Thanks for the dose of info and reality. Probably going to pass unless the deal is just too good. As always thanks Mud. Hope to be back in a cruiser soon but won't rush it.
Great points.
1. I moved to Hawaii where thus truck is. Need to update my location. Hawaii still = ocean so your point remains.
2. Yes he installed a 94 grill. I actually prefer the 94 grill but that's just me.
3. Has flares you can put back on.
Just checking what you would offer for a 96 with 129k miles, very little surface rust underneath, and oxidized paint. It has a 3-link but "doesn't feel stable at highway speeds" due to body sway. Interior is decent.
I wouldn't be able to fix whatever is wrong with the suspension geometry so it...
Potential purchase. I have a video on fb messenger from the seller. Can't figure out how to post it. If you're willing listen, hit me up and I'll PM to you.
Since it's already been asked twice, I'll clear up that my asking price has not changed. But pay 8500 and you can have a brand new set of WKOR sliders I have here along with the truck.
Back up for sale. Just found out this week I'll be leaving for Hawaii this summer so only the Tundra will come with me.
I am now located in Newport, Rhode Island. Mileage is at 250,000 now. Still runs as smooth as ever. New mods include:
Wheels
Tires (90% tread)
ARB bumper
New woodgrain...
Sell the cruiser. Save from now til 16, fly south with pops and buy a rust free version. Take a trip home together, rust proof the hell out of it, and enjoy it.
That's what I'd do if I were you with what appear to be parents like mine....generous as hell and willing to do/support something...
I was as wel at first glance but based on the description, @jerryb 's rig was probably pitched nose down from the hard braking, putting the dissent squarely in line with the tow hitch crossmember. The vertical support of the dissent bull bar put that crease in the jeeps bumper. The main shell...
Simple things to check: brake components(retainer pins backed out), loose lug nuts (not kidding), rocks caught in tread or in brake hardware itself.
Dont forget to check back in if you solve it.
Get that fixed. But you deserve way more money. In no way shape or form would I accept that offer.
Side note, I'd do what @Kofoed did and fix part of the list from a cosmetic perspective and use the rest of the check to pay for more upgrades.
