Bought a Taco

[FJAggie07]

Ah HA! Finally a trip in which I did NOT Break anything! GRanted I only got to wheel a day before getting the call that the daughter was sick and packing up and headed to town, but it was a decent day!







Ol Fugly didn't fare to bad either:



Yes that is a 40" LED Light bar on Fugly for those who didn't see it in Clayton, kinda like putting a tuxedo on a turd, but was my Mom's anniversary present to my Dad and it is badass!

[RCcola55]

all that $$$ and still a square driveshaft, keepin it klassy

[FJAggie07]

I do what I can.

[FJAggie07]

Busted the other chromoly off brand birf that was still in tact down at k2. I had replaced the other with a longfield and was just waiting for this one to blow before I thre my spare longfield in it. Now I have longs in both sides and we will see how long it lasts...

Bitch is for sale, you want it let me know. Need to free up funds for future projects

The things needs nothing to be a trailer queen, throw a new cab on it and you have yourself a DD that can tackle some damn fine trails out there with AC and Heat.

[BroncoJo]

Price? Sam?

[FJAggie07]

Still trying to figure out a formula to determine that.

[sam_hodnett]

once again, I want it more than you know, but funds are probably not going to allow it

[FJAggie07]

Put Together a Little Formula for determining Asking Price. Take the KBB Fair Value + 60% of the selling price of all the parts. The breakdown with a link to everything is below. Setting the asking price at $11K.

This is a pretty cool rig, but $11K is way over priced. I know you have a lot of cool guy parts on it, but that doesnt mean ****, most buyers in the market of buying a dedicated trail rig would want something more in the tube buggy class for that kind of cheddar. Forget what you spent on parts, they lost their value as soon as you opened the box. If you cut your asking price in half you might be a little closer to the ballpark if you are really wanting to sell this rig.

[Shaggy]

with that kind of math I could have gotten 30K for my bronco

[Shaggy]

and I know I would be lucky to sell my jeep for bluebook
