Do you know the owner personally? All the rebuilt stuff kinda makes me wonder. I really don't think 7k is a bad price for a built truck, the ARB by itself is 1k. Do a little research on the pricing of all the parts plus the price of a truck like it and see what you come up with. Just remember that it will never be worth the money that has been invested. HTH
Oh, and make sure it is what they say it is.

I'd also take it for a drive. The auto behind the v6 is notorious for robbing power and even with 5.29s, it may struggle on the bottom end with those 37s.

Agreed 7k sounds high, but I'm pretty sure if the work was done properly, you could add up parts and you'll be getting the truck nearly for free. As stated above arb is around a grand installed, Detroit is gonna run about 700+ installed, trail gear SAS installed about a grand, and on and on..

If you could offer 5k cash and see what he says. Main thing is what do you want it for? And if your intent is to wheel it, then you better get ready to meet a steep learning curve with your mechanical skills or get ready to shell out some serious $$ every time you need work done on it after a wheeling trip.

And if you want to wheel it, you could find something much less expensive and less "built" and let your mechanical skills and the truck grow as you go along.

Also I use a site like photobucket to host pics and then just copy the URL into your reply. I think you can post directly to the forum, but I have never tried that.

Good luck,

Tucker
