Time has come to sell my Cruiser. Owned and enjoyed it for 6 years. Only ever did backroads with it, and some snow-wheeling, never did any hardcore wheeling. 352,xxx km's. 5 speed.
The bad:
Rusty. Frame is good, rusty fenders, rusty doors, hole in the floor in front of the driver's side fender, behind driver's seat area. I have done ugly spray bomb touchup with Tremclad on the body. Driver's door is bashed in (coworker backed a forklift into it). I have a black replacement door for the truck in my storage ready to go. Had the rear spare tire carrier modified to handle a full size spare (truck has 31x10.5 Duratracs on it). The extra weight has caused sagging, pin in the door needs fixing. Last summer the heater control was sticking, I was a dummy and moosed it, broke the slider. There is a wrecker in the Interior of B.C. that has a BJ70 in there that had the heater controls intact last time I was through there. Leaks somewhere, wet carpet on the driver's side in the rainy season is the norm. Slow battery drain, if I work on the road for a week or 2 then it kills the batteries. I disconnect them before I head out now. I have aftermarket lights/stereo/vhf in the truck, could be one of the above causing it. No back seat, ran out of places to store it last year.
The good:
Rear bumper with tow hooks.
tinted all around
roof racks
Aftermarket turbo and manifold for it comes with truck (not installed)
Receipts back to 1997.
Batteries are 4 months old (not sure where the receipt is, will search for it. $300 I believe for a pair)
5 matching 31x10.5 duratracs on rock crawler steel wheels. tires have just shy of 30,000km on them, lots of life left in them ($1400 December 2012)
cruisingoffroad front bumper ($1000)
edic replaced 2013 ($439)
windshield done 2013, new gasket also.
diff and transmission fluid done 2013
main drive belt, front axle seals in diff done 2013 - $1100
motor overhauled at 292,000km by Alltoy Kamloops. injectors, rocker, governor. $1200
rear end redone by Alltoy around 2010, have to search for bill.
Vhf radio is not included in the sale, nor are my KC lights and most of my stereo gear. Will leave wiring in place for amp(s). The bumper was done by Jason at Cruisinoffroad, did a great job. Powdercoated, light tabs, hidden receiver mount for a front hitch, solid tow d rings.
Ugly truck, but very capable. Been my daily driver for the last 6 years.
$4000 firm, no trades. More photos to come.
