***********SOLD************
This was the truck I took to shows for Red Dirt. Need a full size truck now. it has 167k miles on it and had been well taken care of since I bought it at 130k. It has had the waterpump and timing belt done at 120k so no need again until 210k.
Asking $23,367 OBO - a steal considering the aftermarket parts alone cost a bit over $28k not including shipping and labor!!! You're easily over $35k just on aftermarket including when you include labor and shipping costs for everything if someone wanted to duplicate this build. We're talking, gears, bumpers, lockers, winch, lights etc. See build thread below for more details.
When the gears were done we upgraded the rear pinion and yolk to the upgraded and stronger splines to match the newer models.
Lot's spent on maintenance over the last few years (including a brand new OEM rack and pinion) and all parts were replaced with OEM. Interior is in pretty good shape for 167k miles. Front seats have some wear and cracking but no tears. Not perfect but ready for amazing overlanding.
Disclosure on audio: there is some crackling from the rear door speaker. I think the amp may need to be replaced (it's an older Sony xPlod I had in my FJ Cruiser before and was in someone's 4runner before that) so I will negotiate on that. The sub in the back is in a box made for the factory location in the FJ. Before deciding to sell I was going to pull it and have the factory box expanded for a 6" sub to get that room back (I have a weathertech mat for back there but can't put it in. Also wanted it out for a drawer system. If that is a must I can have that done before selling.

pccruiser Red Dirt build
I searched quite a few 100 series to find this beauty. So many had so many problems. I got crazy lucky and found one literally right after it listed on Cars.com. Only had 1 picture and no details. It was a specialty Mercedes dealership in Dallas. They said they only list it to let the exporters...
