Impulse purchase!

[jeff@work]

While I abosolutely love my Trooper there are some temptations I just can't pass up. :jump:

It's a 2004 E-250 5.4 V8 with the Quigley 4x4 conversion and the Sportsmobile penthouse popup roof. It has 72k on it which is obviously high for a 2004 so hopefully those were mostly highway miles. Since the previous owner had fog lights and backup lights mounted underneath the bumpers i'm assuming he didn't do too much hard core offroading....i know if i don't take them off tomorrow they'll be gone after my first trip off road :sombrero: One other cool feature is the roof mounted spotlight....it has a remote control just next to the steering wheel so you can control where it's aimed.

Oh yeah...the reason i couldn't pass it up...i got it for $13k :smileeek:

Anyone want to buy a 2002 Trooper LS with OME suspension?

That's ************!!! Can't wait to hear your trail impressions on it.

 

[cipioxx]

Excellent find. It looks great and the price was unbelievable!

 

[cshontz]

Nice find! Quigley is on my turf - I'd like to pay them a visit sometime to see their operation.

 

[jeff@work]

Thanks guys I'm really excited about the van. I've been wanting one for years. I can't wait to start designing the interior to make it a nice comfortable camper for extended trips....and of course it's going to need bigger tires...arb in the rear...gears...sliders...oh man what did i get myself into

 

[sacto_patrol]

You make me sick!
I will give you $13.5K for it. Look you already made a profit.

Honestly congratulations that is one hell of a deal.

That's a really nice find! :Wow1:
I gotta think that's way below book value before you include the 4WD and top conversion. At that price, I would've been tempted too!

I wouldn't worry about 72K on the 5.4ltr. That's probably Ford's best selling and performing motor. It's the same one they use in their F-150 pickup and how many bazillions of those are on the road? Good option over their V10 for MPG, even to sacrifice a little horsepower.

The pop-top is great. Nothing like being self contained and never needing more than a parking space to set up. With that snow on the peaks in the background coming already, you might put a heater solution high up on your to-do list!

So what's the interior like?

:lurk:

And I'll give you $13.6K. Wow, that's a great price for a even greater vehicle!!! Happy building.
