Price drop to 7,000 obo

Bump. Open to trade of a 4x4 truck of equal or lesser value + cash

I’ve been getting texts and calls on this thing nonstop today. Obviously I priced it too low so I did my research (which I should have done before I listed it) and I’m raising the price. I’m now asking $7,500 for it, which still seems very reasonable for this rig. If I can’t sell for that...

Added to original post: I got under there last night and there is small spots of rust on both pinch seams One hub cap is missing There are some small dents, 2 on the hood and one on the rocker panel Thanks for all the interest so far! Nick

Thank you all so much for the input! It’s been kinda nice hearing others input lines up with what I’ve been coming up with on my own! I’ll obviously dig deeper into my research of baselining and catching up on all the PM and go from there. Keep the conversation going as far as more...

Thanks! Ya everyone's idea of off road worthy can be different too - my needs for off road worthiness is to putter around forest roads and minimum maintenance roads around the USA and Canada, hauling our gear with us and camping as we go.

Awesome advice! Thank you!

lol that's what I'm worried about

Thank you for your reply! I understand that getting any rig off road worthy will cost $$$ - I've owned off road worthy rigs of varying capabilities since I was 19. Maybe I should have been more clear - my main question is - will it require deep pockets just to get this thing mechanically...

Ok, firstly, I grew up in a Land Cruiser - our family rig in Africa until I was 7 years old. I've always loved Cruisers, and wanted to buy one, but have never owned one until now - basically because the are quite pricy to buy and maintain. Here's what I found about a year ago and bought on a...
