Is it a good deal? Reason I ask is I found a Savage 21 I am going to buy probably tommorow.
 
Not bad other than the K&N air filter take that off if u get it.
 
not bad for $395, that's actaully pretty good. Just like Korn said, ditch the K&N and get a motorsaver. I got my "old skool" t-maxx for about $500 when they first came out...

By the way, got a pic of it???

Not a bad sounding truck. On top of the fuel filter, I would dump the aluminum skids plates. If you are a basher, you will spend more time rebending/reshaping those skid plates than they are worth.

The only other question I would ask is what engine is in it? Is it the stock TRX Pro 15. If so, expect to lay out another 100-200 bucks for a decent engine to haul all of that metal around (the truck is heavier than stock by about two pounds...I'm guessing....based on all of the metal hop-ups).
 
Sounds pretty decent. If u have $$$ then go for it.:thumbup:
 
it sounds like a realy good buy i would go a head and get it over the savage. but take the k&n airrfilter off and put a different one on cause they let alot of dust into the motor
