Talk about the end of an era it seems! Never thought it would be sold... no fawkers better cry on the price... they should be smacked if so... and I just re-entered the 80 world with the same color, inspired by this thing kinda....

Ken has the 80 I would want if my build design wasn't so specific. Really a perfect balance of a truck that is used as designed in day trip crawling, but also classic in expedition design. You won't do better - GLWS
Great way to get to know a vehicle, doing a 800 mole road trip to get or home!
Thanks Ken! I'll take care of her!

Wow, that went quick...I think someone will need a new Avatar.
I can't believe I missed this... Romer it is crazy to see your 80 for sale/sold, your truck was what I have somewhat modeled my build after ever since I bought my 96 back in 06/07. I am sure you will love your hundred and I am excited to see where your build goes.
operatorTRP you have a very nice rig (understatement) Enjoy

Well,,,,,
I am not really using this to its full potential, It's mostly a backup grocery getter. and some other needs have come up, So I am going to have to let it go.
It is in much the same condition as it was when I picked it up from ROMER, I have added a speski barrier($300) and some various small odds n ends. I have the wiring collected to wire the AUX fan in to the factory under hood fuse box, and plug it all up with OE plugs, relay, ect..
Some rust has started to bubble from under some touched up spots from rock scrapes that wasn't noticeable when I got it, but it really isn't much of a deal. The driver's side fender cladding started rattling so i pulled it off, I had intended on de-cladding the whole rig and doing an AL'S type of coating on the bottom, Just haven't gotten there.
the leaky oil seal in the knuckle has been fixed.
I have only put about 5k on it, almost 1k of that was coming back from getting it.
I'd like to break even: $17,500
It is in far west Texas, I could meet someone at Midland odessa airport, or ElPaso? I might be able to deliver it to the DFW area, but that all depends on work? and that has been really busy lately.
THanks for looking, and Thanks Romer for suggesting I use your original thread!
I ll try and get some current pics up, and my own ad sometime? but this will have to do for now.

Zach, sorry you have to let it go. The bubbling is on the rear slee bumper not the body, correct? I did use Black Rustoleum to spray over scrapes on the bumpers and sliders where there was exposed metal from wheeling it.
Was it the drivers side? that would be from Spike.
Or the passenger side could have been from the Rubicon
Thats why we put armor on our trucks

Yep most of the rust is on the bumper, around the receiver and passenger side wing. There is a little on the rear springs and swaybar? Nothing I would be that concerned , but it's there.

I forgot to add:
I had the I simple gateway upgraded to work with I phone 4
It now has LEDs in all the doors, and C5 reverse lamps.
Did the grey wire mod for the remote entry antenna.

I modified the first post to say for sale again. I think he will have better luck continuing with this thread
I'll bump it once, if no action I may be forced to keep it?

I was interested when I saw this thread pop back up. But This rig is built out of my price range. Good luck and Bump.
You're killing me - again! I love my LC but could have saved $$$ by waiting 1 year and buying this one or one like it, if there is such a thing as "one like this one".
Well, I'll ask the only person I know who might be interested. And I'll ask the only person I know who disclaims any interest in such a vehicle due to the MPG.
Good luck!
