Posting this for my buddy. He want to come to the land of Toyotas and get something he can also drive on the street. He has it listed on a few other sites. I just copied the ad for him.

Well, I'm thinking about transitioning from hard core rock crawling to expedition-type wheeling. I would like to sell my Z-71 to fund the build of a Land Cruiser or something of the like....
Truck is a 2000 Chevy 1500 Z-71 with a 5.3 that has been bobbed and 4-linked in the back, sitting on Rockwells, 42" Iroks on beadlocks, MM Hydraulic winch, full hydro steering, sliders, yada, yada....the build thread is here:
Be aware, it is long and there are a ton of pictures....

Essesntially it is a bone stock 2000 Z-71 5.3 The motor and tranny are untouched (except for a tune and some electric fans). I swapped out the T-case for an NP241 (SYE and flanges front and back) that bolted right in (stock shift, vss sensor). Huge square tubing front driveshaft with D60 joint in the front, rear driveshaft is 1350 CV with Schedule 40 pipe. Obviously Rockwell joints on either ent...
The rockwells have the drum brakes removed, Ouverson Engineering lockers front and back, and DIY4x pinion brake in the back (no brakes on the front). I recently replaced the inner axle seals to stop some leaking I had, as well as repacked the wheel bearings while I was in there. The front has full hyrdo steering via Eaton steering valve and double ended ram (2x1.25x10). The rear has steering controlled by a hydraulic power unit with remote in the cab...
Wheels are MRW 32 bolt beadlocks 17x10 with 42" Iroks with probably 1/4" of tread left....
The front suspension is peices of ORD SAS kit (front spring hanger, and rear shackle hanger) with longer shackles (7") and BDS suspension 56" leaf springs. It works VERY well...
The rear suspension is Rancho 14" travel coil overs, Ballistic Fab brackets, dual triangulated 4-link with Johhny Joints on 2" .25" wall DOM tubing (indestructible)...Also works VERY well...
Also...sweet tube front bumper housing MM 10.5K hydraulic winch and 2 KC lights, Trail Gear sliders, RCI fuel cell (housing stock fuel pump and sending unit so the fuel gauge still works), CB radio in overhead console, maybe a few misc. other things....
I wanted to keep the truck as stock as possible to retain the reliability of the platform. This worked out great becuase the truck is super capable, and super reliable. I havent had any issues with it at all whatsoever. I am very very pleased, just would like to move on to something smaller and still street legal.
Thanks!!
Truck works great! No complaints! I'd like to get $9,000 for it. Located in central Texas.
PM me with any questions. Thanks!
