Factory Lockers
Pearl/Champagne
OME J lift w/ Slee caster plates
315 Goodyear Duratracs with plenty of tread left
Spare tire is a Interco super swamper mounted in stock location

Radiator replaced in 2011
PHH was replaced by PO
Truck spent its life in Atlanta until I bought it from the original owner in 2009 and brought home to Louisiana.

Good stuff:

Truck has zero rust and sadly zero mud on undercarriage.
No leaks in the driveway.
Third row seats are pristine.
Runs great and I have driven it to Oklahoma and Florida a couple of times with no worries.
Rides like a champ and the J springs are ridiculously comfortable.
Factory radio and CD changer works

Bad stuff:

Front seats are cracked.
Windshield washer motor is going out.
Rear hatch door lock will not work actuate remotely from key fob. Have to manually lock/unlock rear hatch
Front locker does not want to engage. Rear locker engages without a hitch.
Factory radio backlighting sometimes goes out.

NEVER TOOK IT OFFROAD. VERY BAD!!!!! But life just got in the way of the trail riding I planned to do in it.
The PO's wife was a prototypical soccer mom. They had no clue what the lockers were.


Growing family and some sort of reverse midlife crisis has caused me to replace this cruiser with a minivan. Maybe I will replace with yet another 40 or even a 70 one day.

So does the rear locker not engage at all? Is this something that has been checked out (i.e. need work or replacing)?

I've been in the market for a 60 but would be interested in your 80.

The rear locker and center diff lock engage properly. It is only the front locker that does not want to engage. I'm pretty sure it froze up from not being used. They have some posts on it here in mud. If I ever had the time id pull it off and clean it up.
 
I will be in Baton Rouge the first weekend in March. Would you be willing to show then?

I'm off on weekends so it shouldnt be a problem. Just give me a heads up a few days before.
