Alright, I don't have too much cash after taking a massive loss attempting to restore a 1988 Tecate. So, I'm definitely not looking for a project and it has to be complete and running. I'm really after a something for trail riding as I don't do much hill climbing and I would prefer the wheel base be less than 100".

I check craigslist and other classifieds consistently and I've already contacted a few people; but, if you or anyone you know has something let me know.

get an ol s-10 2 door blazer! 4x4..irs front suspension...wheel wells are so big you can put 31" mudders under it (no lift kit needed), powerful 4.3 with auto. Me and Billy Vann had s-10 vs Cherokee jeep competition once at Fultondale on a hill called 1st gear. I went up it the 1st try. Billy made it on the 6th 0r 7th and over heated. Ask him what pulled his pick up out of Indian valley last year.. Ask Bobby Bell what got his buggy out from niga bridge when the Cherokees failed and left drive shafts all in the trail. The locals are amazed that I climb climb climb and never work on it. A narrow truck has playing room on a road where as a wider truck has no choice but to put a tire in wash outs. Long wheel base bottoms out. Too tall and you sway and can not defy gravity. And they ride soooo gooood with irs and busted shocks . Watch a Cherokee full of people. Their heads hit each other , the window, the beer cooler constantly sloshes. S-10 just ___________________________ . Bust the glass out and remove doors if you want a buggy! OH! you open the back hatch on a Cherokee and all all yer $hi+ rolls out! I HATE junk jeeps! lol And most have that ol common lifter rattle. My s-10 odometer is stuck at 395K miles and still going. When it does die I will sell the carcass for $300 scrap and put the wheels and air freshner on the next one.

Man, honestly, I didn't understand 80% of what you are talking about. All I got from that was S10 Blazer, 4x4, and beers. I'm just after a rail buggy that's setup for trails. Thanks though?

I didn't have much to spend when I bought mine either. But if you find one with a title you can take out an auto loan on it. 3 year loan on $5k isn't to bad.

OK let me put it to the new guy this way...I'm sorry for trying to tell you humorously a great cheap way to go. Join the others. Eventually migrate thru the years with buggies and have 18 pistons and cylinders laying around 3 sets of heads 9 tires 2 headers 3 cranks with dowel pegs wo out, 2 lbs of oil pumps, stripped timing gears, and a pile of transmissions a show dog can't jump. Or just hit the S-10 with the hose and be done with it. Oh... And save up and buy a house right out side of the trail entrance. No trailers, dui's. I save up to 3 hours a ride by not loading up, driving , unloading and then the reverse that evening. Run home to get a part, food or toilet. Trail ride thru out the week. To keep from trailering , I've stuffed trucks out in the dense woods for years and all I had to do was bring a gas jug and pull the camo tarp off. Or just paint it camo with house paint.

Thanks for everything guys, I completely understand that my budget is a limiting factor. However, I've watched the market and I know there are a few that pop-up within my range. I'm not looking for anyone to hold my hand and search for me. As I've stated I already know what I want and I have been actively searching and contacting sources. I'm simply trying to expand my search and see if anyone on here has anything that's not already listed on Craigslist or other public classifieds.

May pick up a roller and get your own trans and motor. I would say you would come out better that way with knowing what you have.

However I did get my buggy off CL about 3 years ago with a buggy title dp 1600 and 3rib for 1400 so you may get a deal!
