Before you threw down 15k, I think you should go see it in person and drive it.

 

[Tapage]

damn .. that's a huge toy ..

IMOP .. there is a barrier in 42" - 44" when yout toy with bigger than that are not as nice and funny to drive as it should be ..

just IMOP based on my experience ..

Thought all depends on the kind of places and off road that you like go and do ..

def try to drive it before you plunk down any cash..

one links are a bit on the quirky side..

And, 15K is a bit on the expensive side as well..

Oh trust me I will NOT pay 15k!!!

And I will def drive it first!


What do you guys think would be a GOOD price??????

Please don't hold back!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you did all the work it would be hard to build for less than 12-13k

I would say that if it is well made, drives pretty good and is still in good shape.

It would be worth 11k-12k

Thanks smtyblt, that's about what I was thinking!

So Mace, let's go wheeling some time man?? I've been in Vegas over a yr now and never met you in person! Where you hide'n dude?

IMO at 103 wide it is a problem as it is to wide to be legaly towed on the road.

 

[D'Animal]

I thought that was a typo.

Looking at the third picture down, I don't understand the all brackets welded to the rear axle.

 

[R.K.]

It definitely has some good drivetrain components and axles. The tubework would probably hold up in a rollover, but could be better IMO. As the others have said, I would definitely look at it and drive it before Imade an offer. Pay close attention to the weld joints in the tubing. The width could be a problem for towing, and on tight trails.

 

[Eskimo]

When you go, take a look and see if you could flip the hubs - That would shave 10" off the width

Like RK said, it's got some damn nice driveline & axle parts, but I'm not a fan of the welded front, nor of the 1-link and those shocks. It's really a weird combination, to be honest.

I'm not trying to sound elitist in the least, but typically when you see a 1-link and Rancho's, you won't find 20" double beadlocks, Ouverson's bling pinion brakes, and a Stak. It's re-centered stock wheels, the venerable Toyota pinion brake, and a 205. Pay attention to the details, and listen to your gut.

Oh, that year 6.0 I believe had the iron heads, so it's not as desirable as the later ones.. still a damn good engine though.

That kicks ass mace! Class 11 is hard core!



yea that rig is kindof strange, like he spend all his $$ on Bling parts, I think it would be cool if you re worked it similar to Eskimo's Rig.. the stinger is funny! it would be fun regardless!

 

[LCOwner]

I'd start at 10k and work from there. Why is he selling it?

Well as I stated in a previous post, I'm no longer interested!

He told me his bottom dollar is 14k!

That last picture- Disney Ok. I have personally walked a beater hilux running welded diffs and 31's right up that. It looks a lot worse than it is. Just gotta watch that whole his front tire came out of. Broken Birfield Bar for that one!

Defiently not worth the money, but im not to far from him. If anyones interested I can take a look at it for ya!
