Yea I would lean to truck 2. The auto in the first one will likely give you problems, and number 2 is the tested and proven 5 speed as well as slightly lower miles. Number 3 couldn't be bothered to wash his truck for the pictures he's using to sell it, so that turns me off automatically...

Yep definately #2, If I had the choice I would have gotten the 4.0L/5speed combo with the TTB suspension.

Keep in mind truck 2 needs a clutch......thats at least 150 in parts and thats the cheap advance auto parts kit....plus a whole lot of headache getting the Y-pipe bolts off. See if you can talk him down some.

Actually, you don't NEED to get the y-pipe off to drop the tranny, just two people to shimmy it just right. :icon_thumby:

I'm still leaning towards truck two even with it needing a clutch I'd hit it.:icon_thumby:

Truck #2 :icon_thumby:

1 is an auto....and the a4LD is just plain crap.

2 is a good looking truck, 4L and 5spd. A clutch is an easy day job, and you can use it to drop the price.

3 just looks like it might have been used and abused. I'd be cautious about it, as it could turn into a money pit.
