How much can I get?

I was just wondering how much you think I can get for my truck if I sold it? This isn't a classified add, but it's an '04 with 19k miles. It's not for sale yet, I'm just tossing the idea around. I'm guessing if I did sell it, I'd be better off putting it back to stock..
Some of you know I started out racing Jr. Dragsters when I was 9 years old... and I did that for almost 9 years. My dream was always to jump into a super comp dragster after that, but that obviously never happened. So I've just been tossing around the idea of getting into that now. There's obviously upsides and downsides... which is why it's a huge decision for me. I guess I just kinda miss going to the track every week and racing for points... and traveling was always fun. I can't do that with my daily driver. Again, it's just something I've been thinking about... nothing definate, not yet at least.
Thanks..

I think you could easily get more than you paid for it. I'd say 25-26... But why in the world would you do that. Think of all the things you'd miss out on. Rob's leg humping, Tim's corrections all the guys here!!! Say it ain't so!

I know you've been thinking about this and I wish you luck. I agree that back to stock is your best bet.

I'd definately miss it, but this truck is nothing but a headache for me since January. Damn thing was gone for a month... the body shop f'd it up more, then I had other problems with it but those problems are fixed now thanks to JDM. Now on top of that one of my traction bars is completely bent... and I know that's not from my accident. I'm done, I can't afford this anymore. F'king pos makes me sick thinking about it.

Sometimes the best thing is a break from the pos. Hell maybe in a year you'll pick up another that will just click with you.

haha

you've been contemplating selling that truck since you bought it.

Next week you'll be buying something new for it.

Keep it, you'll miss it!!!:o

i have had this thought also many times.

lets see my problems...

I had 1/2 the bed replaced the first week i had it. my dumbass caused that.

then...

trans started to miss shifts... so we put a valve body in it. that seemed to keep it okay for a while then it started doing it again so we put the stock valvebody back in and we put a larger line mod valve in it. that heled for a while then it started missing shifts again. I got a monster in a box kit and that lasted 500 miles before it got to the point of sittin at redlights to bucking and grinding. then i got a monster box. that went well, except for when a buddy and i were installing it we got the front o2 harness stuck. repaired it and all seemed fine.

3 weeks later the truck started missing bad. replaced the o2's,check for vac leaks, all filters etc... finally narrowed it down to the harness became disconnected. had WMS repair that perfectly.

all in all I have had my truck down for aroun 7 months in the almost 2 years i have owned it.

2 weeks ago I had a wrangler rubricom lined up to buy, but backed down. I am glad I did. Although my truck has given me absolute hell, but i just can't sell it... dunno why. but o well. she's mine.
