    Well, it’s time.

    Southern truck came to Maine in 2015 from Florida. I fluid filmed it immediately and for a few years. Frame is original and solid. 223,500 miles

    I have done all the maintenance since buying it in Florida except for a new exhaust system this year. The truck is stock. I’m the third owner as far as I know. It started life in Tennessee I believe.

    Comes with 2nd gen alloys with older used Michelins and Steelies with Wildpeaks with a matching spare. I hade the Wildpeaks road force balanced.

    Things I’ve done. Upgraded steering rack bushing. New starter, alternator, radiator, rear shocks, both door handles, tailgate handle, bell crank passenger side, all new OEM fuel injectors, plugs and wires, full valve cover gasket job with all the extra seals and pcv valve and related stuff, oil changes every 3,500 miles or so. All new fluids in both diffs, transfer case and transmission. Regular greasing of all zerks with moly grease. Recent full front brakes. Rear brakes checked and good. There is stuff I’m forgetting but I’ll update. All valves are in spec. I have the numbers.

    Has the BORA 1.25 inch wheel spacers so I could get the second gen alloys to not rub up front.

    Just did the crank position sensor. Runs like a new truck now! Doh!

    New wiper blades this past month. New tailgate cables. LED backup lights.

    We’ve had our fun with it. My kid loves it but isn’t interested in using it as a daily driver. We need a newer truck to do things as a family that we just can’t do with this truck. We are not happy to have come to this conclusion as this truck is part of our identity. You know how it goes.

    I think the floor on this is $10,000 and I’m open to ALL feedback.

    It needs: heater cable installed. I have it. I bought but never installed the steering rack big rubber bushing kit. I’ve got a few other bits that go with it, like a new oem oil filter. I’ve got an appointment to properly recharge the air conditioning. Just got weak this summer.

    That’s the highlights. I’ll clarify as I get feedback and review my file.

    Topper comes with it. The topper is nothing special.

    I’m in the early stages of getting ready to sell it. Let me know what you think and if you have any interest or questions. Thanks.

    Sweet truck. But you need more pics, especially of the frame.
