    SOLD
    Asking 10k, Located in Fort Collins, CO.

    The need for 4 doors has sadly brought me to put this up for sale.

    In addition to a fully rebuilt cylinder head, almost the entire front end has been rebuilt during my ownership. It runs and drives perfectly and gets great mileage. The driver's seat is torn and has some new seat covers that do the job, Small dent below the rear passenger taillight and the tailgate is sort-of beat up. You'll notice the remnants of some rad 90's splash-style graphics on the side. I planned to mask off and repaint these, but they could be removed and buffed away if it's not your style.

    This is probably one of the most bulletproof/simple trucks of the modern era. Manual hubs, 5 speed manual trans, manual J-shift transfer case, no ABS, crank windows, etc. Far fewer things to go wrong. It's spent most of its life in the CO mountains, so there is some normal surface rust underneath but the body is totally rust-free.

    List of parts installed in the in the last 10k miles:

    Rebuilt cylinder head, full gasket kit, coolant flush
    ARB bumper
    Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner 265/70rR16 tires on 80 Land Cruiser 16x8 wheels, no spacers
    Bilstein 5100 rear shocks
    Bilstein BE5-D558-T0 front shocks/springs
    New inner and outer tie rods
    New upper control arms and ball joints
    New lower control arms and ball joints
    New poly steering rack bushings
    New front pads and rotors
    New rear drums and shoes
    New steering rack bellow
    New sway bar end links
    Re-webbed front driver's seatbelt
    New front brake lines
    New spark plugs, fuel filter, air filters
    Oil changes of course
    All 4 new speakers, some Alpine bluetooth head unit
    RAM phone mount
    Alignment
    New rear bumper
    New glove box lid

    What were the symptoms leading you to have the cylinder head rebuilt?

    Does this have cruise control?

    Low compression and leakdown on cylinder 4 showed bad exhaust valves. I originally planned to do a TDI swap but didn't end up having the time. It ran fine before the head but the exhaust sounded a little "putty". Now it sounds great. I didn't have the existing head rebuilt, rather I just bought a complete remanufactured head from APR in Colorado Springs.

    It does have cruise. That's pretty much the only "option".
