About the truck:
Built from a cab/frame into a hardcore rock crawler that is still street legal and can carry you to the trail on the highway. This truck has ran nearly all the 4 rated trails at Superlift in Hot Springs and Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer, Tx (and some of the 5 rated trails too!).
My future plans were:
Hydro assist
New 37” tires (current ones don’t balance well and wobble some)
Shave the axle housings and remove the drain plugs.
Tube doors or half doors
22R short block combined with my 20R head. Plus my EFI setup and a new performance camshaft. (can include shortblock core to rebuild for full asking price)
