He spins and you take off.

Think logically about it. If he cannot hook up, how does he go forward as fast as you?
He'll just give you the loser flyby when he gets the chance.

Man, if i had the money. .. . ... .

A quick turn of the **** or pull of the handle into 4wd fixes that issue easily. Course in the case of the D-max then his tie rods break and he goes flipping off into the fields....

I'm seriously going to start buying them and reselling after rebuild.

I'll rebuild with gears you want, and set, then crate and send.

Shipping would kill me im sure. I want to find one local. I can rebuild it, would rather that anyhow. The only problem is everyone around here thinks that they are worth 10 times there wieght in gold. There a guy 20 miles from here that wants 2500 for one that came off a running truck. That is way too much for me.

Are you checking Craig's List?
I've seen quite a few around here (Oregon) for 7-800 bucks. I didn't go look at them though so I don't know how good of shape they are in.
