That would put me over $10k and I wouldn't have a winch or better tires yet. Is it worth while to spend an additional $2k+ on the newer one and still have to spend more on a winch?

I guess that depends on what brand(s) you want to use. I bought a PROMARK(Gorilla)3000lb XTR Full synthetic pkg o of EBAY 2 yrs ago for $140 (installed myself). I've plowed TONS of snow for the past 2 winters w/NP. WARN was $400+ non-synthetic dealer installed.

I added MUDCAT tires from TBC for $65 frnt/$75 Rear and they ARE AWESOME! I could of spent $125+ a piece for ITPs or MAXXIS...but why?

It again comes down to choice. What's your plan for your intended usage? Trail - Mud - Rock Climbing - Work?

I'd keep shopping around. There's deals to be had.

Good luck

I ended up getting it. Got it for $7,099 OTD. It is NOT one of the first 80 produced in 2008 (if that really means anything). There is 150 miles on it. I'm getting a winch installed and a plow set up. I'll post pics when I pick it up in a few weeks.

I'm working with may be a bit high but I'll try and work on that when I go to put a deposit in it. He is in the ball park it seems though.
