I finally figured out how to edit my original post. I'm just posting the same thing from my new post here.
Good morning All,
Apparently, I'm too dumb to figure out how to edit the first post. PLEASE READ THIS FIRST.
I had never ran the VIN because when I bought it from an individual off Craig's list in middle GA the condition appeared consistent with what the odometer said. This a lesson learned by me to run it anyway. An interested buyer asked for the VIN last night and I gladly provided it for him to run. This is what he found. Apparently, in 2016, the odometer was swapped out by a dealer in Texas for a new odometer which read 114K. At the time of the swap, the original odometer on the truck had 293k on it. So, by doing the math the truck has approximately 315k on it now. In the interest of being honest, I wanted to post this in full disclosure because I don't want to mislead anyone who potentially wants to purchase the truck. Considering the actual mileage, the truck is in great condition. The only problem I have had is the fuel gauge doesn't read accurately, but the low fuel light works as it should. It really hasn't bothered me as I just reset the trip odometer at each fill up and then when either I get close to 300 miles or the low fuel light comes on I fill up again. In the interest of fairness and this new revelation, I'll lower my asking price to $8,000 or best offer. Thanks to everyone for looking and I apologize if I mislead anyone. It certainly wasn't intentional.
Gassiper,
I've never had the steering wheel cover off so I don't know. The headliner is in good condition and I can take a pic tonight when I get home from work and post it.
The time has come to sell my project. I bought her almost two years ago and she has served me well, but I need to sell her. It has 136k miles on the odometer. I had the timing belt and water pump service done at 122k. This was when I bought it, and the previous owner couldn't tell me when the last service was done, or if it had been done. The guy I bought it from wasn't really a cruiser guy, and he didn't have any maintenance records, but you get my records. Previous owner said he bought it from TX, and it's been only in GA with me. There is no rust on the frame and the seats and such are in really good shape, so I don't doubt his statement about that. Shortly after I bought it, the AHC developed a mind of it's own and would go up and down while going down the road. So, I bought and had installed a 2 inch Tough Dog lift kit from Trail Tailor complete with differential drop and sway bar links. It still has the 16 inch wheels and standard size tires on it. I have a set of 5,18 inch wheels only, from a 2004 LX470 that I have intended to put on it with larger tires, but I haven't had time to do it. As you will see in the pics, the rear of the console and rear cup holders are missing. I don't know why as it was that way when I bought it. However, I have another complete console, also in pics, that I bought to replace it, but also haven't had time. The console will go with the sale. The wheels can also, if we agree on a price and the buyer wants them. There are only two small rust spots that I can find. I tried to get them in the pics. One is on the rear gate near the latch, but it's underneath and can't been seen when it's closed. It looks to be surface rust. The other is where you open the driver's door beside the door opening. It also appears to be surface. There is a little clear coat fading on the top near the sunroof, but not much. And there is a small ding in the rear gate. I think that's it, but I certainly want any potential buyer to look for themselves. With all of this said, I'm asking $8000, or best offer. She's solid and will make a great project or daily driver for someone. If you have any questions, shoot me an email at pig86@yahoo.com or you can text me at 706-252-0605.
