SOLD.
The Good:
-This truck is 99% rust free, both the body and the chassis. There is one very small spot in the driver side door jam that is a bit deteriorated, but it has not advanced in the four years I've had the truck and it's not even that rusty looking. The frame rails are the cleanest I've ever seen on a vehicle this age. That goes for the body mounts and bushings too... they look new. It's pretty obvious this truck had a frame-off blast and clean at some point, and a new body mount kit put on. I can't verify that, as I didn't know the guy that built it up personally, but if you know what these trucks usually look like at this age, you will see what I'm talking about.
-198,250 miles. 2F engine, 6 cylinder, stock carburetor. This is my daily driver, it starts every time. Recently put in new water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, re-sealed the radiator, and replaced all the rubber related to the cooling system. No, it never overheated, the water pump just started to leak so I just went ahead and updated everything in the cooling system. The plugs, air, and oil filters (and oil of course) are all fresh and new.
-Upgraded to the H55, 5-speed manual transmission.
-ARB bull bar with integrated X9 Superwinch and Hella Off-road light kit.
-Custom steel sliders that bolt to the frame of and can support the entire weight of the vehicle.
-Custom steel swing-out spare tire/hi-lift carrier/rear bumper. The roof-access ladder swings out as well, and this upgraded bumper also has side plates that protect the rear quarter panels, as well as a hitch receiver and beefy tow rings/recovery connection points.
-Yakima gutter mount style roof-rack system.
-Dual red top/yellow top battery set up with combiner/balancer/isolator switch in the cabin. It's a 12 volt system but the extra battery is for the accessories and starting when you've been running the winch/extra lights etc...
-Rear cargo area utility box with heavy duty slide-out drawer system.
-Tuffy secure center console upgrade.
-CB system and auxiliary antennae mounted on the bull bar. You think your cell phone is gonna work when the apocalypse comes?
-Front seats and rear bench seat and all four interior door panels have been reupholstered and are like new. Front seats have canvas protection covers.
-Dual spare tires, one on the rear carrier and one underneath. Sale includes two additional spare tires mounted on full size wheels.
-Alpine audio deck with remote control and auxiliary single-pin ipod/iphone input.
-AC works great and blows cold.
-Clean, clear title. Inspection is current. This vehicle is exempt from tailpipe/emissions check.
-I have PDFs of the factory service manuals, both for the engine and the body/chassis.
The Not So Good:
- Looks like the radiator seal wasn't done properly, I'm seeing a small seep of coolant along the top seam. I've just been keeping an eye on it and topping it off now and then, not leaking badly.
- There is a ding near the rear, driver's side corner where the swing out tire flew out and made a dent. There is also a slight crease in the passenger side rear quarter panel where some one scraped it with their bumper and drove off. I can only hope that the side-plate armor ripped a hole in their vehicle, but I'm not sure. Both of these are relatively minor blems that are not very noticeable. Detailed pics for serious inquiries.
-One of the pistons and welded bump stops that holds the swing out tire from swinging out too far are broken.
-The dash has the typical sun cracks. Even though re-upholstered, the driver's seat has the typical crack in the side from getting in/out every day. The floor carpet is worn down and pretty beat all around. Hard to notice though with those fresh new seats!
-The speakers work, but are beat up and need to be replaced if you want to be cranking the bass.
