I thought this was going to be my 'forever' truck but I've got an opportunity to jump to a 200 for a very, very good deal so I'm trying to figure out the numbers. It's not as 'built' as some other trucks out there, but I'm probably one of the few people that have spent more on maintenance than mods. This isn't just a 'I changed the fluids' baselining. I work at a dealership and most of the work has been done by Master techs. Pretty rare color, too (Mystic Sea Opalescent).
Replaced with OEM parts (all within the past year):
- Entire AHC system: globes, pump/motor, struts. Drives like a dream. Magic carpet.
- Upper control arms, lower control arms, stabilizers, links, wheel bearings (replaced entire parts, not just bushings or repacks)
- CV axles
- Power steering pump
- brake pump/master cylinder
- timing belt, water pump, heater Ts
- all spark plugs and coils
- alternator (upgraded to Sequoia 130 amp)
- seat covers (front row)
- steering wheel
- fuse box
- all four door lock actuators (entire actuator, not just motors)
- catalytic converters shield
- Garage Alpha grill
- passenger side headlight
- throttle body
- MAF + O2 sensors (all)
Added:
- ARB front bumper 3413190
- ARB rear bumper 5613210 with spare + jerry swingouts
- ARB Intensity IQ lights
- ARB rear drawers with roller tops (RDRF1045)
- ARB protection steps + fender rails + puddle lights
- 18" BBS Heritage wheels (including spare)
- Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 285/65R18 (2000 miles on them)
- Front Runner Slimline II roof rack + wind deflector
- OVS Nomadic 270 awning + all 3 side walls
- RIGID 'Chase' tail lights (night, brake, reverse)
- 3M Crystalline ceramic tint (everywhere but windshield)
Included:
- Android 'Tesla' style head unit 8 + 128 (not installed -- was next on my to-do list)
- Third row seats
- 2 master keys (YotaMD shells), 1 valet key
- Original grill
The good:
- I've hit all the major items. This truck rides like a dream and is ready to go another 20 years. No sticky locks. No DNR thunk. No AHC issues.
- Texas truck it's whole life. No rust.
The bad:
- The sunroof doesn't work.
- 2 long scratches on windshield, a star or two. Just didn't feel like playing 'replacement roulette) with the windshield.
- Accident on the CarFax (Very Minor) -- it was a scraped bumper on the edge of a garage door. PO pocketed the money and left it as is, and I put the ARB bumper on to 'fix' it.
- telescopic driving wheel motor doesn't work (tilt does). I have a new motor and installing it is on the to-do list.
- driver's side power mirror does a lazy/half-ass inward fold
Asking $25,000
Truck is at the store (I'm test-driving the 200) so these are the pictures on hand. I can provide more (or particular shots) by request.
