Whose Truck?

[Roverlady]

Just wondering if this was previously owned by anyone here....looks like a nice truck, although I can't tell what size tires are on it.

oh wow, in parts alone that price is good.. roof rack, arb bumper, winch, saudi grill, snorkle, rock sliders, lights, tires, seat covers, etc.. if only it was a DII, i'd buy it for the parts

 

[Roverlady]

Yeah, if I only had the extra cash.............

Frankly, I think it is overpriced. You could do better with a stock Disco about 3-4k cheaper and set it up without the crappy ARB.

That truck used to belong to Byron Knight, a member of Solaros. It is a VERY clean and VERY well maintained truck.

Will is correct. It was actually driven by Byron's wife and (believe it or not) was never off-roaded. I tried to convince my wife it would serve as a great second car to my Discovery. She would have none of it.

Byron built it up for his wife decided to never take it offroad. For $9,999 someone is getting a great trail truck.

Nice Rock Sliders

Nice rock sliders on that one. Hmmm.

 

[Roverlady]

Oh boy, I should have never advertised! I would really love to have that thing......was even pushing my husband to trade the Rangie for it!

Are you guys on the kickback program for BVLR or something? That rig books for about $6k.

Its a nice truck, but overpriced. Vehicles slick as snot with lower milage are going for 5500-6500k in the rocky mountain news! And you could get a real bumper then too! In reality the added accessories do not increase the overall value of the truck (i.e. you still need a bumper).

Hey but to some that saudi grill is worth the difference.

Bri, I agree....the truck itself isn't worth much. But to me, the accessories, and all installed could be worth close to that! OR, I could just put them all on my truck!

Now, if it had a KVT winch bumper.....it would be priceless.

 

[bri]

I think you could get better accessories for $4k, thats my point.

I'll shuddup now, it is a good looking rig afterall.

Bri, it's ok.....that's why we are all here....to express our opinions. No fear, I won't be buying it and it's going to take me the next 3 years to afford all those accessories for my Disco anyway!

We will be keeping our trucks. But maybe someone will buy it and have fun!

It reminds me of Lucas a bit but in white .. Alyssa's had less miles like 97K give or take a few and I think she sold it for less than 8.5K?? I agree with Bri, it is over priced..I pulled KBB and Edmonds (even with the gadgets they say around ~ 9K). It is a very nice looking truck nevertheless. I wonder what the engine looks like?

 

[DiscoveryXD]

nice truck, somebody will be happy.

 

[MUSKYMAN]

it looks like a good deal for someone

from zero to hero in the time it takes to write a check

if it has never been offroad you would be getting a clean high mile truck with a good selection of parts

I think you would be hard pressed to assemble all those parts and pay to have them bolted onto a clean used truck for that price.

and lets not forget...asking price is seldom rock solid.

I just sent that link to a buddy that wants a disco...and I think he'd be off to a great start with that truck

Well put.

Anyone enquiring, should ask about other upgrades/armor. It kind of looks like there are front and rear skid plates, but they are not mentioned. I would wonder about any other upgrades like steering and suspension, there are likely some that are not mentioned.
