Need Advise (1 Viewer)

[Mr.William]

Afternoon all,

Need some opinions and advise for a truck I'm about to purchase. I'm looking at this http://www.jdmconnection.ca/STOCK9101.html

Problem being is that I know next to nothing about modified trucks like this and wanted to know if this looks like a good quality modified truck ? Or does it looked scabbed together ?

I'm having an insection done ( over the telephone ) this week and wanted to know if there are specific questions I should be asking ?

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

for 19K, I would want it to be a lot nicer.

Wiring looks a bit on the hack side.

When did Dick Cepek actually stop making shocks? The Rox Shock sticker is off of a mountain bike..

If you plan on driving it off road, it will
a. Snap an axle easily..
b. Ride like a bucking bronco (most likely)

I do like the pumpkin mounted rear shocks tho

Cosmetic comments: No rear bumper (legal in Canada?) The side steps are cheese. Doesn't look too safe, based on height vs. width.

This is an "old school" Harry Highrider, you'd be buying some other persons choice of accessories, which would not be doing much more that having you look clean on the street (in the eyes of the uneducated public). The truck has alot of WOW value, but not much off roadability.

(a) Ranchos are not a plus
(b) Super Trapps are loud as h---
(c) Rear shackles are a joke
(d) Roll bar went out of style 10, or was it 15 years ago???

MONSTER POS IMO....I don't even know where else to begin to comment on that....that...thing....

That truck is worth maybe 4k, mostly for the motor. The rest of the build is a hack job even for a "show" truck anywhere except Japan. This type of build seems to be very popular in Japan based on the pictures I have seen over the years.

Arctic Trucks is looking at that and shaking there heads!


shackle location is unrealistic....vehicle's absurdly added to like that make me question its maintenance and wear, could have been a street cruiser?...could have been some ADD, x-box'd, 16 y.o's whipping post/ beast of burden. I'm betting the latter.



Need advise? walk away!.......run!........20 grand!?! geeez!



Needs some KC Daylighters!

dont do it ,2.8 3l engine would be working hard to move that mall cruiser

*insert barf smiley here* that poor poor toyota someone has ruined it!! Seriously unless you're up for a whole hell of a lot of headaches trying to fix what the last owner f**ked up, RUN!

yep... this is pretty trick:

and this:

J/K stay far far far from this... especially at that price.

At least he know the rule about using blocks. They must be at least 8 inches tall and unnecessary.
