According to the vehicle report:
08/01/2009 FL 74,365
Motor Vehicle Dept. ODOMETER READING FROM DMV 08/21/2009 MIAMI, FL
Motor Vehicle Dept. TITLE (Title #:0096160279)
DUPLICATE TITLE 09/25/2009 MIAMI, FL
Motor Vehicle Dept. TITLE (Title #:0096160279)
DUPLICATE TITLE 10/05/2009 CO 74,367
Motor Vehicle Dept. TITLE (Title #:08M596001)

It went from Florida in August of '09 to Colorado in October of '09 and only moved 2 miles. I feel sorry for the jackass that buys this truck. No I don't.

id like to see someone buy that thing and try to actually go up a curb and snap the axles right in half.

Not only are the tires a massive issue but the offset on the rims are retarded.

I want to know what he was thinking when he put a smaller motor in the truck than it would have come with from the factory, seems to me a waste of time, if I was gonna do a motor swap I would have at least put a 6 cylinder (Cummins though)

All that custom work and he couldn't put a little driveshaft on to make it 4x4 I have a feeling the gears in the rear end dont match the front

Is it just me or maybe he was the first sucker that bought this thing and just figured it out and is trying to get rid of it

price is up to $15k and there's no mention of reserve price not met.
you're right - it does look retarded w/44's on 15" rims.

i can't believe anyone would pay that much for this truck. you're not going to be able to enjoy driving it on the road, and that's a lot of money for a offroad toy, not to mention that if its got standard axles they won't last 5 minutes.

i would never buy a lifted truck. You never know what it was built for. i like my trucks to be strong enough to basically jump them anywhere, which is not the case for some people

Thats because the first rock it hits would destroy the front axle and it would never get out of the first mud hole with the 4.7 and 44s

Could someone fill me in on what the 4.7 engine is or did he mean to say 5.7?

It could be the 4.7, but only if the builder did the swap.


The 4.7 (287ci) motor came about in 2002 with the new 1500. It was the replacement for the 5.2 just as the 5.7 is the replacement for the 5.9.

It's decent small block V8, but IMO, the only 287's that are worth anything are the HO 4.7s. They come factory built with forged internals and they are a booster's dream.
