Would you do it?

[ShiftFMX]

Ok, Im sure most of you have seen the pictures of my truck. Well, I wanna get back in the game. I think im gonna sell my Ranger, I was told i could get 13000 for it, and im gonna buy like a 98 silverado for like 8500 then buy my friends quad off him for 3500. Its a 89 250r with a ESR330r powervalve kit in. Elka quad rates...blah blah...Check it out...Would you do it?

[nosliw]

holy crap

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Butters]

i would. that 250r is badass.

[ShiftFMX]

The motor has never been blown up either :devil:

[FoxRacing81]

[ShiftFMX]

This is my Truck...:(

[Cody_300ex]

SELL THAT DAMN TRUCK!!! lol Dont even think twice about it!

[ReconRider25]

a 98 silverado is still a pretty nice truck. id sell the ranger and buy the quad and a lil older truck. rather have 2 toys then 1 right?:p

[ShiftFMX]

Some of the other mods that i can think of:

¤AC Bumper
¤Elka Quad Rates
¤ESR Pipe
¤ESR Cool Head
¤330r Powervalve Kit
¤BRAND NEW Holeshot XCR's
¤Tag Bars
¤Quad Tech Hood
¤Quad Tech Seat Cover
¤Walsh Radiator
¤Quad Tech Carbon Fiber Shrouds

Thats all i can think of for now :devil:

just do it, if ur sure that u will get the silverado right away do it.

If those are stock a-arms (which they look to be) they are not quad rate shocks.

I dont think that R is a very good deal either. For 3500 you can get one with alot more than that and maybe even an aftermarket framed one. If you are going to spend $3500 on an R, shop around, there are killer deals out there. Just my opinion.

[YFZ450Ridr]

dude if u passed up that deal you should be hit lol:eek2: the only thing i can see wrong with that R is the chain looks a little rusted, other than that, shes BEAUTIFUL.

[roostin_dale]

Pass the deal on the R....like 416exmx said, it looks nice and all, but for 3,500 you can get a much better deal...

[muddy400EX]

i would buy about a '94 silverado for around 6 grand and then you can have about 6 grand for a quad:D

[Tommy 17]

i dunno if i'd get a truck that old either... not only that take this from someone who owns a silverado.. GAS SUCKS!!!! its 55$ to fill my tank and it lasts a few days...


i'd also look around for a better 250r... i've seen laegers goin for 4,000!:o

[Punk'd]

do it is right! I love your truck ill take it:D

[MotoX3]

i wouldnt...the chain looks rusty as fowk....it could just be a gold one but rusty chain usually tells you alot about maintinence(sp)....jmo

[blaster_rider68]

id do it ....that looks like a sick 250r

[represent618]

that R looks played out, dont let graphics and plastic mask a qua dthat has never got any TLC. shop around 3500 will get you a loaded R, alot nicer than that one........

[PBlackmon]

Holy #$#$%^^**%$$## DO IT!!!!!!!

[ShiftFMX]

ok heres the deal. That 250r has just been put in that frame/plastic setup. My friend bought a compleatly stock 250r about a year or 2 ago and compleatly rebuilt it from the ground up. He had a lonestar frame and all the a-arms, houser swing arm till about the end of last season when he was racing and he came down strait down on the front end and bend the frame and all that and it was cracked and in terrible shape. So he gave up on that and recently built a lonestar/houser Crf450 conversion. But he still had this badass motor laying around so he found a frame for sale with some off brand aftermarket a-arms, and bought some elka quad rates for the front and a new rear shock. Put some new tires on it and a new Quad tech hood and seat cover on it...so, thats wuts up with that. This quad has not even been ridden in that frame or with that CHAIN. He babied that other setup with that same motor so incredible bad, it made me sick. But it makes me more confident to buy this one. There is fresh grey powercoat on that frame too.

Where can you find these loaded 250rs everyone is talkin about?? I have about 3500 right now and am tryin to find a good R, if not then savin more and a yfz. anyone know of any nice Rs around for 3500??

As far as the truck, its nice, but a chevy would be better, id go with the chevy and quad, but maybe try to get the R cheaper. BTW is the chevy a 4x4? if not dont get it!

[ShiftFMX]

I found this...

Its a '99 Silverado 4x4 extended cab for $9,000 it got just over 120,000 miles

I bought this one last year and gave $3750, and like i said, that was a year ago. It had Arens frame and everyhting was aftermarket. It was NICE also. Trust me, there are some deals out there, but it takes a lil looking.

thanks, i remember sein that one, its a little worn lookin

[Woodsrider]

Its a win win for you. Get a larger truck and a sweet arse quad. Why do you even have to ask?

youll have more fun on a quad than in a louzy old truck, all the truck has over the quad is speed,but who really cares about that.........Right:D
