The bad:

1. You’ve heard of a ‘good 20 foot truck’? You know, a truck that looks good from 20’ away? Well, this is a good 5’ truck. Maybe a good 3’ truck. It’s seen trails and even though it’s well detailed, I’m not going to blast through the clear coat to get rid of the pinstripes. They’re still visible when you’re up close. There are a few minor dings, but nothing major. The worst is on the upper tailgate from when I shut the swingarm with the gate partially open (never see it with the gate closed). Bug honestly, this truck is probably in better fit/finish than 90% of the mall trucks out there. I take care of my fleet.
2. Ever since gearing to 4.88s the truck has had a bit of a vibration between 52 and 62. I’ve tuned most of it out with pinion angle and a new drive shaft. It’s been to driveline shops and there’s absolutely nothing mechanically wrong. 4.30s are included if you’d like to change back. The 100s are sensitive to vibration.
3. The front is slightly loose. It might be steering rack, it might be LCA ball joints. It’s not bad enough to replace yet, but it’s on the horizon.
4. The o-ring on the rear locker is finicky. If it’s warm and covered with fluid it’s air tight. Cold and it can take a couple throws of the switch to seat the locker. Again, not worth fixing simply full disclosure.

All that work, those part, the memories...

 

[OregonLC]

It’s been a great ride Nick, but it’s time for the next adventure! The 200 will be a bit more mild build... and a DD.

 

[Warde]

Damn this is beautiful. Best color

 

[Kmonty66]

Outstanding! GLWS.

 

[gearguywb]

Great looking truck!

 

[hamishpotter]

Outstanding. So well sorted and I love that color. GLWS. Wish I was in the mkt, going to fwd to my brother in Detroit to tempt him..

 

[OregonLC]

If only they made the 200 in Desert Bronze Metallic. It is a fantastic color! The only other brown I’ve ever liked was on the early 911s.

 

[fireball]

Nice truck. Great price. Anyone who wants a well built truck should buy this and save a ton of money over doing this yourself!!

 

[JToobe]

Unbelievable....so badly want but just not the right time!

 

[Igoteyedeas]

This truck is absolute perfection. One question though: how the heck did you keep your steering wheel so fresh? Is that a re-wrap?

 

[OregonLC]

I wash my hands! Lol. Not a re-wrap, all OE.

 

[Igoteyedeas]

I wash my hands! Lol. Not a re-wrap, all OE.

Good on you! Bought my truck with the wheel already falling apart and searching for something that looks OE.

GLWS!

I was considering going with one of the ebay wheels with the oversized grip and fresh leather, but mine was in good condition and it never made it high enough on the priority list.
