Any undercarriage pics and close up shots of the scratches, How does the roof look?

I can get some for you. It's supposed to rain all day so I'm not sure if they will be clear pictures. The roof looks good because I'm assuming a roof rack has always been on. There is a ding on the passenger side rain gutter, but it doesn't cause and leaking or issues with the door closing. I'll get a picture of that too

Nice rig! I, among others, have seen this rig on the forum before... Wonder how the truck would look/perform with 35's instead of 37's. Does the SOA necessitate the 37's or is that just what the PO decided to run? Wonder how much if at all it would impact RPM's on the road...

GLWS,

Joel

Here is a picture of the truck with 35's. I think it looks a little silly, too much space between the body and the wheel. I doubt it will impact the RPMs that much. Dirtgypsy goes SOA

I miss this rig, wish I could have it back!

Here are pictures of the undercarriage, the dent in the passenger side gutter and scratches (very superficial)

any idea if I.P. was ever serviced or rebuilt?

also - does this have "diesel" in the title by chance?

This shows Clint tearing into the engine. I don't think the injection pump was rebuilt but I believe he went in and cleaned most everything out and determined what needed replacing/rebuilt (like the injectors)

And this does not have diesel in the title. If Bay Area means CA, then I doubt you can get this titled there. Last owner couldn't get it titled in Colorado.

Clint is a personal friend of mind and did a great job on this truck. We both have SOA wagons with 37's and I have a vortec in mine. I enjoyed driving his with the turbo diesel much more. Very comfortable truck to daily drive with the 5 speed. If I had the spare cash I would buy it.

It definitely is a great truck. I wish I could keep it but need to make the missus happy.

What is the missus looking for? daily driver /minivan for kids/ or other?

What is the missus looking for? daily driver /minivan for kids/ or other?

A) something a little tamer that she can drive
B) something not diesel because she didn't like the noise/movement
C) something like this that we've already bought

gotcha- im guessing the 4.88 gearing with isuzu is a tad overgeared and 37s a bit squirrely for her.

Sweet new rig ! i like that darker green/ grey...sick

More the lift size. She wasn't comfortable driving that plus she really dislikes manuals.

To the top, going on ebay shortly.
