I've been on the dark side for over a year now. It's really not that bad. Come on over and help me infiltrate it.

so what do you guys think? if the suspension lift and arms/heims are good quality work and everything looks fine, what do you think i should offer on it?

clearly hes asking 3900 OBO, but it needs a new bumper(he told me on the phone the one he has is cracked) it needs a taillight and it has some rust. its kinda high mileage (186,000) and if he bult it to actually wheel it im expecting a little trail rash, which isnt a big deal to me but impacts the price lol.

so whats the lowest price you think i could offer without him looking at me like im full blown retarded?

my friend just bought a 92 Cherokee that's supposed to be Moab worthy already. He has a 4.0 that is stroked, I think he said it's a 4.6 now...........

I'll post pics if it's worth a sh!t when I see it. =)
Sorry to be a bit off topic on your thread 7.5_STX. But here's my buddies I was talking about earlier. I drove it last night, and holy hell does it have some balls. That stroker is bad ass.

well I put in my app for the loan today,, ill know if it was approved tuesday.....I hope i get it!

my F150 is no longer safe to drive, i have no(the little bit that is there is soft flaky rust) drivers side floor pan, i can crawl through it, my interior wiring shorted out randomly today and the only lights that work are my heads/turns/tails. i can no longer get in through the drivers side since the rocker fell off, cause when i open the door the cab gets so tweaked that the pin is about 2 inches below the latch. and the lifter tick is getting LOUD.

weeeeelp, i went and test drove it....it needs a few things.

1.tie rod end (minor)
2. rear u-joints (minor)
3. its clearly been wrecked before(kinda major)
4. rocker panels were filled with spray foam (major)
5. needs a new intake manifold gasket, its leaking antifreeze everywhere on top of the block (Very Major)
6. the front mounts for the arms are a HACK job, they need to be completely redesigned, not to mention the welds were just boogerific....i didnt evem bother to look at the rear mounts.

lots of its minor but the leaky intake was the deal breaker. :/

now im looking at a high milege V10 excursion lol.
