new truck

just taking a vote if you had 1000 to 1200 to spend on a beater 4x4 truck what would you get.... i dont know what would have less stuff go wrong with it when im beating the piss out of it on the trail or mud hole.

My friend got a 1991 F-150 for about $1000, badass truck.

Toyota.

I had a 1988 Toyota Pickup with 33's and I beat the piss out of it. When I sold it it ran like a champ.

74-79 f-250 4x4. I would probably lean more towards the 78-79's with true power steering, they aren't as high, but thats what sawzalls and lift kits are for.

Higher mileage Explorer. Mine's got 177k on it and it is awesome.

 

[x NOODLES x]

Toyota

+10000000000000000000

For that kinda money its your best bet.

Damned right! Those toyota's are ****ing troopers! I have a friend who has 600,000 miles on his. Granted he's had it rebuilt twice but hey. :bowdown::bowdown:

Jeep Cherokee

 

[kaostik]

cherokee

i bought one last winter for $900 with 190k miles, and no one did a damn thing of maintenence on it before i got it....original shocks and everything. it still ran like a beast. i put a grand into it fixing a few odds and ends, and i put 4k+ miles on it in the winter without issue. kicked ass in the snow, too.

i sold it recently to my dad, and he's jacking it up.

id buy another one

1980s K10 Silverado. Put 33s on it and hit the mud. Can't stop the things.

 

[Green92notch]

i cant find any toyotas for cheap... the resale value on them is too high and would like to stick to domestic.

 

[floyd4ford]

In that price range I would say a yota!

 

[ezernut9mm]

67/72 ford f100 highboy. meh, nevermind. you're in ohio. if you did find one i'd either be rusted to hell or a million $$$. they give them away in the northwest though. and if you can't fix one with a screwdriver, bfh, or crescent wrench it probably can't be fixed.

 

[GT_Jim]

I would say an '80's fullsize pickup, built tough and old enough that they are still easy to fix if something does go wrong.

 

[youngone]

My buddies Nissan took one hell of a beaten and ran like a top when he sold it

 

[cobra_4]

Jeep Cherokee or Toyota. Can't break either one.

 

[sixt5]

all you thinkin your gonna get a decent yota for 1200 bucks need to open your eyes. the v6 engines are not valuable at all since they have headgasket problems and get v8 fuel econemy. the 22r/22re with the 5 spd is the way to go but if its anything like here, you cant find em !!
