bummer

Is that a cummins 4BT? That sucks.

I'll keep an eye on the parts board here, ebay, craigslist, etc.

Can you post pictures?

As a side note: that's got to be a killer setup.

BTW, assuming this truck gets found, it would be really beneficial to find out how they broke in and how they got it started/moved so that the rest of us here can combat it.

That sux man.....surely this is just a coincidence here, most likely its the unfortunate legit owner, but wanted to make sure this was seen. If the original owner is not in la honda then maybe a lead by contacting the poster. I know its only like 15 miles out but crooks are dumb.

thanks for the help... unfortunately... that's where the owner lives. La Honda. So, that would have been before it got stolen. Same truck, though.

oh

what a horrible way to start the day

To all in the Bay Area: there is *no* way that a cruiserhead can drive by this truck and not notice it. It looks fantastic and is really, really LOUD at idle. The big C on the side is good identifying feature.

Sure do hope they catch the culprit.

Be sure to cross post to as many forums as you can think of (if you havent already), and local chapters as well. A ttora member had some high end shocks stolen and mysteriously appeared on his doorstep after exhaustive online and event presence making the issue known. Best of luck to your friend.

Got my eyes on in the San Fernando Valley. This thing, being diesel, could easily be making its way to Mexico...and could already be there by now.

Hmm I would venture to guess that it might be too tall for a shipping container unless they change out the tires and remove the rack. I'm not 100% on that though so take with a grain of salt

Need the homies from Oaktown south to Union City/Newark to be keeping their eyes peeled. 9x out of 10 that's where all these rigs turn up, stripped to the frame.

Sucks - it's a sweet rig with a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and dollars into it by the looks of it!

Sorry to hear about that, awesome rig to lose. I've always said Cali needs more guns, in the hands of the law abiding populace though.
