@Hickey talk of doing the Idaho backcountry discovery route at some point next year has me realizing I want more trail capable vehicle again.
I’d love to hear some of your thoughts on what you would do with a $15,000 budget
I need it to be reliable so part of that budget would be going through an older vehicle, making sure everything is up on current maintenance and probably picking up some spares like alternator fuel pump and things like that to keep with me.
I want it to be fairly capable off road. I don’t need it to be a rock crawler. My thoughts are 33s with a rear locker would take me to places I would want to go
When I first thought about picking something up, I thought OK 10 grand should get me something. I don’t need anything to daily Drive. Just something I can take on some more aggressive off road trails, But after looking into it. It seem like even at 15 grand I’m not going to find much that doesn’t have 300k miles in my in my price range if I leave room for things like wheels, tires, lift, gears and locker. And the budget to build some bumpers and rocker protection.
Am I up in the night thinking this is doable for $15 grand? It’s not so much setting a higher budget as I don’t think that even at 15 grand I would get the use out of it to justify the money it’s more just something I want so that’s kind of my top of what I’m thinking.
