I'm guessing they're Denhams? They went belly up yrs ago, but made some cool tires. Ground Hawgs were their main tire iirc.

 

he never told us what he paid for it i hope it wasnt 8k.....

 

You know, I didn't give it much thought but they have been regrooved, haven't they? Yes Ground Hawgs, and they're Denham branded also, so guess that they were made before Interco/Super Swamper bought them.

No, I didn't. I paid the full asking price of $8500 plus airfare and shipping because there were 4 guys right behind me who would've as soon as they got their hands on the cash. Bought new, there is more than half that amount in just aftermarket parts with/on it.

This was after months of religiously watching every Craigslist board in the country on Searchtempest and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. If you find me another 4runner with 27k for less than twice that maybe I'll have some buyers remorse. Probably not though.

 

Mine came out awesome at first but it didn't hold up. Lasted about four years. Doesn't like to come on contact with oil. Yeah it was the diesel. Spent the better part of last winter fixing the rust of the back half.

 

what kind of "gears" did this thing come with (the extras?).

 

Bummer man, rust is definitely the worst aspect of driving in the northeast. I almost didn't want to buy anything too nice to avoid feeling bad about driving it in the winter and destroying a piece of Yota history Bedliner and bar oil it is...

Believe it has 5.29's in it now and it came with a couple other sets.

 

the other sets are what id be interested in, any 4.88 part times/opens or something close? i need a set. would you be interested in selling em if you do have a set?

 

I still need to sort through them and make sure I have a setup that will work well with 31's. That's something I won't know if I want to get rid of until I start work on it in the spring.

What part of vermont are you in. I used to live in WRJ but just bought a house in enfield, NH. let me know if you have any cool parts you want to get rid of.

 

^i call dibbs if you wana sell any gears lol. just let me know what you have when you get around to it

 

Just moved over the river then? I'm contemplating a similar move in the coming years, but in Mt Holly now. Maybe I'll hit you up for some good trails on the other side come springtime, although nothing too extreme for this truck yet... Keep y'all posted on parts when I get to them.
