nice. Crystle clear sound Blue LED backlite. came with a remote and detachable face also. | 88.00 | | 12/30/05 | Damage | 183013 | Back window motor blew (need one.. if you have one contact me)
well, this happened on Xmas...but we didnt determine the engine dying to be the cause until today. We went to upullit afterwards and pulled one off a 1980 ford bronco... got it home and hooked it up (and that thing is a PAIN to hook up) and found out it didnt work.
So now i cannot find one anywhere (im returning the upullit one), all the local junkyards say they dont have any and the parts stores want $75 for them. So until i find another i guess im SOL. | 15.00 | | 12/29/05 | Miscellaneous | 183013 | Bought some new used items
Bought a Rollbar and a tire carrier from the junk yard...sadly i cant install them yet due to my back window being stuck....
Rollbar=$14
Tire carrier=$10 | 24.00 | | 12/26/05 | Maintenance | | replaced brakelight
drove all the way to a reletives house then found out the Right breaklight was out... and it just so happend the P.O. left me a Bulb in the Glovebox... so now i have 2 working break lights. | 0.00 | | 12/25/05 | Modification | | Tore that goofy fin off.
Removed the rear spoiler.... its now sitting in the back of the truck....im torn between selling it or keeping it to put it back on when i paint the truck in the future. | 0.00 | | Total | 192.48 |
