As hard as this is for me, I think it is time for me to move on and get this vehicle into someones hands who is willing to appreciate it and use it for what I built it for.

There is NO RUST on this vehicle.

I bought this Thanksgiving 2008, tore it down to a bare frame. Spent 3 years rebuilding it. Drove and wheeled it from 2011 to the end of 2013. I just got this driving about 1 month ago. The passion is not there for me any more so It's time for it to go to a new home.

If you have questions, Ask.

Asking Price: $16,000 OBO ($17,500 OBO with 3 year old 18 foot car hauler w/ almost new tires, package deal)
Location: Houston, Texas

Will consider a clean stock or straight axled 96-00 4runner 3.4L 5 speed 4wd (preferably with factory e-locker) below 175k miles as a partial trade + cash on your end.

The Bad:

-SM420 Front - Typical leak due to design flaw. Not bad but I'm anal about leaks so I think it's worth mentioning

-Needs new driver side tail light lens.
-Needs a new switch for the radio.
-Needs new Speedo Cable, Broke during engine swap.
-Minor body damage from the trails (2nd photo right behind the door, similar on the passenger side, nothing too terrible by any means)
-Drivers half door is messed up pretty bad, still functions perfectly. Caught a rock on the Rubicon.
-Speakers - Quickly installed before Rubithon a couple years back. IMO it could be re-done nicer.

Any spares, tools, etc. specifically for this vehicle will go with it.

Very nice roll cage bad ass
 
Tempting. Glws! Love the cage and pretty much everything else about this...
 
Unfortunately not tempting enough :lol:

Did I mention it has Marlins Signature on the glove box?! :bounce:

Tempting enough to show the wife and say "what do you think honey?". How streetable is the rig? Hard top? Will be in Houston next Thursday...just saying. Who built your roll cage? Metal tech cage?
 
I knew the signature on the glove box would work :lol:

I use to drive it to and from class and around town. Driven it a few times on the highway and it was fine.

No hard top.

It's a Metal Tech Cage built by Gulf Coast Crawl Shop.

I'll be in town and free after work.
 
Bump.

Will consider a clean stock or straight axled 96-00 4runner 3.4L 5 speed 4wd (preferably with factory e-locker) below 175k miles as a trade/partial trade.
 
Do you have the front fenders or the metal tech ones I thought I saw in a pic somewhere (I think)?
