HELL YEAH!!!



So on my old route this truck sat under a pine tree for almost a year, all season tires, flat, ARB winch bumper and rusted up Warn.
A inch of pine needles covered the whole truck.
I deliver to the guys house a couple of times..."I need to put a note on his door asking if he wants to sell that Rover" I say to myself.
But just like going to the gym...I'll do it next time.
Then I get a different route, total opposite direction of this truck.
The guy who took my route is on spring break, so I say hell yeah I'll run my old route, 6 days of work, $$$.
I see the truck sitting in the parking lot of a old service station, for you young guys thats where you used to buy gas, they pumped it for you, changed your oil and did car repairs as well as had a tow truck.
So I stop, talk to the mechanic, young guy, knows nothing about LR's.
"I just bought it, put new door latches in it ($5 spring if you're in the know), I'm going to drive it for the summer I think and then sell it."
Me-"How much you thinking?"
Him-"Oh, I dont know, $600-700, it runs and drives"
Me-"I just want a parts truck for mine, heres my name and number, call me when you're ready to sell"

Talked to my wife after I got home, she rolled her eyes and said I was hopeless.
Now I just need to wait for a phone call.

Cross your fingers ladies and gentlemen!!!!

Its a '95 with 212k and auto trans and cloth seats.

 

Nice...I need to find one like that I can park and use for parts.

 

Shoot, I'll pay $601! Haha sucks to have to hurry up and wait. But it'll be worth it once you have a parts truck where the bumper nearly pays for itself. By the way, what do you want for the bumper of your future parts truck?

 

$602. Lol

 

Haha too rich for my blood!

 

Fk u... I'm trying to get that bumper right now.

Wana sell the bumper to me for 500$?? Before
I go back home let me know!! Tell your wife it's now only 100$ for the disco! And I'll give you my bare stock
Bumper

 

Spike, I would go back with money in hand, he'll most likely sell it on the spot.

 

Sorry Spence, the whole reason I want the truck is the bumper and HD springs.
I am thinking of swapping parts from my truck to it and then selling it.
I already offered him $200 and my old bumper and brush guard for the ARB bumper.
He said he just wants to sell the whole truck and not mess with it.
IF I get it I will see whats good on it and go from there.

 

Thats what I'm thinking, only problem is I dont have the cash laying around, I can get it, but I dont have it.

 

Bugger....how come nothing like that happens to me?
Been looking for an ARB winch bumper for my wife's '97. Don't need a heavy duty bumper but want to mount an extra winch I have. Figured an ARB would be perfect.

Maybe you'd be interested in an Warn 8274 in trade for it?
