I finished this cruiser in June of 06. Since then I have only taken it wheeling twice,both times to paragon, it completed the wampum trail under it's own power.

I will and can deliver this rig with in 4hours of my home at an additional cost which we can work out.

I have about $7000 into this rig as it sits.

Price is $4000 or best offer. More pics if you need them.
This rig would need rear lights to be street legal.

Just a word on this rig, If I had not gotten my trail rig back from Cali I would of bought this truck,as It has a ton of potential and would make a great rock wheeler, and just with a few mods it could be street legal.

Thanks for looking

I've wheeled with this truck (and it's owner)... it's an EXCELLENT wheeling rig... it's a perfect start to go to building a dedicated trail rig or to bring back towards a street/trail hybrid. The owner is a talented mechanic and fabricator too...
Good thing I have a 40 project underway and an unsympathetic wife-unit or I'd be very tempted...

Man, I wish you were in Utah. Bump for a great hardcore wheeler. $2500 seems like a great price.
 
I wouldn't mind taking a ride to check it out, not too far, I'm in CT
