    Sold!!!
    I've been delaying putting this up for sale, but the time has come. It is my 5th vehicle and it doesn't get driven enough. I would rather it be sold to someone that can put it to good use than it just sit and rot away. I bought it 6 years ago out of central California with 216000 miles on it, it currently has 229740, which may go up very slowly. Not triple locked. It has one spot of rust on the rear hatch, but NO rot on the frame, just some light surface rust. AC works very well, heat is great, all windows and door locks work as they should. It has a 4" slee lift and Bilstein shocks, and ARB front bumper, 35" Cooper STT Pros. I also have a set of Lightforce 240s that can go with it. I took them off to sell it, but don't have anything else to put them on. If you want them too, they're yours.
    Recent work I've done to it includes; resealed front axle with new bearings, rebuilt both front and rear drivelines, fan clutch, front main seal, Dobinsons rear adj track bar, custom cat back exhaust with aftermarket, but quiet muffler. It runs really well, and drives pretty good too. I don't think it's been regeared, but it does pretty good, you certainly won't win any races but it isn't painfully slow. diff fluid changed last summer. The interior is kind of dirty, but in really good shape. The third row seats are pulled, but I have them. The spare mount I built and it uses the factory third seat bracket attachment point.
    A few things that aren't great, the pan gasket seeps a little, not enough to have to add between changes, but you can a spot here and there. Transfer case rear output seeps a little. I check it at every oil change and have only added a small amount once. Distributor oring just started leaking, but not much. The antenna doesn't go all the way up or down. The suspension bushings could be replaced, they aren't terrible but it is something that could be done. I'll probably put a battery in it before it sells, this one is ok, but it's pretty crusty. On startup the tachometer reads low and kind of bounces but only when it's cold outside.
    It's really been a great camping/hunting vehicle and I had no intention of getting rid of it, but my new side job is better suited with a pickup, and it's going to get a bunch of hard miles so I didn't want to beat on this thing. I bought a Tacoma, and now that I have it, I never drive this. It's certainly not the cleanest 80 out there, but it is pretty dang solid.
    Asking $15,000 OBO. I'm open to reasonable offers. Located in northern Nevada, about an hour east of Reno.
    I have a bunch more pictures on my add on mud.

    I thought that area looked familiar. I've been exploring DV for the last 30 years. Love it out there.
