All kidding aside, Chris' truck really is nice. It's the cleanest, best maintained Rover I've seen probably ever, in any year or model. Serious, if you are local, at least swing by and check it out and talk some turkey with Chris. Oh yeah, I'm sure he'll throw in a whole bag of zip ties at no extra cost.

With the possible exception of the comment about the zip-ties, I agree! It's a nice clean truck.

I'm gonna start the bidding at $5k and see what happens.

tell me you are kidding. I predict no bids, there will be no emotion involved. I think your truck is nice, but I sold my Rangie two years ago which was equally nice and had more offroad goodies for 5500 with 125k on the clock. You're my friend and all, but be reasonable.

I dont know. Looking around, I think $5,000 is perfectly reasonable for this truck.
sure it is, but you can't be in a hurry, and you're not gonna get it on ebay, try lrx and post on the other forums, and wait this is a slow time of year for rover sales

How do you figure it was equally as nice?

Well lets see I too went through my truck and replaced and fixed all issues, I drove it for 2.5 years and wheeled it, and I know Chris and his truck first hand, I have been in his truck, and seen under the hood and etc. That's how I know.

The reason I ask is, I think I now own the truck and it has issues that will need to be addressed when it arrives. So besides the difference in body (full of big dents) I was wondering if you had done any of these repairs or what comparable repairs were performed...

Chris you obviously have done exceptional maintenance and upgrades to your truck. Good luck in selling it. Someone will be lucky to own it.

Every rubber piece under the hood swapped out.

Replaced the Bearings in both diffs.
Replaced both front calipers with hoses,pads and Rotors.
Replaced both rear calipers and pads with 1 rotor(The other one was in spec.)
Muffler. An aluminum tailgate....New glass because I broke it taking it out.
All 5 Solenoids for the doors/tailgate.
Pitman arm and Tie Rods, Power steering pump,hoses AND box.
Converted AC to 134---New O-rings,Dryer and lines
Replaced Seals on the Brake resisivor, Accumumlator and Newer Pump.
Newer BOGE unit with new Ball joints.
It has OME Shocks and Spings and Damper...Castor Correcting Bushings and I used the OME Frame to Radius Arm Bushings.

Converted the Alternator to take a GM G-van Alternator.
