    30k bones??? Eff that... I'd get a second Taco JUST for off-roading and the comment at the bottome of the ad about "miles unknown" and digital speedo as a replacement during restoration...

    First, I really wouldn't consider this a "restoration"... more of a "Pimp-My-Ride"... I'm suprised that FMF isn't somewhere there smiling and giving a thumbs up.

    Second, why would I want to buy a vehicle that has unknown miles on the engine??
