New high volume oil pump from engbldr

Stuff that I don’t like/bad stuff

Have a leak that I haven’t been able to find, think it is the tcase but is real slow so its hard to tell. I had to reuse a couple of seals when putting it together after the 4.70s so that is my hunch.

The only rust is at the bottom of the floor pan at the where your feet are. Right at the body mounts.

The truck has a slight lean to the drivers side. This is from the front left bump stop coming off a while ago and me continuing to flex the springs off road.

Final thoughts
I have spent lots of time (well me and my friends) on this truck making it into a decent daily driver and trail rig. This thread is the whole truth im not trying to hide anything. If you have any questions just let me know.
This is my first vehicle and has been my only transportation since high school (5 years). It has a lot of value to myself but I'm moving on in my hobbies.

Runs and drives great. With the 33" and 5.29s its great on the highway. Feels like a sports car in the mountains going down to LA. Able to pass pretty much everyone.

Asking $3100
I'm open to offers and trades. I would be willing to drive it quite a ways for someone to take advantage of this truck. I'm in Lancaster, CA.

(just sold tires on it in those pics, put the bfgs back on)

If you spent 5,700 on parts and then used them for a year I doubt you will get 5,700 for them again. I understand you're selling the whole truck but 5,700 seems a bit steep to me. Just my  and good luck with your sale, it looks like a nice and capable truck!

[hbar314 [OP]]

Hey thanks. I really didnt know what would be out of line. Hmm How bout $4700?

[GregBennett]

Would you be interested in parting some of it out?

I'm interested in the 3rds.

[hbar314 [OP]]

Just finished putting in brand new 120W JVC's in the front that sound awesome.

[hbar314 [OP]]

Forgot to put it in but has budbuilt boomerang shackles in front. Wheelbase is 113". Goes pretty much any where I point it. I also have a 7mge sitting in the garage that I was going to build up and swap in if who ever buys/trades for the truck is intrested in.
