Looks decent.

I see those go for 1500$ stock...

I would remove the body lift though..

I looks exactly like mine, except mine has no lift and is 2wd... I think it's a good deal if it runs...

Not bad, first investment on it for me though would be a set of gears....

Be careful getting into someone elses project. Just remember that more than likely you will end up dumping a decent amount of money into it to get it running/driving properly. One of the reasons I don't buy others projects.

Looks decent to me, a good start at least. I'd definitely get gears and maybe take out the BL and drop down to 33s.
