-This is the MWB Mid Wheelbase model that has the magical 102.36" wheelbase akin to that of a Jeep TJ Unlimited or LJ. Perfect the way it is, however, a great candidate to have its suspension linked and coilovers retrofitted.
Cons:
-Body has some surface rust that has gone through the fenders and part of the windshield frame. Frame is solid but has some body rust that would easily come off with a wire brush. See pics
-Slow oil leak from where tranny bolts to engine and from PTO winch box
-Tear in driver right thigh bolster fabric
-Crack in windshield, is not spreading
-Associated wear and tear for a 25+ year old vehicle
I had big plans on keeping this for a long time and doing the bodywork repair myself as I enjoy welding, unfortunately I will not be able to do so. I also considered just cutting out the rust and attaching body armor panels similar to those sold for Jeep Wrangers. Actually, I like it the way it currently is as the "patina" provides a lot of character to the Cruiser and make me what to wheel it more vice not.
Oregon plates as I am a resident there and being in the military I don't need to register it in California. I live in Temecula, CA 92592 and could meet the buyer at the San Diego Airport or Ontario, CA Airport for a buyer flying in. Asking $12,500/OBO.
