Kelly Blue book Private Party Value: $7,245

I bought this at 97K Miles and it had been a yuppie-larva hauler to that point. I had the local LR dealer do the complete 90K mile service for a baseline and it passed with flying colors outside of the normal fluid leaks that LR?s are known for. Brake pads replaced at 100K. Passed Washington State vehicle & emmision inspection 8/2004. Have all service records.

I added the following since I bought it 2 years ago:

External:
1) Brown Church Roof rack (I added expanded metal flooring)
2) ARB Bull Bar
3) Warn 8000lb Winch w/ 5/16"x100' SuperLine synthetic cable and Master Pull safty hook (16500 lb)
4) Rear ladder
5) QT diff guards front/rear
6) Steering guard
7) OME lift kit: heavy duty front/rear shocks w/ heavy duty front/rear springs
8) 5 15"x8" American Racing black rims
9) 5 33/12.5 50R15 BF Goodrich AT tires (1500-2000 miles on 4 - spare never on road) with fitted Tire chains
10) 4 IPF 130W rectangle lights, 2 IPF 130W round lights, 2 IPF 50W backup lights
11) Safari Snorkle
12) DAP Fender Flares
13) Window air deflectors
14) Professionally painted anti-glare bonnet (not that cheap sticker)
15) Homemade door sill sliders 1/8" steel

It also comes with Great Basin Rovers built front & rear diffs with 4.11 gears and ARB front/rear airlockers and ARB compressor. I never installed them from about a year ago because I was waiting to upgrade the axels and cv?s when I did it.

----------------------------------
Inside:
40CH CB radio
Garmin GPS Map12, mount, & antenna
Waterproof neoprene front seat covers
removable laptop table mount
Custom sun shades
Load space mat
-------------------------
Recovery gear:
2 2"x30' Pro Comp recovery straps
1 3"x15' Pro Comp tree saver
4 Shackles
ARB snatch block
60" Steel Hi-Lift jack w/plastic base & adaptor
Tuffy Security Box 36x36
----------------------------
Spare parts:
Radiator Hoses
Fan belts
MAF Sensor
Spare working Engine Computer
4 new universal joints (not installed)
Set of 5 original street tires & LR 16" rims, bottle jack
Complete parts list from Insurance adjustors book and from repair shop book
Complete set of LR Workshop manuals on 3 CD's
Haynes LR Repair manual

Assorted tools ? about $500 worth of wrenchs, screwdrivers, etc.

The only thing wrong with the truck is that I drug the left catalytic converter on a rock and cracked it, so it has an exhaust leak. Other than that, there is nothing in the world wrong with this truck. The reason I?m selling it is because I don?t go off-roading hardly anymore and my priorities are changing.

As you can see, I have added almost $12K in outfitting this rig, not to mention the labor.

This rig is ready to hit the trail right now & can be yours for $15K, not a dime less though as it?s clear I?m taking a huge loss. The title is clean.

Door Trimming

You won't see the trimming on the rear doors unless I remove the flares, so sorry, that won't happen. The rear flares completely cover the trimming inside & out. They were done per the instructions from DAP.

I think it is a nice truck, but I think you will have a tough time selling it for double blue book unless you find someone who has to have it. I wish you the best though. If you decide to part somethings out though I might be interested.

Time to take a bath

OK, folks, I guess I'll have to admit I'm gonna take a bath on this.

Someone can have it all for $9000, OBO. Hell, the lockers with the 4.1's cost me a quarter of that.

Email me if your interested
