Trade the wheels out for Dayton wire wheels.

I really wasn't feeling the wheels but for the money it don't look like a bad deal.

gross. i'd be leery of buying any vehicle when the owner states it needs new plugs/wires without replacing them himself beforehand.





Check out my build thread!

Putting the exterior gripes aside... any time someone says "needs a tune up" or "just needs plugs and wires" you walk away. That means it's sputtering, misfiring, or otherwise running rough and they want to throw out a "cheap and easy" fix idea. You bring plugs and wires and tell them you want to replace them before buying the truck, just to make sure that's the issue. If it doesn't fix the problem, you're out $50 at the very very most to not make a $2000 mistake.

I had a woman say "oh it's bogging down so bad because it just needs some fuel injector cleaner run through it, my husbands a mechanic, he told me so" when I was looking at her car. I simply walked away. I told her "If your husband is a mechanic, he wouldn't have let half of these issues get neglected for so long, and if it were a magical fix in a $5 can, you would have done it already. I'm not even comfortable making an offer at half your asking price to take a gamble on a driveability issue" Sorry but sellers are shady and I don't feel bad at all protecting myself or calling them out on BS.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Jl... you have a good point. Im looking for a full sized truck i think at this point (unless i found a good deal on a 4x4 mini) so i was just seeing other peoples reactions. I would still snatch up a ZR2 IFFF i could find it at a decent price. (ZR2 S-10, not blazer. though i think those are nice too.. i just want a bed)

HAHAHA!! OH YEAH! GET THIS!

I don't know how may people here remember when my tranny went out and i was on the frits about getting rid of my car. WELLL.... i obviously got my tranny fixed(and if anyone remembers me writing about it).

WELL my one headlight was out before i sent it in and i was just too busy to rip it apart and mess with the wires and stuff. WELLL i got pulled over about 2 or 3 weeks ago for my headlight being out. I got a warning to fix it in 5 days. WELLL i went to go fix it and realise my damn HID ballast is gone for that side of my car!

SOOOO I'm thinking the dudes that did my tranny ripped the damn thing off and didnt tell me or put it back in my car...... which isnt cheap.... fml. lol

It was a little while ago and i just realised it..... blah i dunno. I dont know if i can just buy a single HID ballast? I mean 100 bucks is nothing for me with my new job but if i dont have to i dont want to. Plus i'm trying to move out from home closer to my work.

You should be able to buy just one ballast just email or call whoever you bought it from and ask.
