Hate to say it but he'll have to find someone with more $$$ than sence to buy that for what he has invested.

Guy that came to one of our club days had put a Lexus v8 in a surf, rear locker open front, lift and 35" Simexs and it went anywhere. Reckons he had spent $6k total on it (must have done alot of the work himself though). Awesome wagon.

I could build my Prado back up to what it is now, for less than $15K

For the BUY NOW price I'd want one hell of a lot more than the pretty's on offer - lotsa dollars spent but still running leaf spring suspension, and no mention of lockers, hardcore CV's/axles, dual transfercase, snorkel, etc, etc.

No crossover stearing, axel not oved foward, No mention of difflocks, longfields? all the good stuff that mite make it worth half what he is asking

That's what I was thinking, hence asking if he was on OE.......It's a cool truck and all.......but it seems to have been built with little direction. hope that does'nt offend anyone :roll:

sent a question, any lsd or locker in the rear, reply was it doesnt need one, spins the wheels on tarseal!!!

swampa · Post by **swampa** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 11:05 am

somebody has put in a bid for 15k, must be a mate jacking the price up.

I'll put money on it he's a young clown with money from the parents or they are garintors.... when I was sharing a shed with a crowd of boy racers I seen this alot, well not this far but same thing
I'm guessing it is an attempt to make a four runner, the idea that all you have to do is lift it run big tires and a big motor, there is no experiance behind any of the decisions just what looks good and what bolt on bits make the motor go faster
I'll put money on it that his previous project was an integra or something similar

and the mods were all done in a comercail shop hence the big price $6000 for the bar work :lol:

alright it is alloy but why throw that sort of money for super light bar work, (still way to much) when you haven't got the steering or handling sorted

:lol:

I do kinda know the guy selling this wagon thru business contacts

think he blew the budget big time :shock:

woundn't think him to be a boy racer

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 7:32 pm

wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong..... just makes ya wonder when he's spent all that money on a panel job and bar work yet the syspension is minimal and he hasn't done anything to the steering or diffs

Still wouldn't pay that much for it, hell I wouldn't expect to get that much for the Lemon if it was finished and its gona be way past what he's done

Cheers Reece
