The bad:
- Some bondo work on the body (though definitely not a bondo-queen)
- The door striking plate has seperated from the body for about a 12". Needs a bead run to reconnect. Since I usually don't run doors, haven't bothered with it.
- No radio antenna.
- Front bumper is without paint.
- Not positive on actual mileage; last owner advised the figure was original miles, but I have no way to verify.
- It's 33 years old, and it doesn't enjoy the cold. Once warmed up though, it's a champ. I typically start it, go back inside for a quick coffee, then head out.
- I have two hardtops, both of which have seen better days and therefore, I won't try to install them. As mentioned above, the quarters and rear doors seem to be
in great shape, though.

Notes:
- The radio is wired to be "always on", ie: so the vehicle can be off but the radio could still be played. If I were to keep this, I'd install a switch (probably under the passenger dash) to cut power.

- Manual steering. I haven't listed this under "the bad" as I think it adds to the flavor of the vehicle. I had the locker moved from the rear to the front, so even with manual steering, it is easy to drive on the road.

I've got this listed on Craigslist for $9750, but the MUD price is $8500. If it's not sold by 20th Feb 2011, it'll be heading into storage, as I'll be heading overseas.

If you want more pictures, let me know, I just took a boatload of them for a guy in VA.

If you'd like any info / have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

This was my rig and it has always been worked on by a master Toyota/Lexus tech, Lextech Automotive. LexTech is a Land Cruiser enthusiast and a Mud member. When I sold it to Du510 it was mechanically sound and that was only about 6-8 months ago. It is a 40 so it shows its age but be rest assured it has been taken care of and gone through.
Ford shock towers
gas tank was acid etched and re-lined
transfer case was rebuilt
new rear seals
new 3rd member
the steel wheels were brand spanking new and painted. No reconditioned steel rims
I had the speedo housing taking to the machinist so I could have 2 seals on it
the locker is an Aussie locker
Tom Woods in the rear
carb was rebuilt by(I can't remember the members name but everyone wants his rebuilt carbs)
New cylinders on rear drum brakes
lockable console(can't remember the name but it's the popular brand)
I only put about 300 miles on the brand new 33x10.5 BFG KM2's
There's more but it's late and my brain isn't functioning properly(I know, it's only 9:11 pm)
Also had good compression across the board.
 
Bump. Looks like I'm going to be here overseas for longer than anticipated. So, thinking again best to sell as the storage bill isn't exactly cheap.

Since the above (and before I left), I did the following:

- Got a new Optima Redtop battery. It sits at my place on Folly, on the trickle charger. No dead batteries here. Obviously, would go with the truck.

- Took out the old stereo, returned it to WestMarine under warranty, and got the exact same thing, brand new. It's still in the box. The speakers are still mounted and wires run, you just need to pop the BRAND NEW stereo in. It's a $200 or so stereo headunit; I didn't want to install just to sit.

$7500 fellas, come and get it.
 
I'll bump it for an awesome soft top, hate to see ya get rid of it, but I do understand.... BUMP!!! BEST YEAR EVER!!!
 
I'll sure miss her but I am glad she's going to someone with as much passion and enthusiasm as you. Good luck, and keep us all updated.

This beauty is officially sold.
