i know what you mean corey, building them is all the fun but i wouldnt sell it, you know as soon as it leaves your driveway youll be wishing it was back, heres a good question, how much do you think you has invested in this? and how much would you really get out of it?
But I would re-visit the latter offer possably

I just found this thread about a week ago and I've finally finished reading all of it. This has to be the best rebuild/restore I've ever seen. It's simply amazing what you have done to this truck, you basically built it from scratch and it's better than new! This one will last a LONG time, if it were me I could never consider selling it after all that work. Congrats on the wins at the shows. If I'm ever up in BC I'm tracking you down so I can see it in person LOL.

I just read the ENTIRE thread and might I say... Well done!
It really makes me want to buy a 1st gen (Pickup or Trekker) and do a frame off restoration/build up! I just gotta wait until a good deal comes up and I make the purchase!
Also, not sure if I missed it, but what lift do you have on this?

sun was out , and wanting to change the oil , today was the day ... She didnt really need it , but , what the hell , see deserves it

drained the old stuff , and super surprised .
She has been sitting for 4 months with not turning over the engine once . I figured the oil filter would be empty , as "everyone" says there oil filters empty out . I know, and have known for many years the OE filters have the anti drain valve , but ya here so many stories .
Well i'm here to tell you , in my case , 4 months of sitting , the filter was still FULL ... this is EXACTLY I will never use any other oil filter



well , now with the sun shinin' I'm really wantin' to get her out of the "vault"
