Well I have been on this forum for along time and really don't post any pics, of my rigs or trips and there have been many! My expo journey started with a jeep cherokee, then a wrangler with a 416 trailer. Then moved on to a comanche, these were all wheeling weekend trip rigs nothing serious. Then we bought a 4x4 van (sportsmobile) and really got the bug....being out in 46 weekends the first year we had good times for sure. As you all know after you go out so much you know what works and simply what dosen't, or better put, what not to waste your money on.
.

AFE intake- $350
Sparten Dash DAQ with 3 tunes (will do 500+hp/1000+tq to the wheels.....hence the axel wrap) $1200
51 gallon titan fuel tank-gives great range- $1100
240AMP pro-sine battery isolator- $300

ect....there is tons more!!!!
All in all it is there have been a few changes, but the end product is what worked the best. There are alot of people that say it is too tall and it does not have the capability, I just smile and go on my way. For those of you who are familiar with Montros/telluride that picture is of me coming out of the top side of poughkeepsie gulch....so I would say it gets the job done :^)
This rig is not been beat on or trashed, I do not have animals, Dont smoke, or have kids so the interior is like new, with no rips stains or funky smells. Rough math I am north of 100k in this thing, and there is no Labor in that either. Why didnt you buy a roamer people say, They are sweet rigs but are not as capable as this, and the penalty is severe if something goes south on the trail. I can tell you I know every part and piece of this truck as I built it.....I have 100's of hours in this rig and it shows. Anyone who has seen it or has been on trips with me will a-test to that. So with all of that said what is a fare price? Been really throwing this around for the last few days.
(PRICE $49k OBO partial trades possible)
I know you can find one cheaper on amazon, and your buddy just built on for a 1/4 of the price. I dont want your lunch money and you 88 crx! Please have your money in order and finances straight as I am in the Army and do not have time to play games before my upcoming deployment. The truck is in storage in alabama till friday, then it will be heading out to Idaho, so I could possibly deliver. I have huge binders, full of reciepts and maunals from all purchases. I change the oil every 3500, and fuel filters every 7000...I am fanatical about maint.
