!!READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE BIDDING!!
(Hi, this is Zero Kazama from MTV's Silent Library, you'll be picking this rig up from me. We can go have lunch if you want.)
*Truck is in Humboldt County, CA*
*Mileage is 0 (shown on title) because it's looped over in an odometer that doesn't show over 100k ie beyond mechanical limits.
The final couple pictures are what IT CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE) - it WILL get a coat over the light grey primer area after a sanding before sale, but the pictures where the rig looks newer was just a rustoleum job the last owner did. At this low of a starting bid, the engine itself/parting it out is worth more - so here's the list of what's good and what's bad:
Pros: New engine with less than 20k on it - as in OEM crate engine (not a remy!) from Summit Racing, fires up every time, newer optima battery, rebuilt tranny about 4 years ago (previous owner, have paperwork), about $11K in service and parts receipts (link at top), procomp suspension, rear tires are brand new from Les Shwab, custom wood framing on the interior, gutted out to be a camper. 4x4 works BUT won't shift into low. Herculiner in bed. Fun as heck to camp out in, very spacious and because of the lift you'll be totally stealth when laying down.
Comes with a William Wallace Claymore as pictured.
Cons: Probably needs some suspension work and brakes but still drives around fine presently. No emission system; still has Colorado plates/will not pass smog. No a/c no radio; think of it as a bare bones rock crawler. Glove compartment has no key and neither do rear doors. Rust on typical areas but not too bad; should be an easy restoration project for someone that's into it. The chrome trim on driver side of the truck's wheel wells are gone/broke when cleaning around them. I don't think they cost much to replace..and I'd recommend getting a whole new set if you're going that route. Many people delete them anyway. Slight water/mold damage on parts of wood (very small areas, see video above). The line that shows what gear you're in is missing in the dash; I can do it by feel just fine but it may be a pain in the ass, and this sucker is a bit of a pain in the ass to drive; he's really loud and stiff. The dash itself is pretty fugly. This is a Mad Max vehicle, if you're NOT looking for a raw Mad Max vehicle, this is not for you. Rear windows are non functioning. Power locks work but they're starting to stick, and the pull-lock part of the front driver seat broke off.
I'll throw in the mattress and slats (not the cool Celtic throw, that's mine forever) if you're itching to camp in it.
Anyway, check back here often - I'll probably upload a yt link to a more detailed look at everything in the rig. Good luck bidding!
