While the project was fun and I've enjoyed the truck very much. just time to move on. Renown Corvette guru Doug Rippie of DRM pulled the 4. 8l originally motor in this truck at 149K and replaced it with a brand new (not remanufactured) crate engine. There was a mild cam installed. as well as a Corsa exhaust and of course Doug's special-sauce tuning. All I can say is WOW. did this truck come alive! I'm the second owner and bought the truck from the original owner (my brothers best friend) who is more finantical than me. I have a folder with every receipt and piece of work done to this truck since day one. Never smoked in and never ever abused. the trucked lived it's entire life in Florida until last year when I drove it home and brought it to Doug to start the conversion. I'd have no reservation driving his truck anywhere. No MN winters. it went right into storage well before snow season. The truck did get one paint job. which was an okay. I've since had $2K. yes $2000. 00 in wet sanding and detailing done to it's paint so it looks AMAZING. I get so many compliments on how this truck looks. its crazy nice. Here's a brief listing of the things that are front of mind…. New over sized brakes couple thousand miles ago New Corsa Exhaust $2K No smokers Two owners Alpine stereo Mild cam new (loaps nice) Brand New Z06 corvette engine $10K Original truck intake for more torque New Wrangler tires from Tires plus w/warr Extensive paint work $2K spray in bedliner tinted windows 2" lift? ~ 400hp w/410 ft/lb full receipts since day one ownership Why am I selling it? I buy cars all the time and enjoy them until it's boring and move onto something different. I've always wanted to try this sort of conversion and have something entirely unique. I have 5 vehicles now and it's time to move a couple down the road. I just bought a hemi modified Jeep wrangler so I'm excited to start driving that now. It's just time. Please take a hard look at the paint and reflections in the pictures. the paint is mirror-like. Hit me with any questions. but expect delays as work is quite busy these days. I'll try to answer every question as quickly and thorough as possible. I'm not a mechanic so I will not be able to answer things like specs on cam. etc. Happy bidding… the buyer will be ecstatic to own such a unique 4x4 truck. Tony
