What other builders did you call?

This ^^^ I surely wouldn't go any bigger than that though. However if you plan on flat tracking, a plus 4 isn't for you.

It won't be helpful, nobody will run that junk.

Using yfz components...smart guy he was.

You need to call them. I think they run around 650 but don't quote me on that.

For what you're doing, I wouldn't bother with lt. It would be a better setup but the standard travel will work pretty good too. I've run full flights (came on my current bike) I wouldn't go that route....I have lsr arms now but if I had to do it over I would buy fireball.

I'm aware....

Start at the beginning and read

You don't notice anything wrong with your question?

OK, now I'm starting to feel stupid.

Basically...

This ^^^

So please explain to me, how you can tell the trans on the last truck i had was bad. It didn't slip and it only limped when it was under a heavy load. I limped that trans several times, i doubt it was going to make it another 1000 miles before completely fucking itself. Right there is 5k to have it built...That truck ran good and sounded good but let me tell you, it was 3/4 vortexed! Some dumb ass like you probably bought it for 25k too. Theres no way a dealership is going to let you run all of these tests on it for 2 days and let you parade it around town with a heavy trailer on the back just to run it through the ringer. There is always risk, i hope you come across one of my used vehicles because every one that ive gotten rid of was completely fucked!

His i.q. is also real weak.

Or for sandwich deliveries

He probably makes more than one at a time and only makes them so often I'm only using common sense here.

Green, please don't get me started!

The point of having a nice vehicle, is so i can go turn the fucking key and go where i want. I can wrench on my own shit, but i hate doing it. If i wanted to be a mechanic, i would have been. What happens (since were commenting on this thread) if you go look at a diesel truck and all checks out. The following week (after spending say 15k on the truck) it blows up and will cost 6k just for a used motor. Still worth it? Shit better yet, you buy a newer used diesel for 35k and it blows...Do you go find another unknown motor to throw in it or buy new? If you buy new, bam another 10k and a million headaches for the same price as a brand new base model (give or take), that would have came with a warranty. I would much rather drop the fucker off and use a rental for a week than be fiddle fucking around in my garage in hopes that it fixes whatever the problem was.

DAF

They run forever, but you know what I mean...

If the vehicles youre buying are shit quality, maybe shop somewhere other than a Honda or Nissan dealer. 100k miles will last the average person 5 years.....What the fuck do you want? They surely aren't going to fix it forever. If the vehicle is a heap, any sane person would get rid of it before the warranty ran out. Also something to think about, most people who have their shit together will have that vehicle paid for by the time the warranty runs out. Repair bills are a lot easier when you don't have to make a loan payment.

With tie rod sleeves they probably pulled or drag raced it. As far as price goes, that's way high for what it is. It's an 18k truck on a very good day.

Glad he included lots of detailed information
