Hi all,
I posted this as SOLD a couple months back because my brother-in-law wanted it and in short, has decided to forego in lieu of something more family friendly.

Priced to sell now, no low-ballers please.


Previous Post:

I've owned this vehicle for 11 years now and it's served our family very well completing cross country road trips both on and off road with mostly mild wheeling in between.

Mileage: 247,000

OEM Triple Locked
ARB Deluxe Bull Bar
Warn XD 9000 Winch
Odyssey Xtreme Battery (Brand New)
ARB Diff Breather Extensions FR/RR Axles
Safari Snorkel
Slee Stainless Steel Extended Brake Lines
DBA 4000 Series Rotors FR/RR with OEM Toyota pads
OME Heavy Coils/ Steering Stabilizer with Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks and Adjustable Rear Panhard Rod

I have since removed the Hella lights up front, ARB Compressor, and Yakima load bars as I will be re-purposing these on the new truck.


INCLUDED:
6th Stock LX spare wheel/ BFG KO tire, original drive shaft, and third row seats


Maintenance:

Head Gasket Replaced @ 215K miles by ACC
- All hoses were replaced at this time as well as the addition of a new radiator
- New intake plenum, PHH, High pressure PS hose
- New Oil Pan Arch Seal
- FYI the head gasket blew originally @ about 178K miles while I was deployed and in my opinion now was repaired by a shop that suffice it to say may have been in over their head.

Front Axle Rebuild @ 215K miles by ACC
- L inner axle seal I fear is letting loose as it’s starting to weep a little since the truck is not being daily driven now. VERY SLOW leak.

All fluids have been changed at recommended intervals using Mobil 1 Synthetic oil and Lucas gear oil


The BAD:
- Brake discs are warped, not bad but enough on a DD to make me want to replace if I kept it as a DD. I have brand new OEM toyota discs that come with the truck.
- Paint is in generally good condition (7.5/10 I would say), hood was beginning to fade so I Plastidipped the center portion. Some people hate this but it is what it is. Some minor scratches but NO RUST
- Antenna mast like on many 80 Series doesn’t work. I never got around to replacing the motor and eventually the antenna snapped off in the woods
- Rear Locker is inoperable currently. I was an idiot when I first got the truck and cut the exhaust off behind the muffler. It burned through the wiring and I had it rewired by ACC, but I think since it went so long without being used it’s merely stuck



Having owned the vehicle for 10 years I may be forgetting small details. All questions will be answered and any pic requests honored.

Nice truck. If i were in the market I'd be pming you.

Hi did you like the Icon shocks?

GLWS
 
Had OME for about 5 years and no complaints, but the Icons I believe are on another level. I just installed another set on my tundra.
 
Sorry everyone... forgot mileage. It has 246000 miles on the ticker. Original post updated.

Alright, I hate being one of those YOYO sellers, but breaking up is hard.

Anyways, not interested in trades, although I might consider a partial trade for cash.
 
Member requested shots of body damage. Here they are.

Forgot to mention in original post, I have a 6th spare wheel/ tire, original drive shaft, and third row seats as well.
 
So it has the Toyo's on it now not the BFG's, correct?
 
Yes.

Toyo's have about 3K miles on them now, put on last year.
 
To the top... Someone make me an offer!
