I was on CL just now looking for a cheap Bronco or Bronco II to buy this morning, so I thought I would come here and post a unique offering I just saw. I would have missed this ad, but, since he was so smart to keyword spam I feel entitled to share.

This picture speaks (he has a lot more - remember my rule about the shock inverse ratio) itself so clearly what a wonderful 4x4 this really is

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/car/515193452.html

!!!!!1999 Lincoln Navigator 4X4 HUGE!!! DVD Subs! - $16500




I was thinking about using a Yahoo account and asking how it did off road in the mud, you know, being a 4x4 and all for $16,000.

Those 6 rear shocks only have like 1 1/2" of travel before they bottom out.

Nice.

Might be a small amount of tech there.
Just curious how that all has worked out for you buying stuff off of evilcrewcab? since he was kicked off of ebay twice for scamming people. here is a thread on the network54 FE forum about a guy that got ripped off by him, just look at mr evil's gallery to get his name of James Hettfield and compare to the real name listed in this thread.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182...ler+ont.canada


Then if your real interested in what kind of tool this guy really is you might want to check out the thread ultimate 385 build in the big block forum on this site. The guy is a real piece of work, if you look at what he claims he is some big engineering genuis and machinest and even has a machine shop and a website promoting it, but when you go to the web site there is a couple things of serious note. it's a web site promoting a machine shop service and his special RD work, yet what is missing? not one single picture of a machine shop, and all the R&D pics are just pics of stock broken parts, and the only pics of his supposed killer evil crew cab were taken at a fair grounds pulling competition, not one of it actually having the turbo's he claims or even being LPG injected or at his house.

Heck this guy is so smart he has figured out how to change the laws of physics.

Basically do business with care as in don't pay for squat till you have the parts in your hands.

Does that Bronco II really NEED a body lift?

And yeah I like those rear shocks on that navigator too. Also the rust all over the chrome shocks. If you're gonna spring for chrome you could at least take care of it.

ok guys, I just received an email with by far THE best example of redneck ingenuity and engineering masterpiece which far succeeds anything I have ever seen on this site before. The bad thing is that its not a vehicle. 2 words....FLIP FLOPS! Some of you may have heard of them but NONE of you are smart enough to use them in this manner.









Yes thats flip flops holding a 6 outlet strip above water.
