A Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Tailgate Struts

A Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Tailgate Struts Are you tired of struggling with a drooping tailgate every time you open your vehicle’s trunk? Fear not, because replacing tailgate struts is a straightforward process that you can tackle yourself with just a few basic tools and a little bit of know-how. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to replace your tailgate struts and restore…

[bettsplendens]

Alright, so I've got this guy. His name's Twitch. It's not particularly clever, he has a tiny glitch somewhere in his coding (probably up next to the stuff about how to blink) that makes one of his optic lids twitch. Not important enough to put the effort into fixing it.

He used to work in medical waste disposal, cleaning up messes and removing biohazards and such. 

Accidentally overheard a budding Decepticon going on a very long and entirely logical anti-Functionalist speech to some medics, thought about it for awhile, went "yeah okay makes sense", and offered to help distribute their information. People don't tend to notice trash bots, he was good at getting around quietly, but was eventually captured by Functionalists who had a sense of irony.

They put him through a modified variant of empurata, something experimental at the time. Took his optics out and replaced them with blank, expressionless camera lenses (though with optic lids, still with that glitch), replaced his mouth with what was basically a garbage disposal on steroids, took out his T-cog, even managed to snip out the parts of his coding and processor that dealt with transformation sequences.

Then modded the rest of his frame. Pumped up his nanite production facilities to a ridiculous degree, made him able to digest almost anything.They basically turned him into a living trash disposal slash nanite production factory.

He used to have a fairly heavy frame. Still has the struts for it, but not so much the plating and armor, looks almost emaciated.

Under his chassis armor, on both flanks, he has transparent energon-filled tanks where the excess nanites live. One for repair nanites, one for immune system nanites. His plating is covered in an unusually high number of surface nanites, and he has a couple of vacuum-pumps with attached hoses built into his frame to vacuum the nanites off his armor when a lot of them build up. 

Also, his reproductive system has been retrofitted. His transfluid/reproductive nanite factories now produce transfluid full of repair nanites, and his valve has been altered to essentially milk a spike, drawing in nanites to be modified. He was /intended/ to also be useful as stress relief, but his appearance creeped most people out a bit too much.Fortunately for his mental health, he's... weirdly calm. In his words "yeah, should've expected this. Oh well, works for me. It's a life. I'm useful, nobody messes with me, and I /like/ the valve mod."

He's very firm about people, especially people like him, being treated well by others, but is entirely satisfied with his lot in life. Wasn't the Functionalists screwing with his ability to care, , he's just an incredibly calm little mech. With, uh-

Is it still called pica if the things you're eating are edible?

He eats trash.Broken data-pads, mostly empty energon cubes, and, uhhe'll quite happily drink medical waste.

"oh, yeah, that's a piece of plating we had to replace, too badly singed to-" 

*crunch* "...uh"

None of the medics are sure how much they should encourage him. He's very useful, they agree on that.

And it doesn't hurt him to eat things like that, it's just, well, it's damned creepy, tends to unnerve people a bit. He forgets to care about it. The medics also tend to very strongly suggest that he use an antiseptic mouthwash. 

At this point, there's a lot of other people who have Twitch's nanites in them somewhere after repairs, he's a productive little thing.

And, for someone not unnerved by the fact that he /does/ kinda look both slightly emaciated and seem to have semi-exposed fuel tanks on both sides, he's excellent in berth.Tight valve designed to milk a spike of transfluid and all. Plus the lightweight frame meaning he can be easily moved, a fairly strong frame, and he's usually quite happy with just about everything respectful. His valve has probably been modded to take fairly large spikes, as well. 

The rest of the mods, he's either neutral about or likes them only for their usefulness.The valve mods, he very much enjoys.

Doesn't really miss transforming. His alt was slow in the first place, he never had a strong urge to move, and the Functionalists did their job so thoroughly he doesn't have anything left to miss transforming with. There are the memories, but he could have outrun his own alt, it was basically just a mobile trash can.

