Found another bike, owned by a close friend.

1985 Kawasaki LTD 700 with low mileage and no damage. Needs a new battery, carb cleaning, and maybe some tires. He wants $500 for it, so I'm getting that as a "project"

I'm excited

 

Again?

 

Hahaha the electronics are solid. He had it on the road but stored it in his barn when his most recent kid was born I think

 

Damn man, that sucks to hear! I was hoping you'd get it working well, that's a nice lift!

 

I'd still be weary of something that old. Even if everything worked fine, at 30 years old, wires get brittle and don't take much to crack and cause a short. Good luck to you, hopefully this one works out.

 

Just busting balls. Good luck with it

 

Very true but there's less to this bike than there was with the CBR, so I'm gonna restore it. Probably replace wiring and such. Get it perfect!

Thanks man

Haha I know. Thanks man! Hopefully gonna snag it within the month

 

I am definitely going to miss the ride quality for sure. The OME's are very smooth. Toyota should take note because this truck rides like a dream on this setup. I am dreading the stock ride again. At least I can keep my SS brake lines and EBC yellows! FML

 

What made you decide to part out?

 

My drive line didn't take too well to my new rear leafs. I developed vibes that I couldn't get rid off. I was spending too much time and $$ trying to correct and not enjoying my truck. Rather than sending more $$ down the rat hole I am cutting bait. It pains me to do this because I LOVE the ride and the new look of my rig. If I were more of the mechanic type, I think I would have stuck it out longer, but I am paying a Toyota tech on the side to do the work.

 

Ouch! Sounds like you should trade for a 4Runner and not get the axle wrap and drive line vibes after lifting

 

He said he wants something he enjoys driving...

 

I enjoy the hell out of driving my mommy wagon. Y'all's is just ignant

 

Yup it's us.

 

My friend might part with his 97 Limited. 4wd won't engage though. Might take it off his hands if it's not an expensive fix.

 

Just a t-case. Probably never used it so he lost it

 

Definitely

 

x2! thanks Seth

Does this mean that your not buying my lights?

 

Checkout 4crawlers cheap tricks section (where the link came from). He has a bunch of good stuff for the early pickups/ 4runners
