Up for sale is my previous Overlander. ‘Ol’ Blue. She is a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with the Magnum 5.9L (360 C.I.D) auto transmission and NP 241 transfer case. She has the stock Dana 60 axles front and rear with 4:11 gears sitting on 305/85R16 A/Ts.
Has a 1995 Laramie interior swap: dash, door panels, overhead console, power windows and locks.
It’s setup and ready to go.

I’m asking $3500 but to a forum member I’m willing to go to $2000 without the Mile Marker Winch and HD Power Steering Pump.

I bet you hate to see her go. The money will help you with your Bronco build though and wipe away the tears. :-)
Two days ago I was second guessing myself... took it around the block one time, and realized that as much as I loved the old girl, the Bronco is going to be worth mor to myself and to others down the road.

the money is definitely going to help the Bronco Build... Junkyard motor is now payed for and have cash to spare to rent/buy the tools needed for the engine/transmission swap.

I have the vehicle that will get the job done for me. I just wish it had a Ford name instead of Land Rover so that I could trust it more. The LRD2 is just too complicated for an old school guy like me but I know the newer Ford's are complicated too. I really kick myself for not buying the $1000 Bronco I found in Tucson Az. with a bad transmission as my preferred rig. I guess the way things turned out with my health I made the right choice since my ability to work on cars diminished greatly and the LRD2 didn't require as much effort to build.

I wish I could find a deal like that on a Bronco today... the price jumped huge last month. And right now is a seller’s market for any automobile. Dealerships are buying up all the used inventory and finding private sellers is getting hard (around here at least) which is jacking up the price of used stuff... a lot.

There is a faded 80's model ?? Bronco sitting in a yard about 1000 ft from where I sit. I'm pretty sure I could buy it for a grand but I dont need it now. I'll take a pic if the guy will sell. I cant stand to see it just sit there. There is a older 4x4 Toyota sitting for sale about A 1000 ft away from the Bronco. The lady said all it needed was a new battery. I'm sure it can be bought cheap too.

I know a few people looking for 78-96 Broncos. I can pass the word along
