**Sold***
As hard as this is for me, I think it is time for me to move on and get this vehicle into someones hands who is willing to appreciate it and use it for what I built it for.
There is NO RUST on this vehicle.
I bought this Thanksgiving 2008, tore it down to a bare frame. Spent 3 years rebuilding it. Drove and wheeled it from 2011 to the end of 2013. I just got this driving about 1 month ago. The passion is not there for me any more so It's time for it to go to a new home.

The Bad:
-Couple Oil leaks
-SM420 Front - Typical leak due to design flaw. Not bad but I'm anal about leaks so I think it's worth mentioning
- T-Case - I believe it's just the copper washer on the drain plug, I just don't have much free time to do a gear oil change on it.
-Needs new driver side tail light lens.- T-Case - I believe it's just the copper washer on the drain plug, I just don't have much free time to do a gear oil change on it.
