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.

80 series spotted in La Honda, Ca...Mud member?

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.
