I spent five years, off and on, building this thing because I did it right. I did the research: went to the library, read the mags and talked to the guys at the shops each time I got stuck. This was before the Internet, so good research took a bit longer. Ask Marlin from Fresno about this rig; he knows I built it right!

I left Tim TJs posts cause they have a little tiny bit of bearing on the sale. Keep it For Sale oriented in this section folks. Link to this thread from Chat and chat away.
 
Whatever you call it $6K looks like a good deal.
 
i think you might want to tone down the description a little. "rock crawler", "rare 327" and so on make you sound like a used car sales guy.

not trying to bag on you, just constructive critizism.;)
 
Fisherman and Hunters

I'd like to sell it, but reading this web site every couple of days is really tempting me to just keep it. It's a real crime having it parked in the garage here in the city all of the time when I know someone could be taking it up fishing every weekend!
 
Tim clean out your pm's

thanks Ian
