Throwback Thursday!!! Let's see those trade-ins vs what you have now photos!!!

[redriderjf87]

Sold my 2015 Colorado 2.5L / 6-speed.

Absolutely great truck, never had to go back to the dealer over 90k miles.

If GM let me get 4wd and/or limited slip with the manual, I might have kept it.

But glad to have the JT soft top, didn't know what I was missing.

Traded 24 2 door for Gladiator. Had dealer put AEV 2 inch spacer lift on it just so I could get my 37s on it. Real lift is sitting in the corner along with Warn Zeon 10s. Waiting on Artec stubby bumper then I’ll start building it out.

Bad move right there. I’d give up my truck for a mint f-250 like that.

It was a sad day sure. The truck was built, and awesome! Shackle flip and reversal, SD 250 springs so it had more give, and literally floated on the highway. Front and rear lockers, bulletproof racing transmission, banks exhaust brake, a mild tune and stage 2 injectors with a fully rebuilt engine. The buyers picked up a truck that cost more than double what they paid. But here's the thing. With my broken body I was getting to a point where I almost couldnt' even get into it. I had to actually carry a 3' step ladder with me. And changing tires was nearly impossible. I had a couple flats and barely got a spare on to get it to town. Not to mention it really did not like the cold, and there are only about 3 shops within 7 hours of me that I would trust to work on it. Parts were getting hard to find. The little things like a low vacuum switch were unobtanium, or a washer spray pump. There were alternatives, but I was getting tired of trying to figure it all out. it was in perfect condition when sold, but I knew that the next thing that did break was probably going to be difficult to find a replacement for. But still, I could hardly get into the truck - so it pretty much made it unusable for me - which is primarily why I only went with a 2.5" lift on the JT. I'll tell you though the width aside, that thing could go anywhere my JT can go.

Do you still have that LJR? Man I want one

Nope. Sold it for more than I paid for it. Very good investment! It didn’t get half the attention of my 94 F350 7.3 manual that I have. Just hit 100,000 miles. I get ridiculous offers on that weekly.

Traded in a 2009 for this 2018 Manual Rubicon Unlimited.

For this stock 2021 Sport S automatic. Built it up over the last 2 years.

Lots of full size truck people downsizing. Interesting.

Me in particular the last year I had my truck I had only put about 550 miles on it in a year. That's why I downsized. I wasn't using it.
