thewanderlustking Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The high one is probably worth every penny he is asking. WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyoGuy Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The pricier 4x4 rig looks pretty tight and it looks like the seller's an experienced builder. Just over 500 hours seems like a miracle to me, but I guess it's possible. Having used DuraBond, I wouldn't employ it to anchor cabling on a roof, it's messy to pull up and sometimes takes up what it's glued to as well. I'm always thinking about the "next guy" when I can, 'cause sometimes he's me! : ) Also, being an 18 footer guy, I always wonder what that extra 3 feet of of cargo space, and what it gets filled with does to the performance of a 105 hp motor. I mean, you start out significantly heavier drive train-wise with a 4x4 right out of the gate. I wonder what she weighs in at? Clean lookin' that's for sure. Not much said about the frame, rust etc for an mid-west truck. Anyone had any experience with the Durabak paint product he's impressed with? I'm wondering about their gloss product, not the "bumpy" bed-liner that I wouldn't want as an all-over paint job. Always thinkin' BR, TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Pretty sure the seller is a member here. I would like to know what it weighs. Adding the 4wd adds quite a bit of weight. Since I personally have gotten stuck in the Sierras cause the hill was just too steep, I don't think a 4x4 that big with only a 4 banger could handle mountain off road. Stick to moderate hills. My 2wd Sunrader weighs 5000lbs. Bet that rig weighs well over 7000. It is beautiful though Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVdaytrader Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 $85,000 ??? ... for that price you would think he would have put in a 3.4 V6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The only issues I see with buying a ‘one off’ vehicle like this is when it comes to replacement parts. The builder obviously knows what was put into it, but the buyer, especially if not mechanically inclined would probably have major issues with repair/replacement parts. At least with a factory drivetrain repair manuals are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Well with 4WD it would have a low range not fast up but pretty much go any where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 No mention of regearing. A43D automatic tranny with 4.10 Toyota diff in the back. It is not going up many of the places here in Cal I have traveled 4wd or not Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
