DO NOT go there there this weekend, or any holiday weekend for that matter.
It will be a drunken fiasco that you don't want any part of.

Mine ran flawlessly and was the quietest 4.0 jeep I've ever owned. 260k and it rode very nice on the highway. Door wiring was the only issue I had with it.
I will say I would much rather work on an xj though

I have friends that go to Haspin every Memorial Day weekend. They claim it's a good time. I've never been there, primarily because where they camp, by the shoe tree, I can't get my RV back there.
My dad has had his 04 WJ 4.0 for 4 years now. He bought it with 50k and it has a little over 70k on it. He loves it. I did notice a couple months ago when we were changing the power steering pump that the head gasket is weeping on the passenger's side. I'm sure at some point we'll be changing it...

Rosco borrowed my car trailer once to take his buggy back there on it to camp because he didn't want to take his enclosed back there...

Did you see the mess from the Ultra4 event in Oklahoma this past weekend? They had to cross a river getting their stuff out of the event site...toters, RV, all of it. They were putting rental cars on roll back tow trucks to get people out of there...
It was what I imagined getting to the shoe tree might be like lol.

Yea would be about same. My buddy was beating on his poor truck trying to get the camper thru the mud and out of there. Not bad if it's dry but if it rains you might as well forget it.

Reminds me of the trip we took to Rockport.
I rained and we had a heck of a time getting the RVs out.

Opinions on the GM 6.5l turbo diesel?
My opinion as of now is it's an underpowered turd.
The truck I'm 'sorta' looking at is a 2000, crew cab, long box, 4wd, rebuilt motor, rust free K3500 single tire. $6400

I knew you would be.
There's like a .04% chance I'm even going to look at this truck in person.
I really think I want a 2500 with a 6.0 gasser.

I would choose the 6.0 or 8.1 before the 6.5 diesel. Just never heard they had much power out of them compared to other diesels. Of course i don't know much and change trucks every couple months. Just my $.02

Find me a rust free square body 4 x 4 suburban 3/4 ton with a 6.2 diesel.
No need for power windows and that stuff, but it must have A/C.

I have had two. If you want Cummins or PSD power, you're not going to get it. To get any decent power out of one you're looking at $3k right out of the gate, not to mention fixing the reliability/cooling problems.
My opinion if you want a turnkey towrig buy Josh's or look for a 6.0 gasser. 6.5s these days are for diehard guys that know what they are getting into and do it anyway.
Got a link?
