May 2018 Truck/SUV stuff Craigslist & eBay finds

[MENTION=85]EmersonHart13[/MENTION] watch the Alaska army truck episode... Very solid

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have, I just didn't recall the motor swap. I guess I'll just re-watch!

 

[Kensington]

Yeah, I think they were going for reliability with the motor swap...they probably lost 200 HP though. Still a badass truck with the 8.1, and probably more than enough power with the torque that motor makes, the T-case, gearing, and the portals.

So to me Fred's price is high currently. With the LSA in it that would change my mind.

Will probably sell for near that though because famous truck.

 

[Kensington]

Agreed. I mean those portal axles are $6500 by themselves, but the motor went from a $12K piece to a used $1500 motor....

Those axles are about $7k a piece to replicate withe portal boxes. Thats 1/3 of the truck price right there.

 

[Ear Rak]

Dont forget $2k in wheels. $2000+ in tires. $3000 transmission, $3000 in front suspension, etc.

Shit adds up. Guarantee he’s got close to $50k in it, in the current configuration.

 

[Kensington]

But how many cars/trucks do you end up getting back the entire sum of the parts you put into it?

 

[Ear Rak]

How many of them are "famous" on a tv show?

And wheelin rigs actually pull a good chunk of your money back if you build them right.

I normally don’t care for import trucks. But who can forget these little gems from the 80’s. All you’d need is a DeLorean and 1.21 gigawatts. LOLzzzz

When I was a little kid the 20 something a few houses down had one of those little Toyota pickups and for whatever reason I thought it was awesome. I’ll always have a soft spot for them.
