Moving on up.

Traided my 93 on a 04 DRW the other day. So it looks like I'll be it the 3rd gen section now. Good luck with all your work on your 1st gens it's been a fun ride.

Ain't that the truth. But maybe he means he'll be higher up on the main forum page. They look down on us 1st Gen'ers....until the repair bills start piling up.

Gave me 6k trade in couldn't resist it. And I got to keep the wheels and brand new 285/75 R16 BFG km2's that I had just bought. that will be for sale. The new truck has everything I wanted in a truck for towing. You guy keep building them fist gen's I know I'll miss mine. But sometime you got to do what you got to do.

Give us a report good things you like and the bad things you don't like about your new rig.
Having had both you can can tell us the truth.
I like them all.
If I had the green I would be in a 2012 crew cab 8' Box with silver paint.
Make sure you come back and give your report on the 3rd Gen compared to the 1st Gen
Having fun is the key.

i can report between the two. my old 3rd gen was more comfy, quieter, better ride, could out tow, out accelerate, easier to turn up, etc... but it didnt have a 12v under the hood.
