That does look like a good deal.

While I normally wouldn’t trust anyone that owns a business with Fit in the title. Does make sense that he needs to liquidate after opening a gym and going bankrupt.

40s and a 4.0

40s and a 4.0

The 4.88s would be my bigger concern. I wouldn’t want to daily mine with 5.38s but it’s not miserable at 70. With the Rubi case it’s probably fine crawling.

There's so many things about that rig that look miserable.

I guess for a dedicated trail rig it might be find, I just wouldn't want to drive it anywhere but the trail. Also, all that work and no coilovers?

But the sweet MC fenders more than make up for all of that!

Looks like coilovers front only. The only shot I saw of the rear looked like Bilstein monotube.

Not sure what Dana 60 means, could be aftermarket or junkyard axles. At that price, I'd figure junkyard since aftermarket axles alone would be close to $17K. With 4.88, probably be better with 37's. Possibly built for 35's originally.

It's still on slinky springs front & rear....

My guess is Junkyard Dana 60's since most would tell you Dynatrac or Currie or Rockjock or Fusion or ???? if they were aftermarket.

And would have pictures.

I messaged him about the axles. His reply:

'The rear is a Dana at the front is from an F250.'

Doesn't really explain what the rear is, but close enough.

A Dana 60 rear isn’t a one ton axle I thought

A Dana 60 rear isn’t a one ton axle I thought

I thought it was in the single rear wheel SD?

Do a quick search...... A Dana 60 was used in some 1 ton trucks...

Yes, the Dana 60 was extensively used as a rear axle in trucks from the late 1950s onward, particularly in 3/4-ton and some 1-ton Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge pickups. Known for durability, these rear Dana 60s are popular for heavy-duty applications, often featuring full-floating designs and 8-on-6.5 inch bolt patterns.