Most people would have been fragged all to Pit by what happened, but, no, Twitch is just far too chill to mind very much. His pain tolerance is extraordinarily high, as well, always has been. It takes a massive amount of damage to put him over about a pain level of 3, with 3 being “ow, yeah, I suppose that hurts, but it’s not that hard to ignore, I’m OK”. 

He was a Functionalist tool/pet for awhile, being told over and over how lucky he was that they let him continue to hear, to move, then was rescued/captured/stolen by Decepticons. 

So we have this little guy who’s MTMTE Tailgate's size or smaller, with lenses for optics, a mouth hidden under a mask due to it being /fangs/, sort of an emaciated look around the joints in his limbs and his stomach, two half-visible tanks of energon under the armor at his sides, who absentmindedly picks up and eats trash. And, if upset enough and out of options, will trigger the emergency “ate something toxic” function of his fuel tank and purge whatever medical waste he’s eaten lately on whoever’s attacking him. It’s gross, but effective, considering how strong his stomach acid is. 

He also has a sort of celebrity-crush on Soundwave. Like, "not sure I'd actually want a relationship but you are /hot/ and /awesome/ and I somewhat look up to you". Light fanboying with a side of “same values!!”, basically. 

Weird little guy, but nice enough.

Tips to Select a Service Truck for your Business

Owning a business in the construction and skilled trade industries requires rigid oversight around the current state of your fleet and its direct impact on business efficiency and profit. In a market defined by constant change, all members of a crew rely on vehicles supporting the operation. Specing out the best service/utility truck body, make, and model requires some insights. This guide will give you information to confidently navigate the service body purchasing process and make your next service body truck a sound investment.

What to Expect from a Service Truck

The service body is employed across most construction and skilled trade industries. From specialized trades like electrical, carpentry, plumbing and HVAC, to all-encompassing sectors like general contracting and mobile equipment repair. Countless storage options, steel and aluminum construction, and a wide variety of accessories make the service body suitable for most any trade.

Steel vs Aluminum Service Bodies

When spec’ing an aluminum or steel service body for your business, you need to consider the weight of equipment and supplies to be hauled within the vehicle’s compartments and cargo areas. Drafting a shortlist of gear and assigning an estimated combined weight will give you a better idea of required payload capacity as well as the need for impact-resistant steel or lightweight aluminum.

In short, most body and truck manufacturers producing aluminum beds or chassis combine a strong mix of aluminum and other raw materials to create alloys, maximizing the durability and minimizing the weight of their upfits and chassis respectively. Aluminum-alloys offer benefits such as increased payload capacity and zinc-based corrosion-resistance, resulting in lower maintenance costs and higher resale values when compared to rust-resistance of steel.

Though there are an array of benefits to aluminum alloys, steel is still generally regarded as a cost-effective option for both chassis and body manufacturers alike. Aluminum alloys may be a hot topic, but the strength, density, and impact-resistance provided by steel are qualities unmet by aluminum alloys.

Open-Bed Service Bodies

Put plainly, the open or classic-style service body provides a convenient staging area for crew, tools, and supplies. The open bed supports longer, bulkier materials that wouldn’t fit in a 40” compartment or enclosed service body. Materials like conduit and lengths of builder-grade wood fit right in the bed, easily secured with the tailgate.

The open working area is further supported by a series of individually locking compartments along the sides of the service body providing your team with the organization and security necessary.

Take the Reading Service Body for example. SL Service Bodies are available a variety of sizes, ranging from 98” and 108” bed lengths for single rear-wheel (SRW) vehicles, to 132” bed lengths for dual rear-wheel (DRW) vehicles. In addition, Reading provides ample space for bulky supplies with their 48.5” interior bed width as well as three exterior compartments on either side of the truck bed.

The depth of the compartments will scale with body length, measuring in at a 10” depth for the 98” bed length and 21.5” compartment depth in the 108” and 132” bed lengths. Reading’s compartment doors feature pneumatic struts to keep compartments open during use and offer further protection against the elements with their Dual-Pro mechanical and bubble seal system while closed.

