    Maybe. I've got an old corvette I work on. Getting under a Tacoma certainly seems like it would be a lot easier :D

    Hey my name is Nick I am one of the builders at Local Motors and I just wanted to stop by and let you guys know we are having another event this SATURDAY June 9th 12-3.
    But this time we are also having a GARAGE SALE and selling off all the extra, old model, and slightly used desert race car left over parts we have sitting around. It's a lot of parts like 6 wood skids worth.
    So come out and join us for another open house free of charge, bring cash come early and have a good time. All the info should be here http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=0818d33f5a1a0f951985550dc&id=02176e6701

    Oh BTW we are going to have an RTI ramp bring out your best flexer and see how you stack up to the jeep guys!

    I am going to copy a post that has a general idea of SOME of the parts for sale....
    I have some pictures of the garage sale piles, still no full break down but it gives some idea.

    LOTS of Axels most are new some are from race cars with very low miles. One is a full blown brand new Raptor axel with brakes and a E-locker
    Also STRANGE ford 9" complete

    photobucket-4901-1338944665190_424e57b0fadfc8db3fdd3c3b8509c6e07cdb59e2.jpg

    We have AC parts
    rally fighter center consoles
    Need a dash for your buggy? Rally Fighter full aluminum dashes! We have about 9 or more and they are cool and would be easy to modify.
    electric fans shrouds
    fuel cells
    hydraulic bump stops
    amps
    shifters
    seat belts
    rear view mirrors with video screens and inputs
    rod ends
    JK Grab handles
    sun visors
    seat tracks
    heat shielding
    heat insulation
    Acoustical shielding
    mini lathe
    MTR's
    Used AC unites for under dash that have all parts in a case except the compressor
    fox bumps new
    Down draft cutting table

    photobucket-2382-1338944691273_22ede3aae6d087d18b652402cc381e52fb9a235f.jpg
    Wheels mostly F150 bolt pattern.

    About 20 pairs of these rally fighter race seats they will sell pretty cheap and ready for harnesses.

    Again I don't have prices I am just trying to get you guys an idea of what is going to be there. A lot of this stuff would be really easy to make useful in a buggy trail rig or jeep. There is a ton of other stuff that will be there that I havent listed or don't know about so you really have to just check it out bring cash and show up early.

    I will try my best to answer any more questions you guys have but I don't have much more info than I have already given.

    See you there!

    Id love to get a pair for my truck so that I can actually recline the back of my seat (bench does not recline at all).

    If you find out a price let me know!

    We are staying late today to build a ramp for you guys to play on, so hopefully we have a lot of contestants, who wants to take on a bunch of jeep guys?

    Yep. Just to see how much flex you got. Chas is pissed he's missing it, he's been talking about doing a RTI for awhile now.

    It just tests flex and how you cycle your suspension, it can be a great learning tool or bragging right. No one ever breaks on an RTI ramp and THIS one is 28" wide so it is like the best ramp ever for a beginner because there is no way to screw up. You just slowly roll up and slowly roll down.
