No Buyers yet so it looks like I will get to play in the Snow with it this year at my home. Lots of places we have 240 acres! Might need to buy some chains for it? NEW Lowered Price of $5,000.00 Firm Super Cheap for the Quality of the build. Okanogan, WA. Restored my Sand Rail. Now finished and runs great. It is up for sale I have over $7,000.00 into it but only asking $5,000.00 Dropped the price due to winter coming on. This one was fun to do had a blast at a parade in Okanogan, Washington State. Never been Off Road since I finished it. Just drove it around on the road in front of our place and in the Parade. Even comes with a Full Metric NICE Rolled Up Tool Kit in the Storage Box if I get my asking price. jd4044m@gmail.com Mark
