Congrats Paul :cheers: Sounds like you are getting it all worked out.... What are you going to do with your white one now? Giving that one to the wife? Selling it?

The ideal plan is to drop Sin's off at ACC, let them work on it for as long as they want (months even), and when it is ready to go, switch vehicles and put the white one up for sale to recoup repair expenses.

The wife is taken care of, we got her a GX470!

Update...Just got the OK from the wifey. Looks like my best option is to purchase the $5k package and have it shipped. I got a quote for $650 on line with most offers ranging from $750 - $1000. I am waiting on having a few more questions about the truck answered by Sin and if those check out, it is a done deal. I am also trying to get a hold of ACC to see if I can have it shipped there.

Suggestion: give it to Slee to do maintence/square it up, fly out on a Friday night and road trip home. The air fare and gas would probably be cheaper than having it shipped, and a lot more fun. If you have a few extra coin, take the :princess: too and get her warmed up to it and have a fun trip home and a mini second honey moon or something.:hhmm:

Worked it out last night and shipping is WAY cheaper. Plus, a 2.5 day driving trip is time that could be spent teaching my 5 month-old Ultimate Fighting.

Re: Slee...We have a great Cruiser shop (ACC) 5 miles form me and I'd prefer to spend my $ on local businesses. (No offense Slee)

Shipping also has less surprises for the one who would be driving.

Good on ya mate! I'm glad it's all working out for ya!
And I had my daughter in martial arts for 7 years, made it up to black belt, just didn't test for it (me too in fact, but my wife did get her black belt. Needless to say, I do what she says ;)). Do it for real when your kid gets old enough.
 
So I should start talking about painting my Hundy , Dun Beige .... Then someone on here is going to pop up and want to sell me a built one with ARB lockers, slee rear + more for a great deal.

come on , someone step up.
 
While we're at it...

I have a BLACK 2000 LC with new tires and all-black trim (no grey). I recently (just now) decided that I no longer like Black and I want... oh, let's see... Thundercloud Metallic. I want to PAINT my truck that color. :wink-wink:

(waiting on offers to be thrown at me for BUILT TCM LC's @ $5k... still waiting.... don't worry, I'm patient... )

:D

You are trading a stock 100 for a kick-ass highly modified 100 and then trading all the cool s*** off said kick-ass 100?

Dude.

Wrong. I am buying the built hundy, having it shipped to ACC. They will give it a once-over. I will them have the body fixed and paint redone. I will prob trade to a more street friendly tire.

Finally, I will sell my near stock white LC to recoup repair costs.

Ohhhh, and you have bumpers and an 04 too. P.e.r.f.e.c.t.

Want a 2000 as partial trade? I could PC a custom front bumper and put it on there as icing on the cake. Oh, and all the stock flares have been scrapped and the rest of the trim painted black. It has 18" gray wheels w/ brand new 33's, and some good tunes. :D

Hop in your truck and meet me half way - like Kansas or so. :D

Haha, that sounds like a deal but the thunder cloud has grown on me
 
I think Sin is having a party weekend. I haven't got replies to my PMs yet. Waiting sucks!

(EDIT):

Just got a PM from Sin addressing my questions. Next step is for Sin to send me some good quality pics of the interior and the body and we should have this thing on a car carrier within a few days.

If the interior is looking a little shaby, check out the thread I just doug out about new leather the insides.
