Just sold my running boards...WOW!

They're actually worth something! Just sold them for $60 after a couple days on Craigslist. They weren't even in great shape.

When I first took them off, I was offered around $100, but before the buyer and I could get together, I had a car accident, hit my head, and was about as intelligent as an onion for while thus I lost the first guys phone number.

Apparently they're worth up to $150. Thank god for short people.


What have you sold them for?

Same here. I have soo much stuff on CL.

I have some 31" tires for like 5 a piece and apparently thats too much. And they still have some tread left. People just want everything for free.

A little oil or bleach on the tires and facing uphill might help. Have yourself a big, gratuitous burnout with no little voice in your head telling you're wearing out your tires.

Selling my 4.10s (frt & rr) on CL now. Again, $60 ea. and I just had 2 emails asking me to call them within an hour of each other. Should have sold the rear for more like $100 though, I spent $80 getting the CBPL and backlash done about 1000mi before replacing it with 4.56s. Looking back, it was a bit of a rip off for something that takes me about 20 minutes in my shed.

$180 for stuff I was never going to use. Not bad. I think the ring gear from the rr diff would have made a cool clock- might have been difficult to hang on drywall though.
