That's alot of money

 

Thought 1 : overpriced.

Thought 2 : the old way of thinking is that mods do not add value to a vehicle. I still hold to that.

 

Ugly as sin

 

Hard pass. nobody give away $ like that after 6k miles.

 

"Marlin Crawler Heavy Duty LCA brace kit ($4k in welding to install)"

wtf $4k who got hugely shafted? mine were installed in half a day. . iG trucks just never make sense to me.

 

hahah i love it. i thought the same thing as soon as i opened it. overpriced and unrealistic expectation to get all the money back for aftermarket parts. and god ugly to boot.

 

and the wire job for the whole dual battery setup looks like a rats nest

 

Hard pass. Can’t even change a factory fuse or service the brake system.

 

Maybe for 35k and then sell of some stuff to bring it closer to stock. But you gotta hate money or hate what you did to a truck to put that much into it and send it away after 6k miles

 

This man is also willing to trade for "High end SUVs with loaded options, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Infiniti QX70s, Audi Q7, Mercedes AMG sport utilities, etc."

 

If you’re rich with money to burn and you really want it, buy it.

 

The truth is every dollar spent modifying a vehicle reduces its value by said amount. If you spend $5000 modifying your truck, it’s worth $5000 less when you go to sell it. You just have to accept that fact. One reason you shouldn’t do mods you don’t need, like this fellas dual battery set up. No need for that.

 

Love the wiring mess by the battery.....

 

Needs new gears after you overpay for it....

 

Good luck troubleshooting electrical issues when something goes bad in there

 

This is completely anecdotal to yourself as a buyer and doesn’t hold true in the slightest across the board. Just like the mods don’t add money people. That’s just a particular buyer’s thought pattern. I’ve seen enough used modded vehicles sell for crazy prices to know none of that holds true. It’s all about the right buyer and hardly anyone on here will be the one for this particular ad.

 

The ad and the truck leave me asking so many questions that probably can't be answered.

For 45k Id buy a new TRD sport and add the ARB parts if a sport with air lockers is what I want.

 

I spoke with HomeBoy this morning and offered him $60K.
He accepted and will deliver next Thursday.

You boys missed your chance! Suckers.
