So i checked out a truck that had a body lift but it looked like slightly jerry-rigged. The body mounts looked fine but there were spacers on the bed between the actual mounts. Basically the bed and frame were bolted AND welded together. Ima try n check it out again tomorrow and get a better look at it. But besides the issues i mentioned, how hard is it to undo a body lift? What should i look for with the body lift situation? The rest of the truck looks good minus the paint(its jut fugly) the lift is the only thing tha has me trippin.
Depending on how it was used the floor can be trashed around the mounts. My widest truck was beat on pretty good before I got it so I had to plate the floor due to the cab rocking back and forth on the taller mounts.
Ok well il look out for that. The owner said it had been like that for 9 years. Alot can happen in that amount of time
It's easy to spot the floor damage from top or bottom. Her carpet was pushed up about an inch above the forward mounts.
Thanks bro. N seeing as i finally got rid of the nissan im looking around for good deals. This one was cool cuz it was a longbed. Having the extra space out back is nice. So lets see how it goes
the one im looking at is a single cab long bed. it runs so smooth. everything feels firm. throttle response is awesome. im really considering it just need a bit more $$. only thing that has me worried was that the dude didnt wana take it to get smogged before the transfer. atleast he agreed to take it to my mechanic before the deal is done. im just trying to cover my @ss on this one. done wana buy something and not be able to register like the last POS i bought. lets see how sh!t plays out
Didnt get any pics. I dont wana get u guys too excited if the deal aint for sure. Hopefully tomorrow il talk to the owner so we can take it to get smogged n go from there. Im guna park it for a few days if i get it, so i can start some slight modifications. I dont want to drive it the way it currently looks. Lol
By law he has to present a current smog certificate at time of purchase if you ask for it. Transfer of registration and smog cert.
Thats exactly what i told em but hes broke n blah blah blah. I just wana know that its guna pass BEFORE i actually buy it. My mechanic is guna run it on their dyno n if it passes then done deal
Wwwoooooowwww...., so i call the owner this morning to see when we could meet up at the shope and see wasup, and this dilhole tells me that he sold the truck yesterday for 1300 when we had already made arrangements n i was guna buy it from him for a few hundred more. Pist off that i didnt get a call from him YESTERDAY to tell that he sold it even thoni had already called dibs on it. Im guessing he didnt wana deal with the drama of taking it to get smogged even though legally he would have to do it and i was willing to pay for it. Maybe he knew it wouldnt pass and he didnt wana look like a liar. Fckit whatever, ima keep searching. /rant
Sorry bro, that sucks. Should drive by his house and see if its still there? If it is go to the door and when he answers sock him in his nuts. when he says why did you do that say you know why and walk away!!!!! HAHAHAHAAH. What are you looking for and price range so i can keep an eye out for ya?
