Dude you should so buy it!

 

no

 

Maybe not for 2k but nonetheless its got a lot of work done to it.

 

its been sittin for sale for awhile now....couple months....maybe theres a reason for it
buttttt....it would be awesome to have that!!! should i make an offer?

 

i dont trust bag jobs just me... its like buying an sas truck never know some times

 

Check the welds. Check for leaks. Drive it. Drag it.

 

that kinda looks like another truck on here

 

kinda looks like a POS to me...

 

why you say that??

 

Oh I don't know maybe because it's three different shades of black, or because he can't even maintain the crap under the tonneau cover.
Could also be because it looks like it's just plain tired.

Wonder if it leaks???

Fair shape after you get to work on them for a few hours.

What else has been half arsed???

You could say that again.

His gain a suckers loss.

Me neither!

Not to sound so down about it, but it seems more a truck for that poor high school kid that has no money and wants to impress his g/f. Besides that the truck needs way to much money and time dumped into it to make a nice truck.

I love the old school thing but only if something is fully restored and done right. Not my dad's old truck that has been in the barn for 15yrs before I washed it and slammed/jacked it up.

 

Id get it dude, nice little project where you can go over everything and clea it up and what not, plus a longbed looks t!ts layed out......

 

rice a roni trucks don't do it for us Midwesterners.

 

I say toss up 1500. Could be a lot of fun.

 

i never got to see it :/

 

i would offer him $200, then run it over

 

idk what happend? he took it off craigslist. he just emailed me though and said 1800 is the lowest he will go.

 

Its still on craigslist for me.

 

Its been removed. I would stay away from Craigs List, lots of shady *** people and tons of scammers out there. Be warned.

 

ive never bought anything on there.....there does seem like a lot of shady people on it

 

I've sold and bought a few vehicles on Craigslist and Kijiji with no problems.

I didn't get to see the Ranger in question, but being a minitrucker myself, I don't trust 99% of DIY bag jobs as the majority are hack jobs. Even bag jobs from "reputable" shops can be hacks.

A good friend of mine builds air ride trucks out of his garage and he does some really good work.

Word to the wise: If you want to buy a truck that is bagged and the exterior and interior look hacked,poorly done or in plain bad shape, do not expect the mechanicals,electrical or suspension system to be any better.

Once you get into an electrical mess,it's almost game over and time to restart.

Bagged trucks are fun, and I love lowered and lifted trucks, but for me when it comes to suspension mods, I like a nice low static drop or a nice mild lift.

 

yea i dont think im going to get it. ive drove past that truck a few times and it didnt look in all of that great shape. no wonder its been for sale for MONTHS.....maybe a year now. o well maybe ill find something else..
