Lovely, please someone on here must buy it.

[Predictable Bob]

Apart from the engine, crap colour, poor fitting ragtop and the use of the word 'monster' is there anything wrong with it ?

[nero279]

mate, that thing is gorgeous, yeah it might only have a 2litre petrol lump, that can be remedied though. and the colour might not be to everyones taste... but if that was solid axle rather than IFS....

[Predictable Bob]

It was actually a serious question - there could be some glaring issues in those pics but I'd still miss them .....

I'd LOVE to have a toy like that !

[nero279]

oh ok...

dunno, the photo's ain't the best for showing what's been done underneath, and it's a 20 year old motor so it's going to need "maintenanace".

There appears to be some interesting fabrication around the lower wishbones, which to me is a good thing, shows that at least some thought and work has gone into the suspension lift. The rear is sitting on twin shocks and as it's leaf sprung it's fairly easy to lift fom what i understand, so not too much to go wrong there. and there's no tell tale signs of a huge bodylift at all. All in all it looks like a really nice truck to me, but the puicture are never gonna tell the full story, and i definately wouldn't bid without going and giving it a good look over first. Looking for signs of rot and filler etc under the non-original paintwork and so on, but definately worth a good look.

Not much, you'll hate the tyres, boggers are no fun to travel any distance on! I hope its regeared, cos my 2.0 won't do more than 55ish on 33's unless its down hill, and they look like 35's at least, although my motor is carbed, that looks injected.

2nd gen center consol is nice, I might do that to mine.

The colour is OK, but I glad I bought a Can-Back, instead of that type of top.

[Predictable Bob]

Unfortunately even with the cashback from HMRC there's no way I can afford a toy at the moment - unless I can sell a teenager or three ........

Anybody want a 15 year old ? Choice of three, one male, one female and one skateboarder !

Think my wife would notice it outside the house?

Just needs another 1000cc's and I'd snap it up.

2.8 fourtrack diesel transplant???

[KERRSURF]

I'm watching just in case it falls within budget...

[Apache]

Its lovely!

I'd have it if I had some space. Keep it garaged and just run it on sunny days topless - the truck, not me!
