He had a 20' conex delivered and wanted it moved. Hooked a chain to the bottom of the conex and to the pintle on the truck. Truck drug it half a mile like it wasn't back there. About 5,000 lbs flat on the ground. Impressive.

My Durango came with 1/4 tank of 2-year old gas in tank. It is starting and running good on that, but I will probably pour in 5 gallons of fresh stuff after the price drops off a little more next week.

It has the V-6 engine and 148k likes showing on the odometer.

Just bought a Class C on Chevy van chassis. Sat for over 4 years with 3/4 of a 33 gallon tank. Added battery and the 350 fired right up and drove it 5 miles home. Only has 65K on the clock. My Durango has the Hemi and just crossed 200K my son sold his with 250K and it still a daily driver around here.

I bought a service truck a while back that has sat for 4 years. I didn’t figure it was going to run but with a hot battery it started and ran pretty good. That wasn’t the first vehicle I’ve had that started after multiple years either. Old gas definitely wreaks small engines but doesn’t seem that bad in vehicles.

Add to it that this one had the Catalytic Converter cut out while it sat. Bit loud driving home with open pipe. But you are correct if some fuel remains in the tank it is not a problem for fuel injection, way worse with carbs.

The owners manual for a '66 Scout was a time warp. It was the size of a phone book in the 70's, an showed you how to RECUT the GEARS at a machine shop. Not just any old gear... all of them. Crazy, by today's standards.
This was such an interesting vehicle, in the sense that it was an agricultural vehicle that sort of, also, you could drive on the road at 60 miles per hour.

My old “sweetcorn fetcher”, the little JD LT-150, has just about had it. I hope to get about 10 years out of the Durango for that purpose. It runs like it has a lot of life left in it. With 4 wheel drive, it is much better at traversing rough terrain.

A jeep would be a perfect cheap side by side.

Have you looked at prices for what should be "cheap" Jeep's lately? even old squarekee's aren't cheap anymore unless you stumble on someone that hasn't looked on craigslist or facebook marketplace in half a decade... Anymore you have to be in the right place at the right time or know how to fix something to get a good deal...
