GBW Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 that must have been one big bunny to push that out! Been brewing since 2006 too!!!
dave524 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 A pick-up wud of been nice but...(sumpin' about lookin' a gift horse in the mouth)... After years of trucks I too downsized to a Jeep Liberty same year as your new vehicle, much the same size too, with a 4' by 8', 3500 pound axle landscape trailer I can do every thing the pickup did and more . Neighbor in his early 70's just dumped his cab and a half Ram PU for a Ford Escape, Love the shorter wheelbase in parking lots, I swear they are making the spots and rows narrower in recent years.
Old Ironmaker Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 Nice Beans, very nice, I can't imagine what Santa is going to get you, a new boat! I have been thinking of going the SUV route myself. One advantage of NOT having my pickup is doing favours that include lifting stuff in and out of the bed and my wife asking if the furniture she wants to buy will fit in the truck.
Old Ironmaker Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 I swear they are making the spots and rows narrower in recent years. They have been making them smaller and smaller every time they repaint Dave. My uncle picked up a mint condition 75' Lincoln Continental in Florida, it sticks out 4 feet into the roadway in the store parking space and you can just open the door to get in or out.
manitoubass2 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 Sweet! Thats on heck of a present beans! Dave, I miss our Jeep liberty, what fantastic vehicle! Unfortunately our ran it's course. 2003 to 2016 isn't a bad run
GBW Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 My egg has yet to hatch. waiting on the delivery...
manitoubass2 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 My egg has yet to hatch. waiting on the delivery... You sold the truck????
GBW Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 You sold the truck???? Yeah traded it in... *sigh*
DanD Posted April 19, 2017 Report Posted April 19, 2017 Nice. I've worked on quite a lot of these and they're not a bad vehicle. There is one thing you need to have checked with every oil change. The rear upper spindle bushings; they are famous for failing. It isn't a real safety issue (unless left way to long); but they'll chew up the rear tires, if the vehicle is driven any length of time with a worn out bushing. Here's a couple of diagrams showing the bushings I'm talking about. There's one on each side on the rear. Enjoy your new ride. Dan.
Beans Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks Dan...I copied the pictures and will show them to my mechanic...I'm lucky if I put 5,000 klms on a year...mostly local runs with the odd one to Peterborough...It will be nice to get to places too far for my medical scooter... The Buick came from London... Edited April 19, 2017 by Beans
