Come buy my truck! It's for sale!
 
.... but not by me... lol.

I was tipped off this afternoon that some joker is trying to sell my truck. It's kinda funny, kinda sad, and kinda ridiculous.

It is funny because of how far off he is about everything. You would think if he found the photos he could find what I had done to it too.

He says 67k miles, try 140k miles.
He says King bumps, try Fox bumps.
He says 35's, try 33's.
He says Baja Wheels, try ProComp.
He says 2 15" subs, try 1 10".
He says DVD Headunit, try old Sony.
And 3500? Shoot, blue book on the truck stock is double that.

So I already emailed the guy asking for more information and pictures. We'll see if he bites.

Here is the Ad, have fun. Just be sure and post if you do anything.

zabeard 04-16-2007 03:09 PM

jtslmn720 04-16-2007 03:10 PM

Brit-ranger 04-16-2007 03:12 PM

No I'm pretty sure it is a scam. If the truck were what he says it is it would sell for 10-15grand easy. Not 3500.

That and all the info that he has that is correct is exactly what I have in my signature, everything else was a guess.

RangerJustin 04-16-2007 03:23 PM

i emailed him...asked if he would meet halfway to look at it...

Fazda 04-16-2007 06:03 PM

Did anyone notice he's trying to sell it from Las Vegas, Nevada and the truck has California plates?

rngprerunner 04-16-2007 07:00 PM

Haha.. I noticed he said Nevada but didn't even think about it having my California plates, too funny.

IR0NS1N 04-16-2007 07:04 PM

Nice, take your truck and some big guys with you, and see what happens.

I was thinking this also..

lifted97ranger 04-16-2007 07:20 PM

lol.......it isn't funny, but it is....

SouthernMudSlinger 04-16-2007 08:01 PM

IF he were to be using the pics as reference, its odd that its also a 1999 4.0.

SteveOh 04-16-2007 08:06 PM

Weird **** Right There.......I Sent Him a Email Asking if he would take 3k and if i can have a test drive

enraged_hunter 04-16-2007 08:07 PM

I flipped a ***** when I saw this on RDC, Jason. First thing I did was think, "Why the hell would he do that?" then sent the link to Alon with a big wtf behind it. Glad to hear "you" are not getting rid of her. What a stupid thing to do, I wonder what he thinks he can get out of this.

I was thinking the same thing... I still can't figure out quite how that scam works. Only thing I can think is maybe he will ask for a deposit from people then vanish with a few bucks.

Wow, bro...thats funny scheit!!!!

I say you do the above plan and watch the guy squirm.

Actually, I will be in Vegas this weekend and I could meet up with this guy and see whats up....and lay the smack down on him. Il take my buddy Joe...6'5" 285 pounds :scool:

EDIT: I just emailed him telling him that I would meet him in vegas this weekend.

01xltranger4x4 04-17-2007 12:20 PM

Wow, some people i'll tell ya.

You are probably right about the scam and deposit part, im sure thats what he'll ask for when someone says they want to buy it..

Alon 04-17-2007 02:11 PM

could also just be a way to talk to people.

If people email him to say they want the truck, then he says sorry, i dont haev the truck any more... but i do have _________ for sale if you're interested

DCRVP 04-17-2007 02:19 PM

I just clicked the link you posted and its not your truck anymore it showed up to some tires.

rngprerunner 04-17-2007 02:35 PM

Yea, the listing got removed a few hours ago after I contacted the admins on RDC.
