    Around here we have places that rebuild them, usually the same guys who rebuild cv axles.

    If it were me I'd get it rebuilt then keep as a spare or sell after rebuilt. Otherwise as a core it's not really worth much.

    @ anyone
    @mechanicjon - will you send me a thread link about the seat mod?

    I’m working on the drivers seat adjusting lever that breaks off easy. Do you have the thread or info on repairing it?

    I’m picking up a 960lb dry 5x8 cargo trailer. Looks like the 8” drop hitch I bought will be enough. Getting it up tomorrow.

    I could be wrong but i think any auto parts store would take it as a core. The local junkyard in Denver told be they just sell them as cores. Not sure who they sell to.

    Im planning on attempting to rebuild mine though. Looks fairly easy...

    What made you decide on that vs the Summit?

    I’m leaning that way too. I remember when I had the Elite Off Road half guard I wished I had the extra protection of the full grill guard...

    I like the look more, never liked the prerunner style hoops on plate bumpers.

    Hmm. I didn’t know they were known as “prerunner style hoops”
    Good to know, good to know
