Sadly due to regulations in our community this truck is not allowed and we are forced to sell it.

I had to move this from our location as it is not allowed in our neighborhood. I had done quite a bit of work already to it but I wanted to put a new air filter and some more gas in it for a new owner, after getting the air filter I started to drive over for gas and as I pulled out the truck the spider gears and rear carrier broke, I put it on a trailer and took it out to another location. Engine under 3000 miles as well as trans. You cannot build this truck for under $20k.

Take note that I removed the chunks out of the rear and it can still be driven onto a trailer.


The bad is the rear spider gears and carrier need replaced

Stereo amp removed fuse as the wiring needs fixed or amp replaced

Air compressor was working for rear air bags and has now stopped, I have not tested why yet as we had to move it that night from our home to another location and I have not been back out to check it.


I cannot verify the condition of this vehicle, that is up to the buyer, I have done my best to describe it the best that I can which includes checking what I have. There are no warranties and the vehicle is sold as is where as. I have only owned this truck for 2 months and only drove it from a little less than a month. I went through the truck and replaced anything that I found was needed to make it safe to drive and anything that needed replaced that I found. On a title check you can see an odometer issue, I know of none, it was most likely an error but in any event what is most important is to know that the gauges were replaced and do not represent the vehicle mileage, the gauges do however represent the engine/trans mileage. Often times when an odometer rolls over it may get the 1 missed in front of the other 5 numbers or some only have 5 numbers and thus possibly that owner did not notice. I cannot say, just commenting on what I see on the title/vehicle history and wanted to be clear about it as there is nothing hidden I say that because the factory dash is not in the truck other then the vin number section, the rest was covered with a custom made dash, custom switches, and custom shark digital gauges.

Truck must be sold, as much as I would love to keep it we are not allowed to store it at our home.

Truck has a clear title and is registered in my name, street legal.

Seats could use to be replaced and would look really good with a set of 4 recaro or corbeau bucket seats in it. I had many things I was going to do with it but sadly it must go and I must move on.

When it was drivable (rear axle not having problems) it ran and drove perfect and was very fun to drive. If you do NOT like attention then this is not the truck for you, I say this because everyone will stop and talk to you about it, everyone will stare at it, everyone will point at it, so if you do like attention this is the truck for you.


Please no games, vehicle must go and must be paid for right away as we are looking to purchase a home and need it to be sold right away.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
