My New 80 Series

[wngrog]

It arrived yesterday.

150,800 miles, Lockers, OME, Kaymar, ARB with 4 IPF's, Warn 9000.

Brand new 295 BFG AT/KOs. It has factory fog light switches for the lights, cupholder, IPF backup light, interior is in great shape.

Buddy of mine owned it in Dallas from 50,000 miles to 145,000 miles. Another friend bought it 2 years ago and only put 5,000 miles on it, but fixed all the small stuff and made it nice. Now he is going to get a boat and I get a beautiful Cruiser.

I am stoked! So nice to go outside in the morning, crank and go.

40th? What's the emblem on the fenders? Looks good, what are your plans?

 

[Bodean]

Plans??? Sell the thing in a few months I'd bet!

 

[euclid]

Looks good. Get a personalized plate: 4sale

VERY, VERY COOL! Perfectly outfitted, and white is still the best color in my opin............no, wait, green (did I say white?) green is the best color (especially dark metallic green), and since I like to get something different from time to time, I'd be willing to trade you even.....bein' as how it's you and all

CONGRATS on the new acquisition!

40th anniversary tag on the fender Jes.

Plans:

Cut the fender bars off

Snorkel

Roof Rack

Ride up and down the road from Canton to Madison.

Enjoy the fuel injection and auto tranny.

For the record, my 60 actually rides smoother :laughing:

This thing is super clean and nice. I have been eying it since I bought the 60. Julie got in the 60 the other day when it was 22* and told me it was time for a new car

Done.

 

[Bodean]

Heard through the grapevine that you might have a deal workin' on the 60???

 

[lenross1]

I checked it out today. its nice.

tag on the fender says "collector's edition". I think your friend put that there

I envy your cupholder..

Cut the fender bars off


Done.

I'm no expert but I didn't think white was one of the colors for a 40th?? Collectors Edition maybe?

Good call on the fender bars - never liked the looks of them. Really nice truck though!

 

[Land Speeder]

That thing is terrible. I'll be over to relieve you of it later this week.

Everything points to a legit Collector's Edition... trim pieces and two-tone wheels... nice score... those were rolling off the line in 97 when the 98 hunnerds were... What's the manu. date on it? Aug 97?

Exactly - looks loke a Collectors Edition and not a 40th to me as well. Very nice truck Nolen.

 

[Land Speeder]

Will your ARB roof rack not fit this? That'd be the cats nuts. Otherwise, everything is for sale...

 

[wngrog]

I will have to order another rack, this one would fit, but the guy that wants my 60 also wants the rack.

I also have a local guy coming to look at the 60 tomorrow so if he wants the truck I will have to contact my guy in GA and let him know I have a serious local buyer.

 

[wngrog]

Sorry, it does say collectors edition.

 

[Land Speeder]

Sorry, it does say collectors edition.

never any doubt that it says it, someone upward had mentioned about it maybe being a fake one since so many people fake badge these things... but yours one looks legit or at least a good fake... the two-tone wheels are the ringer for me.... those are relatively hard to get and stupid to try to replicate with a rattle can. What month was it manufactured?

 

[Bossman]

Who said fake? Not me...
