Everything on this truck works, even the factory antenna.

The original owner of this stock truck is my father-in-law so I know for a fact it has been impeccably maintained at the dealership, has never been off-road and has never been tinkered with. He’s that kind of guy. For the past 3 years it has been my wife’s daily driver, just taking the kids to school and such. The truck has spent its entire life in Oklahoma and North Texas so there’s no rust or corrosion.

The interior is very clean. All leather is in excellent shape with zero tears or cracking. The carpets and headliner are excellent with no tears or sagging of any kind. The stereo, tape and CD all work perfectly and all speakers are in excellent condition. The AC, Heat and Defrost are all very strong. Power locks, windows and seats all work perfectly. The front floormats could stand replacing and the wood grain has started to peel in a couple of very small areas.

The exterior is nearly perfect. Having spent most of its life in a garage, the paint is in excellent condition with no fading or major scratches anywhere. The glass is all very good to excellent with a small chip in the windshield, but no cracks. All of the fender flares, mud flaps and running boards are perfect with no cracks bends or dings. There is one blemish, a small dent in the rear hatch on the driver’s side just below and left of the rear glass. The dent does not extend into the glass area or the rear pillar and should be fairly easily repaired.

Under the hood things are very good to excellent. No leaks, knocks or pings. Admittedly, I am not a wrencher but I have had the vehicle checked out by my trusted mechanic. A new valve cover gasket is in order, but that’s the only thing that really needs doing. The new owner will want to update PM’s as necessary, but as I mentioned the truck has been very well maintained and all major services have been performed and the service schedule followed.

The suspension is original but seems in very good order. The truck rides and drives really well. I have a '93 cruiser that drives like a truck, this thing is a Cadillac by comparison. Recently the front passenger side knuckle was rebuilt and the driver side was inspected and looks fine. The brakes are very good and were serviced fairly recently.

I am selling this truck as I have 2 toddlers already and twins on the way. Its time for a Toyota Sienna, otherwise we'd keep the cruiser forever.

I'll try to get some more pics up shortly. In the meantime PM or email me if you want particular pics or if you have questions.

Asking price is $11,500. The vehicle is located in the DFW area.


Cheers,

2 toddlers and twins on the way? You need a mobile home. :D Please post some interior, engine bay and undercarriage pictures. Planning on going to Houston Rodeo?

Nah, just a nice diesel FJ troop carrier.

Nice rig and even near me. But as said above, out of my price range. Free bump though.
 
Hey guys and gals. Let me give an update.

The cruiser is still for sale. I do have a few interested parties. I am getting a faster response than I anticipated and I am trying to get more pics taken.

I am taking the truck this afternoon for a detail and will take some pics of it looking pretty that I will post here later today.

I apologize for putting the cart before the horse so to speak and not having that done before I listed it. Frankly, I didn't expect the overwhelming response I've gotten so far.

Please bear with me as life is crazy at the moment. Not trying to make excuses, but as I mentioned the wife is fixin to pop and is on bed rest. We have some help with the toddlers, but she's only there while I am at work. As you can imagine I am super busy at the moment. That said, I want to take care of you guys who are interested in the truck and I will do so.

Last night my PMs filled up fast. If you guys would rather email me, please do so. I am able to receive emails from Mud members.

Here are a few more exterior shots that I have. I will get interior, undercarriage and under the hood shots this afternoon.


Cheers,

Truck is sold pending funds.

We are working out the details, but the buyer is a forum member and I'll let him out himself if he wants to.

Thanks for the great response.


Cheers,
