well didja....

[RedNeckRea]

asked prior to the board crash, did you guys find a donor rig for the lakebed buildup?

I've been keepin a look out for one just in case, and i might have found one. what were the specs you guys were lookin for again?

[Jeepskickass]

IFS rig, it should run half way decent, tranny and tcase can be junk. Preferably $1000 or less. That's about it....

[RedNeckRea]

obviously you'd prefer 4x4, but can it be 2x4 :confused:

[Jeepskickass]

It needs to be 4x4... If you come across something, let me know and I'll check it out.

John said there were some differences in the frame that made it imperative that we start with a 4wd. We had a 2wd lined up, but decided against it.

[Krusty]

and two wheel have 5 lug wheels/axles--- 4X have 6 lug--- and other things----

[surveyboy]

Oh, well then that makes sence. seeing as how John's started out as a 2wd I guess he'd know.

you toyota guys man. why couldn't they make it so there wasn't that much of a difference :D

I'll still keep my eyes open round here.

Chris, do you know what he's asking for it?

Chris, do you know what he's asking for it? well he said he wants 3k complete, but also said something about removing the suspension he had on there and dropping it to around 1500. figured maybe with haggling could get it down under that 1k figure. it's the first one I've come across that was anywhere near the 1k mark so figured I'd share.

[Mustard Dog]

Thanks for looking Chris.

We can only spend a MAX of $1000, 500-750 would be preferable. We know there's some IFS trucks out there for that much, just gotta find em.

We know there's some IFS trucks out there for that much, just gotta find em. yeah, figured it'd be too much but in all my searching (local, web, auctions, etc) lowest 4x I've found is 1500. all 3 times I found them they were already sold, and 2 of them were out of state :( .

I'll happily keep lookin though, gotta help find the truck I'm gonna win :D

[Butler]

If you find it, you can't win it. :D What's the maximum range you'll go to get it? DO you care if it's an extra cab or not?

It pretty much doesn't matter where it is. We've got people all over the place. Somebody will be willing to go get it.
