I'll shoot some photos in the next day or two.
 
$10-$14K base, depending on condition...pristine, good, average etc.

Add 1/2 of the cost of the accessories...bumpers, lift etc.

Add zero for labor to install these goodies.

I'd say that is ballpark, minus the gas-hog tax that has fewer folks looking for these rigs.

Nice truck...good luck!
 
Price

Solvang, California - $19,750

Bought it as a lease return with 9,000 miles in California. No accidents. It has always lived in the dry hills in the Santa Ynez Valley, California.

And.......I will throw in a brand new Mobi-Arc 200x Welder - Value $795 !!!

Has Christo worked on the vehicle, or did someone else install all of those Slee accessories?
 
Slee Accessories

Most of the accessories were installed by a mechanic buddy and me; Christo has never worked on the vehicle, but he has offered much helpful advice. The suspension was installed @ Man-a-Fre. Hanna installed the sliders of course. The Aussie locker was installed in a shop in Buellton. Everything is fully operational and installed correctly. The entire suspension system was tweaked by a Toyota mechanic and then checked out again in an alignment shop after the panhards, control arms ect were put in.
 
A few questions

Matt--
I ran through your old posts and came up with a few questions. I'll post them here for the benefit of all.

1) was the source of your suspension shimmy found and resolved?
2) how about the stall on steep ascent?
3) did you add bumpstops?
4) A/C fan bearing replaced?
5) rattling post HG replacement resolved?

Thanks!
Heather
 
1) was the source of your suspension shimmy found and resolved?
*This was actually a vibration caused by the Hanna Sliders touching the vehicle body. I took it back to Hanna and he fixed it.

2) how about the stall on steep ascent?
*I installed a new fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump relay and fuel filter and this resolved the problem.

3) did you add bumpstops? *Yes - extenders in the rear. I have them for the front too, but haven't put them in.

4) A/C fan bearing replaced? *Nope - haven't gotten around to it yet.

5) rattling post HG replacement resolved? *That was the a/c fan bearing
 
Congrats To Justagirl. I Hope You Enjoy The Beast Ii For Many Years To Come !!!!
