When I first read this, I was floored.

Good luck with the sale and bump

I have already received a couple of calls, we'll see where it leads. If it doesn't sell for an appropriate price, I'll have it next season.

I still plan to wheel with you guys one way or another.

And, Josh, No I will not be building an X-90.

Good luck Seth - we'll keep spreading the word - though I wish you could keep it!

When the Deathrunner goes, I will build something else. Until then, it's still my truck, it's gonna be used the way it was intended. Tell Alex, I'll still be around. I intend to take on a new project, not to terminate the friendships that have been established.

I've made so many videos with the deathrunner, if I ever get nostalgic, I can just watch one of those. Hell, I should film a first person video on the next run.

I'm selling it and I can't stop modding it. Yes, I'm a retard.

I've got a Bud Built transfer case crossmember and skid waiting to go on, and I am replacing the allpro brake pads and rotor with new stuff. I just got done fixing the headlight combo switch and isntalling an H4 conversion kit with the 4crawler harness. I might as well enjoy this thing while I've got it.

And I thought you would still have it to swap a 3.4L in there. Guess not, though.

I couldn't imagine selling mine for any price so I can only wonder to the reasons driving you to a decision to sell. If I did sell it I would probably be prone to turn down a potential sale just because the guy drove a VW Fox.

wow... sorry to hear that ya gotta sell the truck.

My 4Runner is a long way from becoming something like the DeathRunner, but its been an inspiration for me. Lots of ideas you implemented are being "borrowed" for my 4Runner.

Last 3+ years the truck has been in the barn sitting quietly.
Married, house, kids... waiting.
I had been slowing gathering parts - but not doing any mods (other than paper mods as in plans)

I can understand your pain, I really do hope you find some way to manage financially..

BTW - one option is to stop modding it for a few years - maybe even put it in storage.
Ive been fortunate in that I had a friend who rented me storage in his barn for cheap...

Dude you're killing me. This is like watching a slow death. Stick a Sethmetal logo on the side of Deathrunner and use it as a tax write-off!!

Just get up early and deliver newspapers or something. Make more money and keep the truck.



But don't move to Arizona, we're full.

I should write into monster garage and see if they can turn the Deathrunner into a Newspaper launcher.
