Good luck with the sale, Creede. The vehicle was a wonderful G when I owned it and the next owner will enjoy it as well. What's next for you?

Thanks! I've really enjoyed it, I just wish I lived closer to a place where I actually needed it. Replaced it with a 1982 300TD.

Replaced it with a 1982 300TD.

Wow! Really interested in the thought process there.

Wow! Really interested in the thought process there.

Honestly the G500 has way more capability than I need in Texas. There is almost nowhere in the state besides private property where I need 4wd, and sadly I just haven't made it out of state enough to justify it. The 300td has almost the same payload (a couple hundred pounds less) plus the SLS suspension that makes it comfy when unloaded or with 1,000 lbs in the back. It gets almost three times the MPG which means a much better range, it's stupid simple with almost zero electronics and an engine that will go 500k. All that and it's much easier to get the 120lb dog in and out of. Oh, and I can sleep in the back comfortably. Its more about what I need than what I want. If I lived in Colorado or Utah, I would definitely keep the truck. Sadly, Texas blows for camping.

Having lived a good amount of time in Texas, I can understand all of that. The state flag should be a private property sign. Good Stuff, GLWTS. I didn't pay much less than that for my '91 - This really is a deal.
