SILVER Star
Never did I think this was going to happen....
Selling cruiser parts on marketplace is honestly terrible, under most circumstances. We all know this. Had a gentlemen reach out about some wheels asking if they would fit his 70 series. Without being able to test fit them, I told him I could not answer that 100%....truly didnt believe him and didnt want to be a wiener. Looking online it appears they would...weird. Thought these were 6 lug, never owned one though so really do not know. I was not trying to ship the wheels....seems that never works out good for me. He said he would come by to test fit them...wellllllllll OK. THERE IS NO WAY!!! So I was thinking
Called the bluff, he asked for my direct address, kind of a red flag for me. However, for cruiser parts I do it. For a 70 series, I WILL DO IT
Had another guy show up before him to test fit them onto his International Scout with no luck even though everything said it would fit. Cool, great, actually. I reached back out to what we will call the 70man. He said he was 20min out. Honestly, did not know what to expect. Ive had a weird string of ALOT of cool things coming across my driveway the last couple months...wonder what my neighbors think. THIS was the coolest.
Out of respect for the owner and due to his wishes. I did not take any engine bay photos or rear photos. Also no video. I respected that and basked in the situation I was faced with. Happier than a pig in sh*t. This was a 2022 Model. Turbo V8 Diesel, manual, one step above poverty pack.
As I was drooling over this and talking to the owner, he could sense how excited I was. He turns and asks " Do you want to drive it"? IF I could have jumped out of my skin, I would have. NEVER did I think I would be driving a 70 series in America, let alone a brand new one with 4xxx miles on it....LEAVING MY FREAKING DRIVEWAY. He asked where the closest diesel station was as he wanted to top off and said I could drive there.
Needless to say, I passed some stations and SOME HOW ended a few towns over....weird. The owner and his son were smiling ear to ear as I happily drove by gas station after gas station. Wanted to share with all my cruiser buddies as well.
I do not know how he got it here. Do not know anything about it other than it is a 2022 with 4xxx miles and its amazing and everything I ever wanted and more. NO DPF garbage as well. I wish I had something to compare to...but as you can see in the back. A Prius, LX570, & a rowdy RS3. LOL. Onee funny thing I did notice in the interior. The door handles/surrounds are out of a first gen tacoma heheh

He's probably not a MUD member, right? One downside of owning something like that, one wouldn't want to share with a large audience. (As you have)
