A while back I had some tool boxes and tools on the local craig's list, here's an offer I received, I passed. I may have missed out but I didn't have a spare $1000 laying around that the guy wanted in addition to my tools and tool box.


saw your matco box listed on craigslist and followed your mickeys list and well a lot caught my eye and i thought i would offer you a trade. i will take all your tools off your hands plus 1,000. in trade for my suburban. if interested i have pics and info listed below.

here is a link to pics of the suburban. http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff239/500inches/83

it is a 1983 GMC 2500 high sierra 4x4 suburban. it was bought in Tennessee and brought up here not to long ago.
i really like to go four wheeling and stuff like that i usually go with a group of friends on the weekends, but i started to rebuild my truck and that forced me to ride shot gun or spot while it was still a blast i was having the itch to drive. the guy i usually rode with blew his engine and with my usual rig some time from being finished, i thought i would just buy a truck to go wheeling with and that would scratch my off roading itch until i could finish my truck. so i found this suburban and bought it. now the village code enforcement is telling me i can no longer have it. i figure instead of fighting it i might as well pick my battles and appease them this time.

it is a factory 3/4 ton 4x4 it has a 1 ton rear 4.11 gears detroit locker 1 ton springs dana 44 HD front 4.11 gears super winch lock outs newer 8" super lift 38.5" tires the engine is a small block Chevy V8 the alternator, battery, hoses tune up etc has been done recently the transmission and transfer case have both been rebuilt very recently the truck has around 76 or 78,000 miles on it. the body is in good shape although there are a few spots that are rusty it is nothing that will cause catastrophic failure the floor pans are solid doors are solid it runs and will drive i think one of the callipers are frozen. it dose need a front u joint in the drive shaft. i do have quite a bit of spare parts that go with it there is a cargo door window, 2 callipers, 3 sets of axle shafts, steering stabilizer, a CD player, weather stripping, extra hoses, vents and some other stuff. the truck doesn't need all of those things but i have them for it. the interior is basic front bucket seats with center council venal floor 2nd row of seats fold down to make a 8" bed it has factory tinted windows ( not that purple stuff ) oil pressure is stable at a shade above 30 psi i replaced the rear bumper it has skid plates also a coat of paint and it will look a whole lot better.

Not sure if you're joking about the missing out. I sure wouldn't give 1000 bucks plus tools for that. Being a burb its almost totally useless for the way its built. Not so bad if it was a pick up...maybe a grand then (still no tools).

I'm just surprised he typed all that out. The typical response I get from craigslist goes more like this:

"trade you for a 83 ford truck. nneds some work."

thats it, no pictures, no phone number, no specifics

Yeah, I was joking about missing out, that thing would be the last thing I'd want. I've gotten some really bizarre offers from craig's list, and one lecture (this was about an ad I put with a Q and A section):

wOW!

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES IN CRAIGLIST. IF SO WHY IT THE HELL YOU STILL HERE????


YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT TO ANTICIPATE WHAT PEOPLE IS GOING TO ASK YOU, BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL.....

IN FACT SOME OF THE STORIES MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT SO ARE JUST BS. ....

ANYWAYS! YOU SEEM TO BE A FREAKING HARD COLD SON OF A GUN WHO DONT GIVE A **** ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S FINANCIAL SITUATIONS...... AND THAT'S RUDE.... YOU *************!!

YOU ARE THE STUPID ONE!! FOR BUYING A PIECE OF **** COMPRESSOR TO BLOW BALLONS (AJAJAJAJ) AND NOW YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT....

GUESS WHAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SELL IT... YOU HEAR ME .......YOU R NOT SELLING THAT ****!!! SO START LOOKING FOR YOUR RECEIPT OR SALVATION ARMY NUMBER...... NO ONE WILL BUY THAT!! I CAN GET MORE HORSE POWER AND BETTER PSI'S FOR 75.00 AT MENARDS

THIS WILL TEACH YOU SOMETHING FREAKING *****! YOU MIGHT HAVE A JOB NOW!! BUT YOU NEVER KNOW!! YOU MIGHT LOOSE IT TOMORROW. DONT GET TOO COMFORTABLE! AND BE MORE SENSITIVE!!! IF THAT DOES NOT HAPPENED TO YOU... YOU KIDS WILL GET IT

LATER
