I wouldn't get a sticker unless I replaced the rocker panels on both sides. I had 3 wks before sticker was due and it was winter. Cab mounts were going to go next and the the receiver hitch was rusting away in sheets. I remember towing my family 222 aquasport thru downtown Peabody in a hurricaine and having the hitch come off the frame of the family wagon back when I was 17 YO. Made for a fun afternoon. Monsoon rains, a boat trailer tongue scaping across the intersection on the safety chains and then waiting a couple hours for a friend to come and tow the boat home with a pickup. Only thing that could have topped that would be for the whole thing to happen on the highway at 65 mph. I think you're headed in the right direction. It's just hard to get out there and go for it. Too much $$, the unknown of a used vehicle, and used car salesmen.
