Sounds like you're trying to do what all of us has done at one time or another. Your trying to rationalize buying a duece. If it will make you feel better I'll go ahead and agree with you. They are fun as heck and very capable but are far from the safest vehicle on the road when it comes to driver safety.
They cost more to maintain than a CUCV. The oil change alone will cost over twice as much.
i agree. you just have to impulse buy. i drove mine back 8 hrs in a freakin monsoon with NDT's on it. Never driven one before in my life....scary. i love it though. its a blast to drive around. already spent more than i paid for it in parts, but thats par for the course. as far as safety goes if you roll it i would say your pretty much through, so if you have that in mind i was say that a deuce isnt right for you. many people on here say its an addiction. they are right. im going to look at 8 of them that are coming up on GL for auction here local. FYI if anybody is wanting to bid on some trucks at Eglin AFB, FL on GL let me know, and I will try to get by and check them for you.
