Hello all. Greetings from El Paso.

As my username suggests, I recently became the owner of an 02 2wd regular cab SLT for free. I had a jeep, and took it to the shop, motor was blown and I didn't feel like paying for a new one.

Long story short, I traded my 88 jeep for the truck and $500 worth of tools from the snap on guy.

It has some body rust, but that's no biggie. I'm doing a full tune up this week and it needs a front passenger wheel hub.

All in all, I'm pretty stoked about having a truck. My first car ever was a 75 Duster with a 360.. so I'm happy to be back in the Mopar family.

She's far from perfect, has that dash problem that I have read seems to be the norm on these. But nothing I can't handle.

My only concern is my wife will be done on active duty this summer and were moving to Montana. So the 2wd won't be ideal, but that duster I had was also in Montana, so I'm thinking I will be ok.

Put some wight in the bed and carry chains and you should be good to go for paved roads at least in The Last Best Place.
