I'm bummed about the blue unicorn. That's just a lot of rust. It'd be a year or so before I could do the SAS. Which means I'd have to fix the rusty torsion bar setup until then. Bars, SAW still has the increased spring rate bars. Adjusters and anchors are unobtainium. So if one is ufcking done it's junk yard or pack it in. Can still get bolts, saddles, and nuts. Add to that needing to do the belt, clutch, tune up, etc.... That's a lot.

I think he'd have to drop the price a lot for me to go for it.

Granted, my 2nd Gen has been in the ocean. I can't prove it. But I know it's true. And I've overcome that.

Again. If I had a solid daily, it might be a different conversation.

That sucks man, but at his price it should be at like PNW rust level. He’s asking 300% of whats appropriate with how rotten it is. He may change his tune if he drives it until that torsion bar breaks tho.

Yeah. Even with the slew of new parts. It's a $1500-2500 truck for as rotten as the frame is.

Thats is to bad but that was a lot of rust. Once the t bars gives out he can call you and then you get it for scrap pricing.

Went to the high school to see my oldest daughter's carpentry class for their open house. Tinkered around with her, making headers for the windows and doors for the playhouse they're building.

Then ran a few errands and cleaned the garage. It's raining now so now for some more Voyager and possibly a nap.

So this couple was playing golf and got on the green. The woman walked up and saw a frog so of course she picked it up.

The frog said, I'm a magic frog and I'll grant you three wishes. She was flabbergasted but said, Wow, ok. But, the frog said, there's a catch.
Everything you wish for your husband gets 10 fold. Hmm, ok she says, we've been together forever and love each other.

So what's your first wish?
I want to be the richest woman in the world. The frog warned her husband would be 10x richer, she again says that's fine they love each other and would never separate. Poof her and her husband were filthy rich.

And how about that 2nd wish, she thought a moment and said, I'd like to be the prettiest woman in the world.
Well, you know your husband will be 10x more handsome and will have women all over him.
I don't mind she says, we love each other.

The frog says for your last wish be careful and think before you speak..what would you like?

She thought long and hard and smiled. I'd like a mild heart attack!
