eBay Most awesome 40 for sale ever

OK its mine.

Time to let 'er go to make some room for another project. I dont even want to think of what I spent on it much less how much I'll loose even if I get the reserve of 15k.

Hey Thanks everyone, I've been preoccupied by work for the last week or so!! Yes, I'm know how lucky I am, as for a sister, she has one but her sister is as opposite as possible.... a girlie girl, ew mud! lol Whereas my wife has been the tough ass tomboy if you will... lol

For now the plans are to get a ARB bumper and fender guards, a new big ass winch, (good one about the Jeeps!) lol and the wife wants more handles to pull herself up and hold on to.... Also I need to get her another set of rims to put snow tires on, it's not nice to drive with mudders on snow.

And the list goes on..... lol

Welcome Carl!
The fact that it went to a good home makes it a little less painful.

Although I did my best to make sure things were done right, I'm bracing for the obligitory cursing out of the previous owner post in the not so near future...... JK.....I aint scared ;p she'll be fine.

Good Luck!

Looks like it's back on the block. I'd buy it back if it weren't so far away.

Hey Jeff! Thanks for putting this up for me!!! lol I was just getting around to it.... Hopefully it will pass by my reserve and all. My wife, who I bought it for could just never get compfortable with a manual tranny, and I never did convert it to an automatic, so 600 miles or so later we are letting it go! You did a great restore on it for sure. I have flushed the tank, put on a new fuel filter, rebuilt the carb (not needed) and replaced the electronic ECM for $63... of an we added about $600 of brush guards, bumperettes, rear lens protectors and such....
Anyway thanks!

Was this 40 originally mustard? Is there a resto thread for it somewhere?

mudmud, There is now an Alaskan Cruisers section of this website where you could also post this up for us locals, in case the ebay adventure doesn't work out. Nice looking truck.

I started the build thread after most of the heavy work was done but it's here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/almost-there-my-built-thread.243735/ ......doing a search of my username in the tech section will show most of the battles separately.


No problem posting up here for you Carl. Talking with you the other day got me all nostalgic. Good luck with the sale. I've got to say knowing what I spent on that rig your "buy it now" is a heck of a deal.
