Today's Craigslist Highlights...Pt 2

Cheap enough, and that's a SAS candidate. If the title isn't salvage, it might work. I've used a frame shop before, and it's amazing what can be done. If you are linking a front axle with adjusters, I would bargain that getting the frame extremely close would be more than enough to have it track correctly. Trying to put IFS back on....not a chance I would touch that. It would appear they tagged a telephone pole right on the quarter panel and bypassed the frame itself, but mangled the suspension. I think the torsion bar mount in the back is probably pushed....but look, no broken windshield, passenger door looks okay, and the a pillar looks okay too. Trick is, what's "cheap" enough....

IIRC Slee mentioned that when he built the Blueberry SAS 100 he would have preferred doing it to a perfectly straight truck instead of one that had been wrecked. And the truck they started with wasn't nearly as damaged as this one.

So since it was on craigslist wednesday it has gotten a thousand more miles and $5,000 more expensive. Was originally listed for $4,900.

Or you could buy this for 10k.

Big difference between a slee swap and that 80, and I'm not referring to $20k. Look at his center console and seat. You think any other corners were cut?
Also a HUGE difference between an 06 cruiser and a 91. Never said a SAS would be easy on that 06, nor the body. Heck, if they guy let it go for $5k, that's a whopping $25k below retail on a perfect one. Doing a SAS kills that value for all but a handful of buyers anyway, so why not start with one that already has issues?

Very true - was only joking. But $3k of beer sounds nice regardless...

No pics, eh?

You have to go to the eBay link in the ad for pics. The price seems low for what it is, but hard to say. It probably runs and drives but it's hard to say how much of the rest of the truck works (speedo, gauges, etc.). The interior looks rough, but nothing that couldn't be fixed.

 

[Townsend]

Always thought one of these All-Tracs would make a great year round DD for cheap...anyone ever had one? I could even put the pup in the back...and obviously it's a chick magnet...

That's Ian's 100, he's a cruiser guy and his stuff is well maintained.

ROKON 2X2 Trail Breaker

http://rockies.craigslist.org/snw/5087259883.html

are these as much fun as they look???

 

[60wag]

Not 8500$ worth of fun. They are more of a utility tractor than a recreational trail bike.

[wesintl]

Problem with those Rokon's is they only go ~20mph. I think some go up to 35. IMHO it's kinda a specialty item that would be most useful on private land where you can do what you want off trail.

Did he just go back on his word? Or blow you off?

Bummer

 

[Townsend]

Can this be written off as a club expense? Maybe as a transport to and from the bar for the monthly meetings?

Went back on his word. Agreed on a price and he was going to deliver it. Less than 24 hours before it was going to be in my driveway, he said he got a better offer so he took it.

I asked what was the deal going back on his word, he said we didn't have a signed bill of sale so he could do whatever he wanted.

Would not want to deal with someone like that, imagine what he had not told me about the truck....
