Diesel, Factory triple locked, winch, ARB Bumper, Sliders, Air, and roof rack. The truck is in perfect working order, ready for any adventure. But life's priorities change and I'm sad to put it up for sale.
Decided not to sell it right now - daughter had too much fun driving it.
PM me if you want to convince me otherwise
322,xxx km
200,xxx miles
Original domestic purchased for $20k through Outback Imports in Feb 2007 w/150,000km
Fully baselined at ATEB at that time (including BEB)
$17k in parts alone spent since then (listed below)
I purchased it in 2014 and maintained it regularly since.
No accidents. No rust. No smoking.
Drives great super quick off the line (relatively speaking), sounds great, looks great, always a conversation starter.
Its a BC truck and we dont use much road salt here (partly because it never snows in Vancouver).
Cared for by the crew at Coastal Auto Centre #coastalautocentre (If Lambo and McLaren owners take their cars there, I feel like its a decent shop).

- Chassis and Engine Manuals, aftermarket parts instruction manuals, as well as customized part numbers list and modification details provided to help out down the road
- eligible for US import
What's wrong:
- Typical small leaks/weeps from a 25+ year old truck. It doesn't lose any fluids in quantities sufficient to require refilling. Oil level doesn't change between fills. Doesnt leave any marks on the ground after being parked.
- Front wipers high speed position has never worked, possibly needs switch cleaning.
- Ding in the front windshield, about 1/2" in diameter.
- Antenna snapped and missing
Importing to USA
- Meets the 25-year import rule.
- Vehicle has a North American (British Columbia) VIN. Imports directly from overseas don't and it can be a big hassle obtaining one.
- I'm familiar with import/export process and will facilitate the process so the buyer has access to all the information required to successfully register and insure the vehicle in the US.
- Willing and able to deliver vehicle to Pacific Northwest - if farther, might have to negotiate something. This will save you the step of having to get a permit to drive it from Canada to US.
- Import and emissions documents: DOT Form H7, EPA Form 3520-1 and Bill of Sale can all be prepared on your behalf.
