Re: Anyone seen this EB in person?
I'm gonna bet his reserve is set in the 12-15k range. Very clean looking rig. I don't like that front steering work one bit though......
I will put this out there to anyone who will listen, so take it for what it is worth. Don't do drop track bar brackets. Do a riser off of the axle tube. The stress/torque that is created at the frame is about triple what it is on the axle and has the potential to tear the frame at that particular point. The riser is the better way to go. Also, I would flip the tie rods so you don't have to have that big ole honkin' drop pitman arm. Flip your tie rods to the top of the knuckle and it gets things out of the way from rocks and such, but it also puts the drag link back in the correct position.
But anyway, it's a nice rig. I don't think I would turn that one into a crawler. I would get a junkyard body and do that kind of build with it.

But if you get that, Denise won't be able to climb in the back and put her feet up.

Maybe post the question right on the auction so that others can see his non-response and if it's a scam, they can avoid it.

I don't see it either. I'm not super Ebay savvy, I just know I've asked questions in the past and they showed up on the page. It must be an option he didn't want.

Re: Anyone seen this EB in person?
Questions are expected during an auction. This guy may be very very busy but he is selling an expensive item and should give attention to responding to questions. He has the option to post the question on the page, so he answers the question once vs. answering the same question over and over. However, he isn't even responding. I would rather sell to a local party - seems easier than working our shipping, wire transfers, overnighting checks, checks clearing, inspections, etc.
There is one of my favorite Broncos for sale in California. I would dream about it. Looks like some CB guys saw it in person and uploaded pics. Here is the link: *Warning - it is sad (cause it looked so good from far)*

It shows that something can look amazing in pics and a crazy high price is not a guarantee of value.

Re: Anyone seen this EB in person?
FWIW, I saw 2 for sale at the lot just east of Medved, between Kipling and Ward road. There not as nice, but could save you some lettuce! This was about 3 weeks ago so I don't know if they are still around
Your sh!* is my bread and butter!
