looks cool, and with a set of boggers it would be even better. For $2500 i'd buy it.

Can't really tell in the picture...but can you see out of the rear? It'd be a lot harder to see stuff if it is solid.

Ditch the wood panels and wheel...new suspension...some good tires and you should have a nice mud-buggy.

Lockers?
Engine mods?
x-sfer case gears?
Rust?
Quality of Cab Backwall?

Things to look at/for.

I've got a lot more done to mine and wouldn't dream of asking 2500 for it. For that price it should already have 33"Boggers, lockers front and rear and maybe even a 4.1 t-case. Way too much money IMO. You can find them for cheaper and build it for a lot less.

I think your right Halffastford, but if he dont have time or the skills to build one this isnt too bad. Besides if he buys this one for around 3000.$ that makes the market better for when we sell ours:)
