Notes:
1. Purchased bare TC goods from Metaltech, and they powder coated black.
2. Bushings were replaced, as were the wheel bearings and brakes around 15k ago.
3. At the same time as the above, bought new OE axles, separated the CVs and swapped to Total Chaos shafts.
Bad
1. Powder coating sucks in OK. Enough said.
2. Obligatory hole in drivers seat.
3. Front Exp One to BudBuilt transition is incomplete, or not structurally sound.
4. Tires are shot. They were dynamically balanced, which was an epic error.
5. Ipod integration for Rosen is older generation. Bluetooth works.
6. Race car parts make race car noises.
7. Dirty, at the moment.
8. **Most important**
Spod loosened where it attaches to firewall, unbeknownst to me. It flopped and tore metal where it attached. Can be an easy fix, or can be difficult and costly.
9. Typical wear
10. Winch disconnect failed, was removed and new battery is top post Vatozone special.
11. Tire carrier flipped, so rear glass is inoperable.
12. Small windshield chips, all typical of driving a vehicle with the aerodynamic characteristics of a box.
Story:
Purchased with intentions of building it the way Toyota should have, but upgraded suspension a few times, maintaining IFS.
Wheeled with other FJCs at a few events and the extent of anything, far from hardcore, substantiated by the lack of any evidence on Budbuilts.
Bought the dearly departed LX that maintained wheeling duties.
Really spent the majority of it's time with me as a daily that I used for work travels when the F350 was in the shop, which was/is all the damn time.
Been stored since I bought the Poverty Pack 80, only occasional trips here and there.
Punt price....lemme explain.
To re-tire on the TRs is $2.5-3k with the same KM2s. The combo is heavy and, quite frankly, there's no benefit to the bead locks on this platform.
I don't want to buy cheapies, since it's be a futile investment and wind up in someone else's for sale ad.
I don't have time for energy for CL or ebay.
I was going to store for my daughter, but she doesn't like and that's well over a year away, plus I have plenty of inventory of other vehicles.
One has to go....because another is on its way.
Punt price $25k.
If I'm going to invest any time or money, then I'll re-price accordingly, but, right now, I'm looking for an easy deal, in and out, no hassle.
In Tulsa, OK, so fly in and drive home, after a trip to tire store, or I'll gladly suggest/meet a shipper.
Prepping to market, but hoping for a quick deal.
