Thread: My New Toy

So on my way back from Victorville on Saturday I met up with a guy in bakersfield that wanted my honda. So we met up test drove each others cars and we both liked them. So to shorten up the story I ended up coming home with a new toy. Its a 1998 Sonoma and i know im gonna catch alot of hell for it but im ready lol

Let me know your honest opinon. Here is some more info about the truck
-Slam Specalties bags all 4 corners
-2 Vlair 380 compressors
-7 gallon air tank
-front does up,down,side2side
-back does samething ^
-It has a 4 inch body drop
-12-15 gallon fuel cell
-19" Intro wheels(brand new). and from the intro company themselves those rims cost $2500. i didnt believe him so he showed me the reciept and the order paper
-no carpet,ac,or heater due to the bodydrop

Let me know what you guys/gals think of the truck
Thanks, Jonathon

sounds like you came up on this one congrats

ya the guy got his girlfriend pregnant so now they need a "family car" lol there are a few things wrong with this truck but nothing major. im really happy with it

and that's what matters bud what needs to be worked on?

well either the guy that sold it to me or the guy that built it painted to gauges and when he put them back in he didnt plug them in all the way so they dont work(easy fix) umm the front left bag leaks slowly, the wires for the fuel cell are all messed up. i mean its all easy stuff to fix but its not major things. o and its missing the stepside on the passenger side of the bed due to the air tank placement. but its something different for now. i was getting tired of that honda and i wanted something new.

i figured i was only gonna sell my honda for maybe $1,500. it was a 94 with almost 200,000 miles. so the rims on this truck are worth more than that whole car. plus the 2" cowl hood and the bag setup. thats twice what my car was worth then you gotta add in the value of the truck itself.
rims=2,500+ the price of the tires
hood=about 450 with shipping and handling
bag setup= about 1,000 if you do the work yourself about 1800 if someone does it for you. i think i really got a good deal lol that guy was for doing this deal

Straight hustle! Lol good job.. Not a fan of the bagged trucks but u can sale if u want.. But it only matters what u think.. I think I saw u on mooney yesterday around 630 pm by a&w... Anyways good hustle lol

yea that was me you seen. yea i think i might sell it eventually and i can make alot more money off of it than i could of with my honda. im usually not a fan of these trucks either but i figured im tired of a honda and ill try somethin different and come to find out i really do like bein that low to the ground lol (im scared of heights)lol

thats low and slow! yeah i think it was a good trade except its not as reliable and driveable as the honda was but atleast you dnt have a farting car anymore

the low part i dont care about but i already the slow part lol that honda would have lost to anything you put it against. a 90 yr old woman in a wheelchair could have beat that car lol
