This is a fun rig that’s built to be tough. I’m taking a break from the sport that’s the reason for selling.
Selling as is, best offer, no sales help needed.
Open to trades as well.
My lowest crawl ratio is 80:1 and it works very well for technical stuff but coming off steep ledges I still gotta ride the brake at times. Also it’s too slow when trekkin through the smooth areas so I’m usually in 2nd or 3rd. At 100:1 I probably wouldn’t need to touch the brakes on those steep drop offs.
When climbing steep sections like where buddy flopped on Greens, I’m in 2nd gear at 43:1. It works well when I need momentum. The trick there is to get the tires smoking until they get sticky 😉
I managed to hit it twice in May 2017 for the first time and had great luck. Completed the trail without winching or carnage!
Ya you gotta continue past that obstacle to hit more action. Love the challenges and adrenaline rush! It loops back to where you start.

Actually the desktop version does allow you to see the other ads but you’ll need to sign in or register. Mobile apps ftw.
Thanks Steve.
Ya sorry I’m used to using the mobile ap and Steve is correct as there’s a link showing my other ads. But my link above brings you to a desktop version and doesn’t show my other ads as a link for some reason…
Yes you’ll need to copy & paste the link that starts with “http” and ends in “true” for separate items. Kijiji won’t allow links to be connected by straight clicking!
Thanks Kev!
Mark, I do have a set of 5.29’s with fresh bearings and welded carriers. See my links from the main ad for other parts I have for sale. 🍻
Ya I know, hate to let her go but I had to make a decision. Either spend more money and effort to get the Cruiser to a certain level, but then still be knowing I won’t be satisfied ——— or find a turn key rig that’ll satisfy the appetite. It ALWAYS makes more sense to find a turn key rig that’s already built therefore I’m after a rig that already has a V8, tons, locked, linked, and loaded.
Having said that I think I found my beast! Keep you all posted how it goes!
