I think a lot of it is spring. When we started shopping we couldn't find much and then early spring many came up for sale and we eventually found ours. The market dries up in winter. I'm surprised...

I'll never be able to justify this financially but we have zero regrets. Picked up our rig in Idaho this weekend and slowly fished our way back to Montana. Even fits in the garage with 1" to spare....

All good advice and I've pretty much thrown economics out the window awhile ago. These rigs are a lifestyle choice not a wise investment. I'm on the fence with getting something cheaper with the...

I have toyed with the idea of making some improvements to a 2wd and haven't completely ruled it out. However, I'm pretty gun-shy of the 6.0. I've read threads where people haven't...
