Hey, so here are some pics of the rig.
It's a '94
Has all of the locks
173k on the odo
fairly distressed leather.
factory jack and tool kit (my '08 Tundra didn't have either)
fairly new tires (Yokohama Geolander at/s in stock size)
newer battery
fairly clean engine bay
PO drove it to me.
missing jump seats
has the highly desirable rear roof deflector/spoiler
Things of concern; Yellowing of heater control valve, definite issue at rear drivers side slider window gasket, some oil/grease/fluid underneath (need to clean more, and watch for new seepage to determine source), missing antenna mast, center diff lock light will not turn on, rear passenger window seems to be dodgy/partially able to get off track, nicely yellowed wheel center caps, missing one rear wheel lug, etc etc
If you have seen my other post, you may know that I was trying to stay under 5k (I had been looking at some of the local rigs in the 3500-4k range). Well, I went a bit over 5k which hardly left me room to get the thing legal (pretty silly on my part), let alone place an initial order for some baselining bits and pieces.
it's still sitting on factory suspension, so she sags a bit.
My idea for a dream build would be similar to Shermantank55's "dingo." I would do a darker FDE shade of tan, or olive drab though (Army vet). I'm not sure I could ever convince myself to shell out the coin for an ARB rear bumper though as slick as they are, that's a hunk of coin.
Question #1 has anyone downloaded a pdf or other type version of the factory service manual from one of those "free" sites that ask for a donation? I would if I could check the size/type of files first, so I knew if I would get a zoomable/useful sized product.
Cheers.