These standard features are all contained with Reading’s stainless steel, double bolted rotary locks, keeping your equipment safe and dry.

Enclosed Service Bodies

Though similar to the open service body with the compartments built into the body, enclosed service bodies offer the additional benefit of a fully contained cargo area in place of an open bed. The added functionality of the cargo area enables your crew to utilize interior shelving units for further organization, secure all tools and supplies within the work vehicle, as well as take advantage of the contained barrier against weather exposure.

The Duramag Aluminum Enclosed Service Body is a prime example of the benefits. Available in standard heights of 53”, 63”, and 74” with interior clearance measuring in at 51”, 61”, and 72” respectively, even the most awkward materials can fit within the cargo area. The aluminum construction of Duramag’s enclosed service body maximizes payload capacity with the largest configuration weighing in at only 772 lbs.

The exterior locking compartments combined with internal shelving units deliver a system worthy of even the pickiest tradesmen, easily supporting a wide variety of interior bin systems. In addition to the increase in organization opportunity, the Duramag enclosed service body also provides a broad space for any mobile advertising efforts with room for logos, contact information, and information regarding your business.

Truck Accessories and Add-On Equipment

Understanding your truck’s required form and function both in choice of body material as well as classic or enclosed service body configuration is a great foundation. It allows you to successfully spec a new service body truck. That said, further knowledge of the available accessories can improve your truck’s performance and enable your crew to do even better work. Below is a list of effective and essential accessories you need to consider when purchasing a service body work truck for your business.

Security on a Service Body

Master Locking System – Provides a single spring-loaded locking rod on either side of the truck bed, triggering all compartment locks with one swift movement. Adds a second layer of security to each compartment lock

Power Locking System – A locking system linked to all locks on the body of the vehicle, enables locking and unlocking of all compartments with the push of a button

Standard Service Body Sliding Roof Cover – Easily collapsible roofing system for open-style service body beds

Service Body Storage

Van Ladder Racks – Ladder racks enable you to max out the utility your crew and your vehicles bring to job sites. For example: Prime Design Ladder Racks.

Aluminum Mechanics Drawers – Convenient, specific storage for smaller tools all in one compartment

Safety and Storage

Headache Racks – A solid metal grid system that keeps loose equipment out of the cab in the event of a hard stop or an accident. For example: Magnum Truck Racks

E-Track and Ratchet Straps – Firmly secures bulkier equipment with a series of ratchet straps and metal connections along the interior walls of a truck bed or cargo area

Selecting and Purchasing your Next Service Body Truck

As a final tip to business owners investing in their next service body truck, it is important to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of both pickup trucks where the bed will be removed and upfitted as well as chassis cab trucks delivered with chassis, cab, and drivetrain. This is important to note because both situations require different installations due to the variations in curved and straight frame rails.

Behind the cabin, pickups tend to have curved frame rails that play a pivotal role in the ride quality and weight distribution of the vehicle (your pickup frame likely has a hump above the rear axle).On the contrary, chassis cab trucks feature straight frame rails of a standardized size that matches the most common upfit equipment produced. Upfit packages are compatible aren't specific to a body manufacturer brand and model.

As mentioned here, the standardized frame rail sizing in chassis cab configurations provides a universal fit acknowledged by a vast majority of upfitters. Keeping this in mind when thinking about replacing a pickup bed--as well as the tips above--will make your negotiation powerful and leave you feeling confident long after the initial purchase.

RANDALL’S LIFE SO FAR.

POSITIVE: Handy, creative, trustworthy. 

NEGATIVE: Traditionalist, secretive, proud. 

** TW COT DEATH, HOMOPHOBIA **

Randall Cash Buckley, Jr. was born on a hot August day in 1991 at his parents’ house in Goss, Mississippi. He was the first born and to this day, still annoys his twin sibling with that fact and the fact that he must have been loved more from the start, because he got their daddy’s first name.

