Enthusiast III
Please see the link here to my build thread of the car. I truly believe this is an awesome car for the Overlanding beginner. With a LSD rear diff and and a 4.44 Ratio with an automatic transmission it makes for a great trail vehicle and cruises solid at 70 mph @ under 3k rpm on the highway. If your looking to get something to start out that is already built up with a very dependable AWD system, truly look no further.
I have meticulously maintained this car, and I am sure most of us have, in order to keep it always trail ready for every adventure life throws at me. It makes for an awesome recovery vehicle, especially for those cocky jeeps that can get stuck. I am asking $4,500 and it will come with everything in the build thread minus the Method wheels, Car will be on a set of 15" Forester Steel wheels with a set of street tires, and it will not have the roof top tent. For the Price I will include the 235/75/15 tires with roughly 5k miles on them (the front two have less than 1k miles on them) as well as full size spare tire to go along with it (again no wheel mounted though). $4,200 and you bring your own wheels and I keep the 235/75/15 tires.
Items that are not in the ad are as follows
Current Mileage is 143,XXX
Head Gaskets, Water Pump, Timing Belt done at 120K
New Automatic Transmission Installed at 130K
New Front Axles and Wheel Bearing (driver side) Installed at 141K
I am open to trades, although I don't see someone offering me a trade that I am interested in; Land Rover Discovery II or Land Cruiser 100 Series as well as other vehicles of the like, but please no Jeeps.
I have countless parts that I also will be including in the sale which are including but certainly not limited to rear axles (bought more while they were on sale, haven't needed them yet, 20" curved light bar to replace the one currently in the front, it still works, just wanted to try out the curve) 30" light bar for the rear, both of these light bars are amber and white strobe with remotes, no switches needed, although I suggest installing one anyways, JDM tail lights, and I am sure there are more items that I am forgetting.
The two negatives is that the car does not have power steering, the UEL Headers have melted the power steering hoses making it run dry. The second one is that the car is very loud with the UEL headers and no muffler. The closes thing I can say that it sounds like is almost like a straight piped Chevy LS3; and yes she has some 'chop' to go with that too.
I am open to offers and willing to make a deal.
Car is currently located in Syracuse NY, I am willing to deliver it within a 4-5 hour drive, and maybe more depending on where you are and the agreed upon price.
