What did you guys do?

[PorscheTech911]

Well I can't afford to buy a deuce yet unless I get lucky and get one for $150 from GL. So what did you do to help pass the time until you got yours? I'm going nuts waiting for my luck to turn around!

 

[Recovry4x4]

I did lawns in the evening and any little job I could to get extra money. Did labor jobs and what not. Also had a paper route.

 

[Blood_of_Tyrants]

Watch GSA. They have deuces on there all the time for a lot less than GL.

Buy a 5 ton

I surfed the web looking at all the fun everyone was having with theirs until I flipped my lid and raided the piggy bank.

That was 3 years ago and now the g/f and I have 5.5 of them. And a mule. And a Jeep. And ann M1009.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Still got that 1009? Heck, I still have your dipstick. Sorry, life is a blur right now!

Build models and take pictures with a telephoto lens

A 5ton just seems to big to me for my first one, ive always wanted a deuce. Ill look into that

It's a long story!

Don't want to sound like a bumper sticker, but don't wait for your luck to change. Make it change. Be creative and get out there and make the extra money that you need.

you say that now. Then when you get a 5 ton you will never turn back for a deuce again

 

[Recovry4x4]

Eh, I started with 5 tons. Now I won't own anything bigger than a deuce. I keep a 5 ton brake drum here in the woods. Anytime I get the urge to buy a 5 ton, I move that brake drum across the yard, my desires change right quick. There is little a 5 ton can do in my life, that a deuce can't.

 

[grounded]

i knew that statement was coming from kenny

But it is true. 5 tons are overkill. But so is a MV. And thats why we love them

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I was bitching about a job I had to
a friend at a bar and grill and someone said to me that only YOU can make your situation better( 15Yr ago). After making advances on a regular basis, I got a lbit complacent and then the other factor rolls in. ( If you keep doing the same thing you've always done, you'll keep geting the same results ). It's a tough time to change jobs, I know but you have to slow down enough to look at where you are and see what your future oppertunties are at your current job and look a couple of years in the future and decide how much time you want to waste where your at if there is no future in it. Getting focused on a written plan will help you.

Good Luck!

I was looking into it, and I really want a multifuel. And I agree with what you said about a 5 ton being overkill, unless I buy a tank I wont need to haul or pull that much. I think a deuce will work, and is easier to find. Just my thought

 

[Speddmon]

I couldn't really afford one either, but I figured with a decent running deuce, it will more than outwork my 3/4 ton Ram. So I bit the bullet and took a chance on a GL deuce. I got very lucky and it's a great runner that was just serviced. So I sold the Ram (It wasn't my daily driver anyway) since I just used it for work around the farm/home. Made enough to pay for the deuce, the lube trailer, one of my generators and the monster air compressor I got from GL.

The only problem now is I've contracted that dreaded OD Iron flu. I WANT MORE!!!!!!

 

[Pawnshop]

I sold off some of my firearms...

 

[PorscheTech911]

Well im going to mechanics school, work at NAPA, and have only 1 German Mauser k98 which I'm not willing to part with. I have an 05 chevy malibu maxx (which I hate) so I'm kinda limited.

...unless I buy a tank I wont need to haul or pull that much....

AH! I think I see a prediction of his NEXT MV!! (Didn't I see a nice Russian Tank on eBay a few weeks ago??)
