    toyota's dont last unfortuanately up north(as you prob know) cuz of the salt and stuff so folks never really ran them. so most of the stuff i remember was made for and by things with big blocks and above. most everyone i rode with up north had at least 10" of lift on their rides and no smaller than a 350 under the hood. but who knows the entire offroad community has changed more towards expedition style and stuff so it may be totally different up there too. afterall its been almost 16 years since ive been back to my hometown.

    Well nowadays you have to pay like $15 or $20 or something for 3 days of offroading, so I'm sort of hoping it's somewhat maintained. Makes me more confident that my buddy will be able to get his f-150 a little dirty though, fitting it down a trail was a concern, thing is huge.

    I know it's kinda ironic coming from me of all people, but you know what arguing on the internet is like, right Bill?

    i don't have .02 to put in either.
    EDIT: I reuse what I can to save money. Now, when it comes to rebuilding stuff like, say an engine, if I am told to replace EVERYTHING, I will replace EVERYTHING.

    Man, I'm not trying to piss you off, but I think your expectations are way too high. Most people won't pay for mods at all, for one thing, and you've not got anything expensive except the lift for another...

    I bet you'll get low 20's offers, and I think most people would call that fair. A dude in tennessee just picked up a similar truck, maybe a little more mileage, for 23, but it had a stage-2 URD supercharger in addition to 35's and an icon-based 6" lift.

    Good luck, I really do hope you get 28, but just saying...

    No worries...I'm just trying to get as much as I can for it. I won't go less than 25 though. If I can't get at the very least that much then I'll just keep it.
