That thing is huge. I hope you don't want to daily drive that. Spooled rear, detroit front. 39's? I would look for something a little more subtle, 35's tops, rear locker only. My only thought on buying a built rig is that I wouldn't to have to unbuild something. I would look for a little less that what I wanted and add the details per my preference. Just MO.

Im just saying I would not want to buy something fully built. No problem on the front locker as long as you put in what you want. I might want an Aussie up front or an Toy LSD, or save for an ARB. 4 mile drive aint bad. I wouldn't mind drivin a monster truck 4 miles to work. I would look for something that someone spent money on and bought quality parts, not franken-rigged BS. We all know you don't get money back on after market stuff. Someone is over it and selling it. Be patient.

Those front shocks are almost at full travel sitting. I've read that the rough county springs don't flex well. The rear sags compared the front. Thats all I can see from the pics. I wouldn't pay $6500 for it.

Try craigslist or the classifieds.

That rig is WAY too tall. I'd leave the tires but the body lift would need to go. Birf eliminator is junk, but I think you wouldn't be getting off to bad if you beat him down to $5800 or so. Only think you'd have to buy is a set of Longs for the front axle, the rest would be taking things off or cheap stuff if it's in good shape.