The Buckley’s were dirt poor; they really were. His father helped out on the tree farms whenever he could for minimum wage and his mother worked at the local diner. It simply wasn’t enough to keep the family afloat. His parents were too proud to use food stamps, something young Randall couldn’t understand when they went to sleep hungry - again. He was never one to sit idly by, though and when he was seven, he asked his uncle to teach him how to fish after school. They went down to the river and when he was ten, he simply started to go alone. He had an old bike, a bike trailer he’d begged his other uncle to make him and some rope. That was enough to carry all his fishing supplies. After school, when he could, he went down there to fish and more often than not, he brought home fish for dinner. They weren’t the biggest fish and weren’t always that tasty but they weren’t hungry and in his family, that was rare.

His father got a job at a local lawnmower shop and because of the steady income, they finally managed to have some security. They still got by on a minimum and couldn’t even think of saving money, but at least the days of going to bed hungry and no electricity were behind them. His parents still worked long hours and aside from about an hour in the evening, Randall and his sibling were often left to fend for themselves. It made Randall feel lost and lonely, especially because he really didn’t have friends his own age. He was quite a shy child and always looked shabby in his hand me downs and dirty shoes. He really didn’t have anyone aside from his uncles to hang out with.

That changed when Randall was twelve. An elderly man named Billy moved to the town with his bloodhound, Ed. He took Randall under his wing and paid him a few dollars to do little jobs around the house, which Randall saved in case one day, he really needed them. Growing up the way he did, taught him not to waste his money on things such as candy and toys, which other children did do. The old man often carved wood as Randall was fixing and cleaning things around his house. Randall was simply fascinated by it. When Billy asked him if he wanted to learn how to do it, Randall happily said yes.

That is where Randall’s love for wood started. He first learned how to carve and later, the older man taught him how to make furniture as well as widow and door frames. Randall had never really known what would come of him as he wasn’t very good at school work nor at sports but this was something he was good at, working with his hands and using wood to make useful and beautiful things.

At 15, his life was turned upside down. A new boy moved to town to live with his aunt, after his parents had passed away. He was an African-American guy named Caleb and Randall felt things for him he had never felt before. They were fishing buddies at first, as they discovered they both liked to do that, but Caleb wasn’t just a friend. Once they were by the river side, they were more than friendly. Maybe even flirty. Randall couldn’t keep his eyes off the gorgeous other boy’s flawless dark skin, pearl white teeth and beautiful dark eyes. There were many nights when he couldn’t sleep and thought of Caleb in ways no man should, at least in the eyes of God and his parents. He felt ashamed and distanced himself from Caleb, he simply couldn’t be gay, not in this town. To this day, he regrets not kissing Caleb back when the guy tried to show him what Randall meant to him. He just pushed him away, wiped his mouth and called him a fag. The hurt he saw in his friends face broke his heart. He told the other guy that he was disgusting and walked back towards his bike. He cried until he reached town.

It took him months to emotionally recover from that and it was hard seeing Caleb now hanging out with another guy, named Marcus. They were found out to be gay and bullied by all neighborhood kids and even some adults. Randall didn’t stand up for his old friend, in fear of being grouped in with him and his boyfriend. He was disgusted with himself, not only for what he felt but because he was such a coward.

Randall met Dixie when he was sixteen and developed feelings for her. It was such a relief. This meant he wasn’t gay, that he was normal and that all would be okay. She was a beautiful girl with red hair and brown eyes. They were high school sweethearts and he didn’t have eyes for any girl other than her. When he was 18, he bought a ring with half of the money he’d saved up from working for Billy and proposed to her. She said yes and he had never been happier.

He started two years of vocational training to become a carpenter, which he finished at the top of his class. Two weeks after graduation, when he was a month shy of turning 21, they got married at the local Baptist church. He wore borrowed clothes, as did she but they didn’t mind. The clothes didn’t matter, their love did.

He got a job as an assistant carpenter in town and while it didn’t make too much money, it covered half the bills they had to pay at her parents’ house where they were living and they could save Dixie’s paycheck in full. She made quite a bit working as a secretary at a local business.

