The good things:
1) the truck is very well done and simply could use a nice front bumper.
2) $10K+ in mods easy
3) lots of extra parts
4) CA truck
5) wheels great, non smoker, very plush ride.
6) Everything works aside from the antennae mast
7) 130mph+ top speed.... hell I had to try it at least once. That was plenty fast on 33's.
8) 3rd row seats bagged and stored in perfect condition (included)

The bad things:
1) I removed the front bug guard from the hood and there was rubbing where it rested/vibrated. Still have the guard to reinstall.
2) antennae mast doesn't go up/down
3) Spare is a 35" MTR
4) a couple very very light scratches on the doors from brush that have "kissed" the clear coat. I'm sure with a buffer I can get all of these out which I'll do next week. You can't even see them unless you look at them in the right light. Very very faint.
5) Crappy powdercoat on the rear bumper is being bubbled by minor rust. Some surface rust on the suspension/diff parts. Little bit of surface rust on the scratches on the sliders. I pressure washed all this stuff and then it ended up surface rusting a teeny bit after leaving the truck out at my friends house near the beach for a couple months. It is very minimal and looks worse in the pics.
6) Front bumper bashed up. Either use the other one I have (I'll paint it to match) or put on a Slee shortbus bumper (this was my plan)
7) No caster correction up front performed. I have the bushings if you want to press them in. Never bothered me.
