Sierra Trail Boss Value

[Dman]

Have a chance at getting a trail boss local to me. Its a total restore. No motor. Trannys are there as well as everything else but its a total redo. Guy wants $400 for it. I think a little steep on price. What would you pay?

[jerseybigfoot]

not worth $400 if the trans do dont work. also not a very good AATV with their small tires and poor ground clearance. Also ride is horrible again due to the small tires. unfortunately there is no room for larger tires.

It has some real drawbacks that can't be remedied, like JBF said, which is a shame because the bodies on those things are about bullet-proof.

Then why hasn't anyone put the effort forth to fab a new chassis that can support a T20, stretch the body to allow at least 24" tires, and fix whatever else needs attention? Sounds like it could be a winner to me.

The frame and axles are beefy, the biggest problem is raising the wheelwell.

[Dman]

The transmission I was told was working when it was parked but from the looks it has been parked a long time. Would it be worth putting these tranny in a Max? I link how they are for/rev without shifting. Just don't know if it's worth the effort over a t20.

maybe do a JohnBoy lift

[ARGOJIM]

Yup and I have another lower if wanting to go that way.

[jerseybigfoot]

That would be a buggyman lift if you want to section the body. The wheel centers wold have to be checked

I think the only way to restore a trail boss is to do a Johnboy lift. Build outer sub frame rails for bearings, drive chain, and axles under the machine. Alot of work.