Ten months after their wedding, their little girl was born and they named her Magnolia Lou. She had red hair just like her mother. Randall felt pride he hadn’t felt before. He just strutted around town, telling anyone who wanted to hear (and even those who didn’t) that he was a father of the most beautiful little girl in the world.

He was a father for four months. Then he found his daughter with a blue face. Cot death, they told him. It wasn’t his fault, they said but that was his daughter, his little girl. It was his responsibility to keep her safe and he hadn’t. He had failed as a father and a man.

He was 24 when he got divorced from Dixie, another failure but one he knew that he had created himself. He was inconsolable and lashed out at Dixie over everything. When he went for the bottle to drown his sorrows, she decided that enough was enough and filed for divorce. He didn’t fight it. He just signed whatever he had to sign and moved back to his parents’ house. People around town were sympathetic and he hated it. Everyone knew his story, everyone knew about his failures and he felt suffocated. He needed to get away.

He went to a local internet cafe to look for a job that suited him and had decent pay. He finally found an opening at Tailgate Carpentry & Home Repair in Boston. He applied and after a Skype call in which he showed some of his own work, he got hired.

He found King’s Terrace and when he saw there was an option to have a roommate he decided he wouldn’t mind living there. He needed a roommate to be able to split the costs and he wasn’t really able to move there and pay rent by himself until he found one. Here he’d be matched to someone, which was a lot easier. He hopes he’ll have someone he can stand rooming with him and if he doesn’t, well, then he’ll just lock himself in his room. He doesn’t really mind. It isn’t as if he’s here to make any friends. He is running away from something, not towards anything. He just wants to earn a living and other than that, he really has no idea what he’s doing with his life. He’ll figure it out… hopefully.

SOCIAL NETWORKING.

@buckleyinboston: Nothing better than some Conway Twitty and a cold one

@buckleyinboston: Don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the northern accent.

@buckleyinboston: At least I can still go fishing in this city. Buildings as a backdrop, but I guess we all gotta compromise.

OUT OF CHARACTER.

OOC: Silver, 19, GMT+2, they/them. 

SHIPS: Chemistry.

ANTI-SHIPS: No chemistry.

Mopar Monday: The Ultimate $5K Mopar Challenge

For many collectors without a trust-fund budget, locating and buying an entry-level collector car takes one to the obvious places; eBay, Craigslist, Bring-A-Trailer, Barn Finds, local classifieds, even to the first day of well-known collector car auctions like Mecum. There it’s not unusual to find true bargains for under $10,000, and in some rare instances, under $5,000. But there are other, less obvious places, often hiding in plain sight, apps like Nextdoor, Offer-up, and Letgo that run on your computer or smartphone. But the best might be a social media platform that you might not think about looking for Mopars… the rapidly growing Facebook Marketplace.

Two weeks ago I was talking with my friend and co-author of our 2012 book, Hurst Equipped, Mark Fletcher, that I wanted to buy a rear-wheel drive, second-generation 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. As I said this, we were eating breakfast at our local Denny’s when he handed me his iPhone across the table. There, on our locally-oriented, Lake Elsinore, California, Facebook Marketplace, was a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was a six-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive model that had been posted just 20 minutes earlier, 65 minutes away in San Diego. “You really should take a look at this. We could drive down and take a look at it.” Mark connected with the seller through Facebook Messenger, and after overcoming a language barrier (we speak English, the seller Spanish) we headed down to San Diego to check out the Jeep with me stopping along the way at the bank to withdraw exactly $2,000. The seller had listed the Grand Cherokee for $2,200.

We met up with the seller at a Hispanic supermarket parking lot on the east side of San Diego near where he worked. Mark communicated with the seller through the translate function on his iPhone while I checked out and test drove the Jeep. It appeared solid, drove well, and with the exception of the struts holding up the tailgate window, everything worked, including the A/C. Equipped with the nearly indestructible 4-liter, AMC-derived, fuel-injected six (much preferred over the 4.7-liter V-8 in my opinion), the Grand Cherokee didn’t look or drive like it had the indicated 139,000 miles on the odometer. It looked more like a five-year-old, 50,000-mile example. It was obvious to both of us that it had been well-maintained over the past 20 years and my inspection showed that it had benefited from new Hankook tires, front and rear brakes, and front and rear shocks. Typical of a Southern California car that probably live most of its life here, it was rust-free. I offered $1,800, the seller countered with $2,000, and less than two hours after Mark first spotted the Grand Cherokee on Facebook, we were heading north on Interstate 15, me behind the wheel of my “new” Grand Cherokee.

