That's why you put a big sticker on it saying that it's your truck.

I'd buy it if I had the money. Its a proven truck that is ready to pull with a little minor work. Hiow much do you think it would be selling for ready to run? What more could you ask for?

Did you see it needs a new motor??? Bottom end trouble!

Granted for 30K plus a motor you'd still be very competitive and have less in it that you could build one Although with air ride I'd think twice about not daily driving it

Maybe I'll sell my JD 4020 and buy that truck to pull cedar trees on the farm.

Sounds like we got a couple whiners. Whats the big deal with buying it? No matter how hard he hammered it, when it broke he put something stronger in. Now that it is broke again he has been up front and said it needs a motor. It is not like the damage is hidden.

What do you mean whiners, Am I whining that it is for sale? Am I whining that I can't afford it? You tell me who is whining and what about? I am simply sayin I woulden't want a truck that someone else made famous, And it is public information that the engine is messed.

I don't see the bids piling up too fast. This is a very limited market item. Valuable to the right people and only to the right people.

Wow, almost 900hp with the stock intake horn--imagine how much more power a Bank$ high-ram would give it! (sorry, couldn't resist)

it'll be interesting to see what the new owner does with the rig.

Dude, there is no reason to make personal insults!

I was simply stating the fact that the truck was built for something other than what 99% of the fellas here would use it for and unless someone wanted to do the same thing it would be silly to purchase. Although anyone who wanted to do the same should probably have the $$$ to create their own monster, not buy someone elses.

Take a chill pill man! Have some decaf! And relax!

A vehicle that well known,
the "trademarked" name doesn't go along with the sale,
the sponsors don't come along with the sale,
it would have been much better to just part the truck out, retire it.
