What he said...

just need td42, gearbox and driveshafts, and the rear centre yoke and you're set.
custom bar work, 4x4 parts, trailers, anything out of steel/alloy :D

I agree with the others, but what do you consider and Arm and a leg??

You maybe better off buying a cheap GQ complete, they go for round $3000 for the whole car with rooted body etc, but somtimes the motor can be a gem.

but a budget will help
