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.

This week in EVs: Electric Jeeps, Chevy Equinox, reborn VW bus

Sun, Sep 11 2022

There's going to be tons of car news next week as the Detroit Auto Show makes its return after 48 years. OK, so the pandemic and the show's shifting calendar only made it feel like 48 years, but January 2019 was still a long time ago. As we await that wave of headlines, let's look back at the substantial week that already was, specifically in terms of the electric car news that broke. Electric Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S blaze trail to brand's EV future Jeep declared Thursday to be 4xe Day as it revealed loads of previously unknown information about its future electrification efforts. The biggest surprise was the extremely cool and 100% electric Jeep Recon. Although it looks like a Wrangler, it's absolutely not a Wrangler replacement, and is indeed quite different for reasons besides its powertrain (independent front and rear suspension, fully enclosed fenders, fixed roof). As the photos attest, though, you'll be able to remove the doors and rear-quarter windows just like a Wrangler. And again, it's electric. Expect the Recon to be one of the most eagerly anticipated new vehicles over the next couple of years. Yes, years, plural. Production will start in 2024 with reservations accepted starting early next year. Jeep Recon View 5 Photos   There was then the Wagoneer S. Despite the name, it isn't a sportier Wagoneer variant or even an electric Wagoneer. In fact, the name is temporary according to chief designer Ralph Gilles. This sleek SUV, which sure looks like Jeep's attempt at a Range Rover Vilar (not a bad thing), will apparently have a 600-horsepower electric powertrain. It too will be produced in North America starting in 2024 with reservations starting early next year. Jeep Wagoneer S View 4 Photos   There actually WILL be an electrified Wagoneer, however: the Grand Wagoneer 4xe PHEV. That's good since the Grand Wagoneer gets pretty atrocious fuel economy. Details were light regarding specs, but we did get a half-decent photo. Finally, the first of these electrified Jeeps to launch will be the Avenger. Yes, Chrysler/Stellantis is dusting off an old Dodge name for a Jeep. That Dodge in question wasn't sold in Europe, though (good for them), which is important since the Jeep Avenger will only be sold on the other side of the pond. It's mechanically based on the same platform as several French Stellantis EV SUVs, and only goes 249 miles on the far more generous European WLTP test cycle.

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt

Thu, Feb 26 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.

Chevy Bolt EV's battery shows big improvements over Spark's

Mon, Jan 11 2016

Plug-in vehicle battery technology moves fast, and all you need to do to see this in action is to take a look at the new 60-kWh lithium-ion pack inside the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Well, you need to do that and then compare it to the battery packs inside of GM's other plug-in vehicles. And you don't even to go as far back as the EV1 to see progress. Let's start with what we know about the new Bolt's pack. It is supposed to drive the Bolt EV over 200 miles on a full charge. It weighs 960 pounds and is made up of 288 cells. Chevy's other all-electric car, the limited-availability Spark EV, had a 19-kWh pack and offered 82 miles of range. It had 192 cells and weighed 474 pounds. So, in the few years since the Spark EV was released, GM engineers have figured out how to get three times the energy capacity and almost two-and-a-half times more range out of a pack that weighs only about twice as much. And that doesn't even get to the price drops. GM has figured out how to get 3x the energy capacity and almost 2.5 times more range out of a pack that weighs only twice as much. Speaking of those 288 cells, that number might sound familiar to regular readers because that's exactly how many are in the new Chevy Volt. But the packs in the Volt and the Bolt are entirely different beasts. For one thing, while the Volt cells are made by LG Chem in Holland, MI, LG Chem will make the Bolt's cells in South Korea. The cell chemistries are also different. We spoke with GM engineer Tim Grewe (again) and while he declined to answer some of our Bolt battery pack questions until more details are unveiled at the SAE World Congress in April, he was able to explain a few things. "The cell inside the Chevy Bolt EV was specifically designed for EV range so it's up on energy," he said. "That's a different cell chemistry than on the extended range Chevy Volt, which is a smaller pack, smaller energy but more power per cell. We work with all of those vehicle requirements and customer demands and we say how do we meet this and we change the chemistry to make it all work." Comparing the 60 kWh in the Bolt and the 18.4-kWh pack in the Volt is really one of those apples to oranges issues, he said. "If you look at the Volt battery pack, how it went from where it was and where it's up to, from 38 miles to 50 miles, that was basic, overall industry improvement. Now, the 18 [kWh] to the 60 [kWh] is extended range vs. EV.
