To be honest, $50 - $100 is a good amount to be PAID for a junk car or truck, because the price of scrap iron is WAY up now!!!
A few years ago, you would have had to pay $50 - $100 to have a junk yard take the truck!!!

Cheferson, empty your pm's.

emptied pms. He said i needed a rebuilt transmission(whole unit) , called tatco, said $1800 + tax and fluids so 2K. Cant get it fixed till friday the 20th either. Could i just bypass the transfer case and have 2 wheel drive?

Not without major modifications...You need 2wd tranny,shaft,maybe mounts..etc..

Is it worth putting 2K into it for a new trans with it having 120,000 miles?

Average retail Blue Book value is $4800.00.
Since it has a few other problems and body damage it is worth alot less than that, so $2000 is a lot to dump into it...IMO
