Its relisted now with a lower reserve and buy it now price. If it doesn't go this time my wife is going to have to suck it up. My reserve is what I've got into it.

Thanks... Auction ends today and have a couple nibbles... not the response I was hoping for...

Wednesday Bump

Monday Bump

I just put this up for sale on eBay. Really surprised I haven't gotten more local response... Great truck. Really don't want to sell but it just didn't get the wife acceptance factor (after she encouraged me to buy it in the first place!).

Friday Bump

Thursday bump

It's a great truck. I really don't want to sell it either but sometimes things just have to give. I won't say there aren't any nicer, because I know there are, but this truck is one you can pick up and just tinker and fix stuff on your timeline. Nothing in dire need of fixing to have a very...

Just listed my troopy for sale :( Just one too many vehicles for the wife to be happy. STi, Sequoia, 95 Ram, VTX1800, Vulcan, and travel trailer. The troopy was the straw apparently...

For sale is a 1984 Australian spec HJ47 Troopy. Asking $29,000 on Craigslist. ExPo price $27,000. I'd really like this truck to go to someone who can appreciate it. 309,300 km on the original strong running 2H motor with a rebuilt head and new radiator within the last 20,000 km. Just replaced...

Looks really nice. Fall colors are all gone here now. Waiting for the whiteout!

I don't think we'll ever see a return to simple options lists. The options is where the car companies are making their money... selling you crap nobody would buy if they had a real choice...
