WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK CALLED THE "DESERT RUNNER" WAS CUSTOMBUILT BY "PANTHER WESTWINDS LTD" OF THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR A FORMER AMERICAN HEAVY WEIGHT BOXING CHAMPION AT A COST OVER $250,000.00. YOU CAN GOOGLE THEIR NAME AND SEE ALL THEIR CONVERSIONS. THE TRUCK IS IN MINT CONDITION, HAS ONLY 1,027 MILES, NEVER DRIVEN OFF ROAD AND SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED FACILITIES. WE HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE TRUCK AROUND THE BLOCK. THE ALL TIME 4WD WORKS AND A LEVER ENGAGES THE 3RD AXLE TO MAKE IT A 6WD. PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF WE HAVE TAKEN IT OFF ROAD AND HOW IT PERFORMS?