On the way home, Mark driving his $1,800, 2005 Ford Crown Victoria (that he had purchased this past spring with just 50,000 miles), we were talking over the phone, about replicating a similar purchase, with a more generous budget, say $5,000, and focus on a specific marque. Finally, we settled in on a quest and challenge to find the best $5,000 Mopar.

The next day I spoke with Mopar Muscle editor Bob Mehlhoff about fleshing out the idea into a web feature and possible series. I knew that using Facebook Marketplace – in addition to other search engines – I could go back to the 1950s, finding clean Mopars that appear frequently but might be otherwise overlooked. Most would be project cars far from the condition of my Grand Cherokee while others would be front-wheel-drive cars from the 1980s and 1990s (which Bob suggested strongly to avoid), scanning the Facebook Marketplace, several good prospects immediately appeared. Many were unloved but presentable plain-Jane four-door sedans and a few station wagons – most with the bulletproof Slant-6 under the hood. Then this car appeared, a 1981 Dodge Mirada two-door hardtop.

From the photos, it truly ticked off all the boxes. First, it looked exceptionally clean, having obviously benefited from a through detailing (more on that later), it was rear-wheel-drive, it was a sporty two-door model, and best of all, it was a V-8. The only sticking point was the listing price was $5,800, above my $5,000 preset. Still, I messaged the seller to take a look. Next, I called Mark, who is my guru on $5,000 cars (and who initially declined to go because he was afraid he might buy it) to go take a look. Finally we headed up to Bloomington, California – about an hour north in my Jeep – to take a look at the car as the possible feature subject to launch this series. To say the car exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. I’ll let Mark explain.

Rich’s goal of the possibility of a recurring series would be to find cars presentable enough to take the family to the local cruise night in comfort with out worrying about a breakdown. Something obscure but in remarkable condition for its age. This 1981 Dodge Mirada fit the bill perfectly. It was a common car back in the early 1980s (although not nearly as good a seller as its platform mate, the Chrysler Cordoba) that has become obscure over time.

This example was a beautiful car when new. White exterior with what appeared to be original paint that had been professionally brought back to life by the detail shop that has the car for sale.

The 318 4bbl V8 engine fired up with the first turn of the key with the sound of a throaty exhaust (not stock). The car’s interior showed almost like new with the heavily padded white bucket seats, contrasted by red dash, carpet, and matching red center console. The small three spoke steering wheel reminded me of the “Tuff” wheel option of the 1970s E-Bodies. Although the drivers door panel showed a little age, the rest of the interior presented exceptionally well if not a little “Liberace” in overall appearance. Cars from this era were typically unable to display mileage in access of 100,000 miles but I have found that the interior is always a good indication of a true low-mileage car that has been garaged.

Living in the southwest, we are less vulnerable to the tin worm, so it was no surprise to find that the Mirada appeared to be free of any rust or dents. It does have a few paint chips and scratches to the original paint, but nothing that couldn’t be touched up for a few hundred dollars at the local paint shop. Most car manufacturers of the 1980s were meeting the five-MPH bumper mandates by utilizing chrome bumpers with shock absorbers to absorb the impact. The space between the bumpers and body panels were covered with a flexible plastic panel and these deteriorate in the hot sun. This car has fallen to this fate and replacement components will be hard to locate. The broken pieces are in the trunk and this filler panel could be repaired using fiberglass.

