Wow Matty, I never thought you would consider selling the bad a$$ rig. Good luck with the sell, and yes an MJ on one tons would be awesome.
To anyone considering this purchase, if you can DO IT! That thing has been everywhere over everything.

You know...... i would buy a Duramax if i were to change to diesel, but we get hooked on Toyota's through my work so.... Toyota it was. For a 5.7 gas engine its pretty good towing. Pulls the jeep on trailer without breaking a sweat, but only at about 10mpg.
