Thanks John, I haven't really been trying to sell it. I'm actually tuning it up a bit and fixing some things..

She's still for sale and I'll be at the Jambo next weekend in JV. She'll have some new 42" Iroks on 40 bolt 17" MRT's and I put a new steering ram on last night. I've serviced all the fluids and stuff and been tuning things up for the last couple weeks. Got new rear calipers mounted so I now have 4 functioning brakes for the first time since I bought it. :laughing:

$16K without the trailer.

I remade (with Cragrats help) an new rear link to replace the thin one I folded up a few weeks ago. I put in a brand new rear driveshaft. I rebuilt the right rear shock with all new seals and o-rings and new fluid and recharged it. I also replaced the chaft and carrier as the were damaged when the link broke and the rear end went south and the frame went north.

current pics are in my photo gallery. taken today in my driveway. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/browseimages.php?do=member&imageuser=1494


I will have a bunch of shots from the hammers mixed in to the Jambo album on the Snappers site later today. I'm not sorting them out so don't ask :flipoff2: I might add a few to this gallery, but no promises.

The buggy is $16000, with nothing else and I'm keeping the roof. No spare tires, no tools. The roof is just a sheet of aluminum with rounded corners and some holes to make a new one.

I still have the car trailer, I'll let it go for $1500 extra with the buggy and the tires that are on it. They are still the flat spotted ones, but still usable, just a bit rough and on borrowed time. I will sell you at cost (I think about $80 ea) 3 brand new tires and wheels and rotate the spare on also, so you have 4 brand new tires on the trailer and 4 rough spares.

Yes, Grapenuts is still for sale. Pete's on the Rubicon this week and should be back home by next weekend.

Wow I have my own sales team :flipoff2:
Thanks Guys :beer:


Yes it's still for sale. Yes It's in Simi Valley.

The pics in post 28 (and the link in that post) are still basically current. I think they were taken right around Jambo, and I don't think I've taken it out since.

here's the new driveshaft and the link we replaced (orange) after the other one folded up. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/files/1/4/9/4/Buggy_5_03_08019_thumb.jpg (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/gallery/showimage.php?i=1313&c=member&imageuser=1494) both have one trip to the Jambo on them (Claw, Sledge, lower Jack). The beadlocks have some scratches in them now also from the same trip. It also now has a solid hardened 1.5" chromoly drag link.

The buggy is tarped and parked behind 3 vehicles in my back yard. If anyone is serious (no tire kickers) - next week I can dig it out and take whatever pictures you want.

Thanks,
Peter

Cash offers being considered... I'm looking for a down payment on a house I found and someone needs a x-mas present "for" their wife :):D

I'll be at Truckhaven for New Years and can bring the pink slip if anyone is serious.
