mattb19 10-14-2005, 07:43 AM Man I was just thinking that I am am gonna try and build a rig very similar to yours. Ever since I saw it down at the Chile Challenge I wanted to get rid of my buggy and go back to the joys of the tacoma. Then I thought man I wish you would just put your rig up for sale so that I could just have yours.
To bad it is out of the price that I was looking to spend. I am sure you will sell it, it is one well equiped rig.

It could, it would need a couple things.
Balance the tires
balance driveshafts
right now it vibes pretty good ~50
However I cant say I would recommend it. Being bright yellow might attract the police a bit, and the tires are over 1/2 out of the fenders. Depending on your local, that may/may not be an issue. Here in CO, cops pretty much dont care.

Damn. Oh well. Sweet ass rig though. I wish I had the money and that it could be my daily driver. Good luck selling it. Don't sell it to some bozo loser who will just trash it. I want to see that rig stay clean but get used.

red90runner 10-14-2005, 08:08 PM Can you post/put me in the right direction where I could see some more pics of that flat bed. It is really nicely done! I would love some closeup shots and better views of it. Thanks
Brian Ellinger 10-16-2005, 01:44 PM The bed is very simple, Ill see if I can get some pics showing it a little better for you.

Dirty Harry 12-05-2005, 05:12 PM Do I get a percentage of the profits from the sale? :flipoff2: At least give me the first shots of the new rig when you build it!

All I know is someone said "NOBODY EAT THE PURPLE ACID"
Then I found Brian doing this. Must have been too late....
Coffee Boy 04-20-2006, 06:44 AM I am eating breakfast right now. Wheat chex with 2% milk. When I saw nobody has bought this yet, I spit milky chex paste all over the keyboard at my office. So yet again my secretary will be complaining about her keyboard being sticky. For the first time, I can honestly tell her it was just spilled milk. Thanks PBB.
custom01 04-20-2006, 11:06 AM is this the short bus off slee
SWAMPZR2 04-20-2006, 07:41 PM Lots of $$ in this rig. Can't believe you did all that work to a 1999. Is it even paid off yet?
Infernal Jeep 04-21-2006, 12:17 AM :smokin:
paulwhat 04-22-2006, 03:32 PM nice
Coffee Boy 04-26-2006, 06:59 AM While sitting under a tree, please refrain from shitting your pants.
Bump for a great truck.
Brian Ellinger 04-27-2006, 03:24 PM Not the short bus, that was an fj80.
Yes the rig was paid off when we bought it. It was bought and built for research, and product developement, and fun. Its been built twice (37's, and 42's) We are not including any of the previous axle builds, etc.
Its a heck of a fun rig, but we need to sell it free up some capital for rapidly approaching projects, so make a serious offer if you are interested. Serious offer, not an insult, thank you.
Brian Ellinger 04-29-2006, 01:31 PM To ebay we go!
Infernal Jeep 05-01-2006, 01:15 AM Good luck on e-bay.
jrizman 06-21-2006, 07:32 PM Brian,
