    Cause I'm bored with it but not willing to take the next step in the build and sink thousands into the truck. I've wheeled it and enjoyed it for 5+ years now. I've got my money out of it big time just in fun.

    Someone else can enjoy it now

    After my trip to Maine, it does alright with the 35x12.5 but hills on the highway will kill your speed and I feel like around town driving strains the clutch a fair amount, but definitely doable

    Yup. It's as built as it can get for now. It can follow solid axles up mild trails and can outwheel any IFS rigs (for the most part). Have wheeled it at all the local off-road parks and have done every trail pretty much.

    Only thing I can do now is solid axle, crawl box, 40s, etc etc etc and everything gets expensive real quick.

    I'm not really excited to dump over $10k in a crawler so I'd rather sell it and let someone else enjoy it the way it is.

    Probably gonna get a race truck next :burnrubber:

    It was fun for sure. I've had a ton of good times and memories in the truck and honestly I hope the buyer backs out. I'll just keep it and build it over time lol. But I wouldn't mind parting ways too. So it's whatever

    :thumbsup: Thanks man. She sees plenty of abuse/dirt, it just isn't in the rock crawling category. Idaho is a bit rockier than Wyoming. I am not sure what I'll eventually find here. I'm not one to travel to beat the truck up. I mean, why would I when I have access to 5 million acres of public land just a short drive out of town :laugh:.

    Sad to see your truck go but I'm not surprised. You have tried to sell it many times. 4K is a steal.

    It's a love hate relationship. I need to let someone else enjoy it. I've abused it so bad that I actually feel bad about taking someone's money for it lol
