    I saw that truck on CL. Its out of Humbolt right? one day i saw it at 15k, the next it was down to 12k!! Crazy...I like it, but how is the rear raised? looks like huge blocks no? Have you took it for a spin yet?

    And why would he trade for the exact same truck? weird

    Right! I told him the miles are only worthy if it's a stock rig lol.

    And i would prefer a link system. Plus his tires are near shit, and there are no lockers too...

    he's out in Dayton OR.

    No he is asking 16k. I'm not sure exactly how the rear is done, but its sky manufacturing FULL sas kit. So probably larger springs and shackles etc.

    He said he'd trade for a smaller toyota for a commuter truck, and mines only on 33s. Plus once he saw pics of my rig he was like "damn" lol.

    Normally (from what I've seen) when someone builds strictly for looks, odds are the build quality is absolute shit. And it looks/sounds to me like it was built strictly for looks. I'd stay away.

    my GF say's she doesn't like the "forest green" lolololol

    I may meet up with him and check it out - the guy who wants to fabricate my suspension thinks i should just continue with mine since it will be cheap.

    This ^^^

    That looks like a straight mall crawler. 44 front with 39.5 trxus? Hell no. Not functional. You'll prob need to redo some shit like fixing whatever is half-assed, putting in lockers, getting rid of those 39.5's, hydro-assist, LOWERING IT… lol things like that. Check every single one of those welds too.
