Gayest headlights I've ever seen! I'd start at 4,000

[YFZ-FoFiddy-TC]

That front end is TERRIBLE! Offer him 4.

[Kickstarts-suck]

Im not really a big fan of the range rover front end either.

Ill try $4000

[CJM]

3500.

Lift blocks in the back that high are a bad situation waiting to happen. Why would they use a RR front when a D60 is a much better choice...

Plus your gonna need to remove the gayest headlights I ever seen..

When he says RR front, he's talking about the headlights.

Ah.

Still ugly as sin.

Also for 40s to work on an IFS truck..geez goodbye idler arms and frontend.

[fastredrider44]

I agree, that truck is not built right and if you use it as a toy off-road, your rear end and axles are gonna be shot in no time. I can already bet the idler and pitman arms are toast already. What I do like about that truck is the body doesn't look too bad and I don't see any rust. If you got it for 4, I'd say you could do pretty good with it.

[Kickstarts-suck]

Im not a big 4x4 fan and dont know THAT much about them. But I was concerned about the IFS and 40s and I know the lift blocks are a no-no.. I wish It was SASed.

The headlights would deff be removed and replaced with stock with a projector retrofit. Rear will have roll pan and fully shaved rear.

Planning on removing the blocks and doing it right. Just not sure about the front end.. I dont have the time for a SAS.

[OldGuyonaQuad]

If you buy it can I have the head lights? :cool:

[Tommy Warren]

he is selling it because he doesn't want to go bankrupt buying another set of tires. putting mud tires on a 17+" rim is a waste of money... it looks good until you get 100 miles on the tires and realize you have to buy another set soon. and the headlights are ***

[400ex28]

looks like a clean truck besides the headlights/grille which should be taken off and set on fire, has it been re-geared? how many miles are on it?

[TCracin440ex]

IFS & 40's. no good. ive had my ifs lifted trucks. be prepared to be replacing wheelbearings, balljoints, and tierods every 6 months and while you doin that check arround and see if one of your local alignment shops offers lifetime alignment because its hard as hell keeping something like that in line

nother point. you said nothing about gears. 40s and factory gearing is hell on a transmission.

[Kickstarts-suck]

I havent gotten to talk to the guy in person yet. I went and saw it but his wife was the only one home at the time. Should be going over there tomorrow to take it for a ride.

BTW its a LS2 6.0L

Im not sure what gearing it has. That was another thing I sure hopes its been re geared.

Going to get more details tomorrow about it.

Truck is just going to be an every now and then truck. Take to the beach and hit some dirt roads and stuff with. Tires are brand new.

Reason he is selling is he has a badass 300zx that just threw a rod and he wants the money to put into a new motor.

But I know the IFS and 40s isnt such a great idea :ermm:

[fastredrider44]

make sure to find out what transmission it is behind that 6.0. Look to make sure it's a good clean install as well. Another option would be to buy the truck, enjoy it a while, but when it needs tires, sell the wheels and tires and buy some smaller wheels and tires and take the body lift off.

Tommy nailed it. Those tires are going to be insanely expensive and they will wear out extremely fast. There's always the guys that say they will wear right and last forever, but the front end parts that those tires are going to eat are going to make sure the tires don't wear right or last.

[trick450r]

find out if its an aluminum block real ls2, or a truck motor hes calling an ls2, also whats it got for a trans?

Throw some full widths under it and have a cool play toy is what I say.

[KKiowaTJ]

If it has a 6.0l you will need a 4l80e transmission or it will burn up quick. The next best is a th400, But thats a 3 speed lock up only.

40" tires require 1 ton axles. Yeah it might move now, But you have to stop too. Soon as you lock it in with the IFS most likely snap a CV shaft. The weight of the tires and rolling mass is what will kill the front end.

If you do buy the money pit, Your better off **** canning the 3" BL and 40's for a set of 35-37" tires. That way if it dont have 4.88 minimum gear you can make do with stock in town with the OD off.

Good luck either way, But IMO $3500 tops for all the work you will have to do to make it look decent and perform as it should. You never know what kinda hack job he did and all the gremlins you will have to trace down, If you can. To each their own

[trick450r]

the cars come with 4l60's stock, a 60 with a shift kit and a tc will handle an ls2 with no problems at all.

Also 1 ton's for 40's? That's a pretty generic classification, maybe in the dana world but I know plenty of yota axles with 40's no problems.

A stock yota front axle out of an 85 will handle 40's, but will probably snap the birfields. Most guys stop at 36" tires for that reason. Course birfs are very easy to replace on them.

Gotta remember too, the yota is not that powerful. Thier advantage is gearing not raw power like a v8 powered truck.

As mentioned not enough power. They use marlin crawl boxes that get stupid low ratios. Add some longfields and it will hold up around the housing. I too had a 85' with 8.8's and they only do so much, Too narrow.

A 14-bolt is cheaper and holds more load. Has pinion support and many other options. Yeah the front usually is a D60 and for good reason.

A 40" tire is heavy as ****. With all that weight along with wheel needs bigger components to hold up. A 10/12 bolt wont make it very long.

If that truck has a 4l60e i wouldnt ever look any further. Thats a swap waiting to happen. A shift kit will only raise the shift pressure in the valve body a little to prolong the rebuild.

I guess "handle" vs. "built to handle" is the main thing to look cool with a flatbill. But then again i wouldnt make any money if people used their head when building a rig to run huge tires.

whats funny bout that post?

[Kickstarts-suck]

I passed on the truck ;)

But Im buying a raptor 700 for $800 :D Probably just going to flip it and get a 450r.

Also picking up a cannondale 440 for $100 that needs some work. Might just part out for profit.

Stolen??? That's cheap. Some of those Cannondales bring a decent penny, but they take a special kind of buyer.

[Kickstarts-suck]

Nope. Its my brother in laws. He was big into racing but has been tired up with his job and it sat for years.
