It's time to move on, my personal rig is up for sale to a good home. This truck has provided some great memories for myself and my family on plenty of camping trips and has pulled work duty for my business on many heavy hauls picking up product and as well as hauling trucks we have built for others to trade shows. As the asking price will not be for everyone this truck has many man hours logged over the past years building it and many upgrades that in the end would make it VERY hard to duplicate anywhere close to what I feel is a fair asking price. If you are a possible buyer and are serious feel free to express that and I am more than happy to finalize a purchase price.

Asking price @ $65K - O.B.O SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY PLEASE - Pink in hand and ready to move.

To contact about this ad please ONLY use this email - [email protected] -- Our business phone or emails WILL NOT be responding to inquiry's about this truck sale, thank you.

- New owner will take over truck with a fresh complete servicing of all fluids, filters and full detail including clay, polish & wax PLUS 6 BRAND NEW Toyo tires.

***** UPDATE *****

Truck has been SOLD :Handshake


Here are some follow up pictures of my truck off to it's new home in Manitoba, Canada!!!!


Here we added new Toyo Tires and some Canada winter gear, Bushwacker cut out flares front and back. No they do not make flares for the rear, we took the single wheel flares and "MADE" them fit.....pain in the ass, alot of work and very hard to get a perfect fit and finish but it can be done and made work if you are not the most picky person.

Jeriah not liking me right now but we always have to try something once on these HD's:

YES, making the fender flare fit a dually sucked, but since there's only three or four of us crazy enough to try it, it makes them unique! :faint:
Sorry to see it go, proud for the new owner!

Damn those flares look good!
Its been tossed around here at work all the time about doing a dually flare. Its hard cause its would be such a low volume part and wouldn't recoupe the tooling costs. I'd be interested in what you guys did to make them fit.

I can't speak for Nick, I'm sure he had some top-notch body guys work on his. I did my own at home. Here's a pic that kinda shows how I did mine...

http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL267/1824562/21668057/401804439.jpg

I had to cut an inch out of the length of the legs, they hang down way too far. It's easiest near the ends where you have to modify the contour anyway. Then add in a piece (the white-ish boomerang in the pic) on the outside edge where it fits flush to the surface of the fender to make it match the shape of the dually fender. I used a little fiberglass mat on the backside to hold everything togetherand make it strong.

The screws that hold them on through the inner wheel well liner don't match up with a pre-existing holes on duallys, I just used self tappers. The flares also don't fit flush to the inner liner all the way around but you can't see it and it isn't really a problem.

Haha, yea it was funny because the new owner said straight up....Soooo you want to try doing the flares?" I said as long as you don't exspeced them to be perfect I am 100% happy to try because there is only a few running around:rolleyes: What did we get ourselfs into:faint:

Plenty of people talk about them but I really don't think they will be in the volume of what a manufacture would like to see to be worth it but I may be wrong. More people asking and wanting because they can't have..haha

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Top notch body work....my tech would die reading this right now!!!!! Pretty much the same you did we had to cut and heat the flare up and hold it on by screws on the rear of the bed flares. My guys asked me so many times...you really want me to do this, I was VERY straight up with the new owner I was not happy but because he was from Canada and have the very cold weather to deal with his standards had much more room than what I come across in Cali. that is for sure. He was happy and I am waiting on updated pics of what he had done up in Canada. I guess the bed sides Line-X in white and the flares in white or black, not sure yet but I know some Line-X would finish what I seen the flares leave as so i hope he was happy with the end results and they serve the purpose he needed.

Nicks not understating things a bit. I put up quite a fight over making these flares work. We set our standards very high and I knew I could not make them look like they belonged there in the time frame allowed. I ended up using a propane torch to heat the plastic and several sizes of pipe to form the flares. I also had to remove/section out in a few spots. I wish we had more time; I think with some fiberglass I could have made them look like a factory part.
