Love to, but no. Bruce mentioned to me at cc days he was probably going to sell it to fund his 42.

I am crossposting this from the TLC Vancouver Island thread aince this guy is in Delta.
Beware of this guy:
http://victoria.craigslist.ca/cto/5164919547.html
I talked to him on the phone. He is in Delta, BC. He is an older guy, didn't speak very good english, but he did a facetime video call with me and walked all around his LX. It looked decent from the video. We agreed on a price, barring anything major I found while I was there. I was planning an engine swap, so I wasn't overly concerned about engine issues. We set up a time to meet at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal this morning. I offered a deposit to hold it for me, but he didnt know how to etransfer, and gave me his word it was mine on wednesday morning.
So this morning I call him and get his voicemail. It was early, so I boarded the ferry from Victoria anyway. Long story short, he left me stranded at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. His phone is still off ignoring my phonecalls. I am very disappointed and discouraged after taking one of my very few vacation days and spending a couple hundred bucks on gas, parking, ferry tickets and a $70 Carproof report.
There was a red flag.
The carproof report showed a reported accident on August 4, 2015. I called him back and confronted him about it. He says he forgot to tell me about it, he showed me, via a facetime video, a small scratch on the trailer hitch and said that was the only damage but he reported it to ICBC. ICBC would not confirm or deny this due to pricavy reasons.
So either it was a scam to begin with and he is hiding damage, or he sold it to someone else and didnt have to balls to cancel our meeting time, knowing full well I was taking the ferry over. Either way, unless he had some medical emergency, he is a complete lowlife as far as I am concerned.
Oh and the wifi on the ferries is slow

Coppied form the VI thread;
Ok so update....
Just as my return ferry to Victoria is docking at Swartz Bay, my phone rings and its the guy. He is profusely appologetic. Says something happened to his phone, he was waiting for my phone call and thought I lost interest because I never called him. (At least he thought I didnt because his phone wasnt working)
He appologized 1000x and offered to knock a substantial amount off the purchase price, which I had already bartered down, if I return, because him and wife felt so bad.
I stayed on the ferry and went all the way back. He was there and truck was as advertized. He only had it a few months, he is the 3rd owner according to carproof.
Has cosmetic issues that I dont care about, and a few minor things, leaking oil seals in the front diff, cracked leather and the usual stuff. Diff locks engage instantly and it runs/shifts great. Best part, undercarriage has absolutely no rust, I couldnt believe it. So I brought it home
I withdraw my lowlife comment. He was genuinely appoligetic. I am now on my 4th ferry ride today.

Good on you for giving the seller a 2nd chance. **it happens....
Luckily it all worked out for you, congrats on the truck.
For you guys with taco's/tundras, a Toyota branded bed tent:

those ones aren't that great. You're better off with a regular ground tent.
Not a TLC, but posting for some neighbours/friends

Not many places in BC to wheel that Ford behemoth

Jackass of all trades
Would be like trying to wheel the Titanic...
Sad to see a perfectly good Land Cruiser abused like that. Took him 3 years to make it that ugly?
