nice find!

[kms_dude1]

wanna sell the cab bracketS? i know someone that needs them

[TA^Guy]

Any much of the Xtreme parts left you want to get rid of, like maybe the front airdam? BTW, that is a good deal.

[electrostompbox]

well part of the cheap deal was that it had no front air dam, however i do have the drivers side skirts and mounts, and i should be taking off the steps soon because im not using them

[electrostompbox]

should be starting on my truck within this month hopefully, i finally got a job at autozone so hopefully i can order my stuff!

[electrostompbox]

update: heres just some random pics of the truck and its condition, tell if you think it was worth $500
































yay crack

[Merritj2417]

hell yeah it's worth every penny of $500, how does it run?

[electrostompbox]

well the starter locked up so i couldnt start it for a few weeks and once i changed it i noticed from sitting in the sun the gas got bad, but the more ive been running it the better it gets, besides the sound of no muffler id say it runs really, good, no noise, squeks squeals or nothing, i noticed i may have a short circuit somewhere cuz when my keys are out if i hit the brakes my dash lights come on lol, ut still every truck has its problems, ask my friend badnoma16 on here, he HATES his 2.2 with a living passion lol

[chevystorm6]

i hate his 2.2 also
