Colorado B.S. Thread

Better hurry up. I am from MT, and just moved from Wyo, and its slowly starting to collect people from CO.

 

Yeah I was looking at Montana but thinking I may be moving to Utah in the next year. It's like the Colorado of old, a bunch of riding right outside of slc, and the mormons are pretty nice people.

 

How does everyone here feel about salvaged titles? I am on the fence about a 1st gen with a salvaged title that I am gonna try to go look at today.

 

That is what I was worried about

 

I had one that was great. All depends on who fixes it and what all was wrong. There is a place locally that sells salvage vehicles and I've heard some rough things about them

 

California has been moving into MT for awhile now. Flathead area and bozeman are already overrun.

This is a local guy up in boulder. Got posted in the trade thread. 260k, $4500, new timing belt and water pump. Sounds like front fender and grill stuff in a wreck maybe? I called him and he is calling me back in a few.

I am hesitant for obvious reasons, but the idea of going through it and fixing the hopefully small issues, then throwing a nice mid travel set up and supercharger and making it a weekend warrior for around here are extremely tempting. Could eventually just SAS it.

 

Hooray for new armor! Finally got the LCA armor mounted that I got from @Tacoma SS and a Pelfreybilt front skid that I bought a while back! Ordered some new CV axles from CVJ Axles and getting some new sliders from @3378jakesr5 soon! Little late getting the truck ready this year for off-roading but hey, life's a bitch sometimes Sad that I missed out on that Icon set posted this weekend! What a deal...

 

FWIW that thing would sell for over double that in good condition.

Trading post also says it has F&R lockers.

If that's accurate, and you plan on wheeling it, I think it's easily worth the price. People are paying close to that for crashed double cabs just to swap the cab on to their xtra cab.

 

I had heard that too. Otherwise Montana was high on the list of possibilities.

 

I would do this only if you're looking at a purely off-road trailer-queen. Otherwise, you're limited to how much insurance coverage you can get, and even liability only is really expensive. My brother drives a civic that was stolen then recovered, with a salvage title. He got it super cheap but then ended up having to jump through hoops to get plates and insurance on it.

 

Hmm I missed the Front and rear lockers, just figured it had an elocker.

Like i said it would mostly just be wheeling and exploring around the area. Probably wouldn't drive it back to MT until I had gone through everything.

Sadly yea. There is still some great areas it hasn't gone full blown CO yet.

Hmm good point. Might have to call them and get an idea as well.

 

Probably depends on the insurance company. I almost bought a salvage title and when I talked to usaa about it they said it would be no issue to insure. They would just have to come out and inspect it to determine it's value.

 

Yeah, maybe it does just depend... actually, the more I think about it, I think he mentioned that they had to put a new VIN on it or something? Maybe it was because it was salvaged due to being stolen, not due to an accident. Still a good idea to call up your insurance agent and see what they say.

 

For sure. I wouldn't even be thinking this hard into it, but its the exact color iw ant,1st gen, and a double cab for cheap. I miss having a toy and a project to keep me focused.

 

USAA does spoil us, numerous times I have been told/ heard about insurance issues that I have never experienced with USAA.

 

Sounds like a few guys are looking at it, he is gonna call me in a few hours to view it tonight.

The interior is damaged, his brother tried to rhino line it so dash and all that would probably need to be replaced.

Salvage title came from previous owner( his friend) with a loan on it. Front bumper, grill, corner lights, and part of door got damage. All of it was fixed and replaced except teh door. Door is fine he said, just has a small dent/gap on the bottom I guess.

So depending if it sells before I can go look at it, or if the interior or anything looks bad might come home with it.

 

My money says....
it will still be there...
It's a basket case just from what I'm hearing...Rhino line the interior? wtf?

 

I am kinda getting a feeling you may be correct. He said lots of ppl have called and want to view it. So makes me wonder why it isn't already gone. But I'll be damned if I won't give it alook.

Hell if it does have front and rear lockers its worth its price just in parts.

 

Totally worth a look. I bet most are just seeing the super cheap price on a DC 1st gen. But if that interior is what I'm visualizing, all but the most hardcore will prolly walk away.
How far down the line are you to see it?
