I may make a deal with a local dealership that loves to sell people lifted trucks. They will not give me what I could get from a private sale, but I may be able to slide into another car from their lot.

Tomorrow afternoon I should know more.

You go to make a deal on selling yours and I made a deal to buy my 4th.


Meeting in the AM to exchange cash for the title, then the work starts.

Took The Beast desert camping to ride the dirt bikes and have some fun with the new light rack, which might have involved my son, a 22, and some jack rabbits ;-)

Definitely use a reputable shop, if they don't make you feel right when you first get inside. LEAVE. I prefer to use a shop my insurance company uses as well. Had good experiences a couple times and will likely go back when needed.

It comes with a fender, header panel and headlights.

on the hunt for a hood, bumper and snow tires as the ones on it are junk. Needs a really good cleaning.





did you pay the full 3000 for it? i went and looked at it but looked like the adapter between the trans and tcase was cracked and was really wet with atf under it

That is the key here...


Use a shop that your insurance company recommends. This way if you have a problem, your insurance company can light a fire under them and it'll get taken care of.

No, and I haven't done the deal yet. I never looked under it...stupid me.

I'll go look it over better today before I buy it, if it looks like a bigger headache then i thought I'm walking away.

What are you smoking Skip?

I just grabbed the truck and ran it down to my shop, crawled under it front to back, had a few of my guys look it over. It's totally try underneath!

I bought it for 2,700 with the header panel and fender, let the rebuild begin!
