No problem. I will PM you my cell #, the only thing I can recommend is you sending that body and front bumper to me to "stress" test it.

The dude that put the shell on the body did a great job. The seams are barely visible.

No problem, you'll be the first to know. I had bought the bruiser/tlt from rbgerrish but, my little girl has taken it over. She loves to drive it. I've had to replace the jeep body I put on it because she cracked it down the middle. She's only 4.

You are lucky we like you. Badger and I were on the phone one night and we both saw you had the high bid on it. He dared me to outbid you, but I just couldn't do it!

Very nice find! Whoever did the bodywork did a very nice job. Is that 4ws I see peeking out of the rear? :?

Talk about some steep driveshaft angles though...

Have fun with it!

It does have 4ws. I'll run it and see if slider angles need some work. I might have to lower it some.

I was trying to deal with him offline. I thought 450 was a bit high at the time. The truck looks good though.

I think $450 was a good deal for a bruiser chassis'ed custom TLT. That custom body alone is worth some cash.

I guaranty Bracysdad could turn around and sell that rig tomorrow for at least $450.

I don't deny that. At the time I had 350 to spend. I am glad I waited because I picked up a clod RTR for 375.
