I bought one off e-bay About 6 months ago. I paid $12.99. I was the only one who bid on it. This is the sellers web site - http://www.uniquelyautomotive.net/shop/

I painted mine to match my truck, now I'm putting a lift on it and some bigger tires.

Did these things just come out? I just bought a brand new one a couple weeks and I only paid $25 CDN, I should buy more and sell them on ebay. The guy I bought it off of had a built one there and it was pretty nice. Mine shall stay in its sealed box.

Gee_Emm - I think they came out in '97. It is the same as the Wix Blazer and several others out there, just not assembled. Someday I may buy another and keep it stock so I can put it beside my modified one.

Blue Beard - They were really great to deal with. Within 1 hour of winning the auction, I spoke with them on the phone and they had already packaged it up for shipping. I went out later that day. I think it was an older couple that run the business. Very nice and efficient. I would definately buy from them again.

Bouncy,
I've never tried to customize a model before. How do you go about making a lift kit and where do you find bigger tires? Just curious.

I had an old model (dodge truck) that had leaf springs and bigger tires. I'm just going remove the axels that came with it and stick the new ones on the bottom. If you can find another kit with nice tires, etc. you can modify the parts to fit. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of models of lifted trucks out there now.
