I don't think it's that bad, really. It's a mud truck, not a daily rig. The K-steering with the ~4" drop plate is actually surprising. You don't see too many people with that setup and do it correctly. Tires are nice and beefy, and I'm sure he regeared his 2.9L or whatever to 5.13's.

$3500 is reasonable, but I wouldn't pay it. Hell, I would start considering if it was closer to the $2500 mark. I wonder how he did the suspension and the TTB drops...

Definitely wouldn't pay 3500. Agreed, 2500 is more like it IF that. Not gonna pay 3500 for twiggy stock axles with 39s.

(delayed repost)

Now that I look at the picture again, that is horrible driveline & pinion angle!

Twiggy stock axles, +1. Do you think he upgraded to the D35, or just left the twiggiest D28 on there?
