91PathSE Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Last fall I sold my pathy and bought a 99 Ranger, real nice truck.....But with all that aside on to the pathy. Its a 87 in decent shape with a recent motor rebuild...If I buy it I will either Option "A" wheel it this season then do a SAS over the course of next winter. OR option "B" SAS it now and wheel the ranger all sumer, OR option "C" SAS the ranger which is very easy and will take about 3 days and about $500 in parts. http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1060208488.html Ill get pics of the Ranger later But what do you all think?

OldSlowReliable Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i like it alot but if you can, i would def check out the frame/body in person, cause i have a feeling that underneath that rhinoliner is RUST "31" bf goodwrench tires" hehe But the guy is right, if they are infact new tires, (im going to assume bfg at) then the price of selling the tires alone would cover most of the cost of the truck personally, id go for it, and SAS it NOW gl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edicer2 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I would say get the pathy and wheel it then SAS it. I think that way you have a good dd (the ranger) and a trail truck (the pathy) that way you wont be with out a car if u broke it. Then I would SAS it when u get a chance and think you will want to put the extra money into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Of course we'll vote for the pathy!! I suppose it depends on what you use each for... lets say they are just as good on and off road... then look at comfort of the trucks on and off road. Do you like to camp, and haul a lot of stuff, do you want that stuff inside & dry, or outside in the box? Would you ever want to sleep in the truck, as opposed to tenting it? Or is it more handy to have an enclosed space (SUV) for grocery shopping & such, as opposed to throwing stuff in the back of a pick up... Some questions to ask...
