wow its not bad enough he had to use blocks on the front but 2! and on top of that between left/right they are different! wow i could see a stray tumbleweed ripping the front axle off this thing...but if i had the cash id buy it and the first thing i would do is lift it properly then id probably drop it to 44 boggers and less lift if i could

id buy it if the price was right. az sheetmetal is quite nice. get rid of the blocks, and rebuild the motor. looking at probably 2500 on top of the purchase price. alot less if you do most of the work yourself.

Give this truck to my son, send him to Powerline Park, and watch him shoot the axles out of it in 30 seconds.

You guys are being a little far fetched. It has two lift blocks in the front, yeah its a little different but its not a fact that his blocks will shoot out and cause a large disasterous wreck killing hundreds.

In fact, most of you probably have never seen this. (MOST OF YOU)

Now I know I would never use two lift blocks in the front, well.. I would never block the front. But just because its scary to the extreme doesn't mean that the guy is some retard, for all we know, he bought the truck or built it as a show truck. Its obvious its a mall crawler, but really. I think $1525 is a reasonable price for it.

The shape its in its probably worth it.

I'd buy it if I had $1525 to throw away. :P

Prozon... You might want to reconsider your post....

Double blocks in the back are not THAT bad, one block up front is worse than 2 in the back...

I will cover it in detail later if you would like...

utf, i gotta bust em for your criticism. thats a nice truck. new u bolts for the front to get rid of the blocks, and for 2500-3000 i can rebuild the entire drivetrain. you guys are overexagerating. some people just dont know better and that trucks well worth 2k. probably just a leaking rear main.

I really hope you are joking. Anybody who would stack blocks like this is beyond retarded- as you said.
A SHOW truck??? I guess the "show" quality has gone down quite a bit huh?? Maybe we will see this truck on the cover of the next issue of four-wheeler magazine.
If its a mall crawler its even worse, since it is ONLY driven on the street. The only way blocks would be acceptable (and even this is far fetched) is if is strictly a mud bog truck. And not a truck that you take to the mud hole and drive around trails such. A strictly mud bog truck. You trailer it to the mud hole...drive around until your axle falls out, put it back on the trailer and go home.
And if you notice $1525 is not his asking price. The reserve is not met, meaning he probably wants alot more.
And no I havent personally seen a block spit out and cause a giant wreck, but I dunno about you I sure dont want to be around it. And I sure as hell wouldnt be the one to cause it because I went cheap and stupid on lifting my truck.
But since you dont see a problem with it, Ive got a set of 10.5" blocks ill give you. Put them up front and drive around for a year or two. If your still alive by then maybe we will go a little easier on you.

The truck is definatly worth more than $1600 dont get me wrong. It is in good shape for what it is. Id probably pay 2k+ for it if I had the money, but like everyone else said would spend a lot more that that fixing it up. (Kinda like what Ive been doing for the last year). But if corners were cut in the lift who knows what else wasnt done right.

lol, wouldnt doubt it. If this one is classified as a show truck to him, hed probably crap himself seeing mine, spray paint and all. And....Mine dont even leak that bad!!

Okay guys, lets keep the conversation directed at the truck, not other FTE users.

Thanks.
