**SOLD***

Time has come to move onto other things. Figured I'd get this cross posted onto the club's forum that I spent a decent amount of time wheeling with over the last few years.

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.

The Bad:
-Couple Oil leaks
-SM420 Front - Typical leak due to design flaw. Not bad but I'm anal about leaks so I think it's worth mentioning
- T-Case - I believe it's just the copper washer on the drain plug, I just don't have much free time to do a gear oil change on it.
-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.

Say it aint so.
 
Sad to hear it Garrett. Anytime you want to go wheeling just let me know, you got a seat.

I appreciate it.

I've missed wheeling with LSLC the last 2 years. I was hoping to make it out to the round up this year, but I had just finished the motor swap and wanted to get some miles on it before bringing it out.
 
That's a good deal for all of that. Hope to see you around again sometime!
 
Garret- nice rig! Are you looking for any trades or cash sale only?
 
I'm really looking for cash but I would entertain a partial trade of a clean stock or SAS 96-00 4runner with the manual transmission
 
YEP.....wonder if he wants the 40 back....
 
:lol:

Bad decisions lol.

Think I'm gonna stick to one vehicle for a while once the runner sells.

There is a mud price on this if anyone's interested

What the heck is going on down there in Houston? You lost your mind?

Who bought the 40?

BTW, the one vehicle concept is very square. Your sig line should look like this at all times.

If I wasn't moving a few times in the next couple years I'd agree. But until I have a permanent place to keep them, prefer just one. About to become a cajun here in a few weeks :hillbilly:
