It's got a few dents from getting too friendly with the rocks (front bumper, one on passenger side and rocker panels before I put on the sliders
Runs great, no leaks.

it's amazing where you've taken this truck. This little truck is what convinced me that I could still have fun without a lift.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Very interested. Pm sent.

I'm not trying to stop the sale Scott but Steve I thought you wanted at least an extended cab. Would you regret it?

 

[sixstringsteve]

Id love an x-cab but they're all beat up, overpriced, and still have a long wheelbase. I could make a reg cab work for me.

 

[Cascadia]

Cool. Just checking.

 

[Spork]

Sold!

 

[sixstringsteve]

I hope the new owner takes it out a lot!

 

[Cascadia]

Are you the new owner steve?

 

[Marsh99]

Thats what I hear

 

[airmanwilliams]

so steve. new bumpers, axles, lift, 35" tires, bobbed bed?

 

[sixstringsteve]

no bobbed bed. No new axles (unless someone has a TRD axle for cheap). We'll see how it ends up. The rear springs are in a negative arch, so I'll probably freshen up the suspension eventually. maybe an ome lift with specialty products UCAs. Spork told me it has 3.55's in it, which is weird. I assumed they had 4.10s in 'em. So if I regear I might as well go to a bigger tire. But first thing first: I need a shell.

 

[Spork]

the door code was 3.58 when I looked it up. No matter what you do if you want 35s it's going to need to regear.

Congrats to both parties!

I believe you Scott. I think I could go 90 and still be below 3000 RPM

I'm keeping the tires it's got for now. No rush to change a rig that already goes everywhere.
