Help pls . Is this Truck worth the $$.
Im looking at an 06 LX 470 on kingschariot.com


Price $24 k
Miles 199k

Timing belt , Brake electronic booster and Pads x4 , Oils changed all done .
It has had the ride height delete and Dobinsons shocks and springs .
About 3 inch lift per the shop mgr .

It has front diff dropped.
Roog rack , awning , icon wheels 17 inch and 33.5 BFG,s
It came from AZ and looks very rust minimum on the FLICKER photos.

Retail for Parts is 10k.
KBB.com say 13k to 17k for retail price for an 06 woth 199k miles .
Labor per the shop owner takes 2 weeks to build one of these . Longer now because Covid has parts on wait .

Is this a good truck and worth the cash ?
I plan on overland camping , imogene pass and Moab.
Ty for ALL the input .

Hmm...I wouldn't consider the OME Dobinson suspension an upgrade over the original AHC, $$ docked, or at least no value add. Wheels, no value add also. Front bumper and winch, is a value add. Roof rack and awning, also value adds. Weird that there is no rear bumper with a spare tire swing out or sliders, and to me that's where the real value add would be. Tires are never a value add. Ever.

If it was me in the market I would offer tops, $17k, and that's $3k over the my $14k threshold.

Another first time poster plugging a KC vehicle - and seeming to try very hard to justify the price? Wasn't the thread from a few days ago enough of a dumpster fire - do we really need to do this again?

So i take your answer to be a NO ?

Why is the truck a dumpster fire ?
Price aside ?

They were saying that the thread itself was a dumpster fire. KC had hopped onto the thread to defend their ludicrous pricing. Some of the forum users broke down the additions to the cruiser and showed that the markup was not worth the work that had been done to it.
