hes gotta take it to a frame shop and have it boxed and welded and measured properly.... if he wants to shell out the coin!

What to do? Yeah. Make the guy he bought it from disappear.

Have the seller test the Ice road in May for thickness with lead wheels.

Duct tape.

I saw that. Dude only give $600 for the truck. Still a good find because he's about to start modding it for the trails. It's not going to be his DD or anything like that. I say some flat plate and a shiat pile of welding and he'll be good to go!

 

[eclipse]

he didn't see that when he bought it?

 

[k2mslskier]

What's the old saying...."caveat emptor"...let the buyer beware.

x2 on eclipse's comment.

I would clean and bevel the two broken surfaces and weld them back together as well as I could. Then I would weld a piece of 3/16" plate over the repair and call it good.

I wouldn't expect the alignment to ever be perfect again, but I suppose if you felt like doing a lot more work you may be able to get everything close again.

x3...

 

[blowedupmotor87]

Maybe it hadn't busted yet, just cracked? For only $600, a lot can be overlooked!

 

[55Willy]

4 link the rear and don't worry about it, LMAO!

 

[TruckNutzDude]

I hear JB weld holds pretty good

 

[Tabb]

Did he look at those area's before he bought it?

 

[newyorkin]

Yikes... Looks like the body is the only thing holding it together...

Here's the link to his original post guys. Let's see if we can help him out. He's waiting on his membership here to get activated and he also just joined up over on Carolina K5. http://www.pavementsucks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=115332