The car appears to run and drive well, but don’t expect to win any quarter-mile competitions with this Chrysler lean-burn 318 V-8. The seller replaced the original radiator with an aftermarket aluminum unit and the car recently passed the stringent California smog test with the original-style catalytic converter. The seller has since removed the stock exhaust in favor of a NASCAR-style side exhaust, similar to that found on the Richard Petty’s factory-backed Mirada campaigned in the early 1980s. The original exhaust will be included with the car in case it needs to pass an annual smog by the new owner if it remains in a smog-compliant state.

We were unable to drive the car any distance due to the lack of plates on the car, but by all appearances this is a car that will take little effort to become a dependable local cruise-in participant. I believe the Mirada will command a respectable crowd wherever you take it. Unlike the similar appearance of today’s family sedans, this car is striking and will stand out in a sea of Camaros and Mustangs at the local Cars and Coffee. The options on this mid-size coupe will make for comfortable drives. It is equipped with factory A/C, power steering and power front disc brakes, tilt wheel, cruise control, and power windows. This was considered a sporty personal luxury car of its era. The back seat is big enough for two car seats or three small adults.

Someone, please buy this car as I am tempted to add it to my eclectic stable of cars.

Here is a link to the listing for the car where you can contact the seller, Geraldo Castaneda, for more details (He’s lowered the price from the original listing price of $5,800, no low-ballers need not apply). The car is in our opinion, worth the new, lower, $5,000 price. My thoughts are that given the overall condition of this car, especially it being rust-free, that it would be well-worth the transport cost, to acquire this car. If you live in a cold-weather location, you’ll have all winter to ready it for its first appearance in the Spring.

If you miss out on this car, here are a few more Mopars to consider, from 1955 all the way through to 1998. If the listing is over $5,000, like the 1965 Dodge Monaco below, negotiate!

From the 1950s, this 1955 Chrysler Imperial sedan (with Hemi) for $4,500 in West Palm Beach, Florida (Craigslist) From the 1960s, this 1965 Dodge Monaco hardtop for $5,500 in Thompson Falls, Idaho (Craigslist) From the 1970s, this 1970 Plymouth Fury III hardtop for $4,500 in Terre Haute, Indiana (Craigslist) From the 1980s, this 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue sedan for $4,500 in Greneda, Mississppi (Facebook) From the 1990s, this 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited SUV for $4,500 in Escondido, California (Facebook)

As always, when buying a car sight unseen, consider getting a third-party apprasial, just like you would for any big-ticket, online purchase. It’s $200-$300 well spent. Most of all, do proper due diligence. Engage the seller, ask them to provide additional photos and a video walkaround if possible.

Finally, to make this series a success, to be the go-to place on the Internet to find exceptional budget Mopars, cars that will make for someone’s perfect entry-level collector car, we need your help, your tips.

We know they are out there, many hiding in plain sight, some stored in a garage, under a carport, in a parking structure, behind a gas station, on used car lots, even in actual barns, often listed on your own Facebook Marketpace or local Craigslist. Find something interesting, send me a tip at Mopar5000Challenge@gmail.com.

To be considered for the Mopar $5K Challenge, the vehicle submitted must run, have a clear, transferable title, and look presentable; no engine-out project cars. Send us a link to the car’s listing. If selected, we’ll contact the owner for suitable photos, possibly a video walk around like Mark shot of me for the Mirada (I mistakenly said it was a 360, it actually is a 318 car, the 360 was only offered on a limited number of 1980 Miradas).

While for this series we prefer traditional Mopar cars and trucks (rear-wheel-drive Chryslers, Dodges, and Plymouths), we will consider exceptional front-wheel-drive Mopars as well as cars from predecessor companies like like AMC and non-Chrysler-built Willys and Kaiser Jeeps. Also considered will be vehicles that used Chrysler drivetrains in conversion vans and motorhomes. (We’ve already uncovered several Dodge-powered Travco and Winnebago motorhomes in our searches, similar to this 1968 model, under our $5,000 limit, found on the Travco Wikipedia page.)

While we would love to feature more cars like this exceptional Mirada which we evaluated in-person, we recognize they are rare. But they are out there, you just need to know where to look, even if it is outside the box.

Happy Hunting!
