Originally i bought this with the idea of swapping everything to a rock lizard chassis but I have another truck already and the rock crawling just no longer tickles my pickle and I have other hobbies. I bought it about a year ago and since then literally all i did was put in the tcase and drove it up and down the street a few times, other than that its just been sitting in my yard collecting dust as I look at it everyday.
So the not so good part is that the engine has a dead cylinder, it starts fine but once it gets out of high idle it will start to studder the rpms. I haven’t checked the compression but still has spark to all 4 cylinders. I believe its the timing and i have all the parts to do the timing chain water pump etc but i literally have no interest in rock crawling stuff and if your mechanically savvy this should be a simple fix for a great price and your on your way.
Plus in my logic a buggy chassis is around 3k so if you buy this you can build a buggy for pretty cheap.
Currently it is plated with current CA reg but as you know it wont pass smog, and it will drive down the road fine but it will need some new heims and bushings and just little love in general. I’m not trying to give anyone a bad deal or hide stuff so if your seriously interested feel free to ask any questions.
