As you can see by this extensive parts list, no expense was spared in building this truck. Countless hours
of custom fabrication and engineering have gone into this truck to turn it into a solid trail rig that can be
driven down the street comfortably. The truck needs nothing as it sits. Fire it up and head to Moab, the
Rubicon, Baja, or the supermarket.
Asking $52,500 or best offer. This price reflects the time and effort that went into
making this a turn-key trail rig. Low ball offers will be ignored. I’m a very busy small-business owner, so
please be respectful of my time and reach out only if you’re a serious buyer
