Her faults:

• Paint is by no means perfect. There are a few small knicks & dings from normal use
• Interior is very good for her age, but by no means perfect.
• Dash has a long crack across the top from sun exposure
• Rear windshield wiper does not work. Electrical works, but needs a new arm put on.
• Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir needs to be updated. When front bumper was put on, the OEM reservoir was relocated to the back corner of the engine compartment. It could stand being updated to a smaller reservoir tank more suited for that corner for a better fit.

Her absolute strengths:

• Go anywhere / Climb anything vehicle — Rock Star — Overland / Expedition Ready
• All electrical and mechanical works great with the exception of the rear windshield wiper noted.


Asking Price: $12,250.00

Wow, and super rare without the sunroof! Tall People! You will fit!
Dang, the timing is wrong for me, but I am sorely tempted. Good luck with the sale.

FAQ's over the past 24 hours

Q: Why did you have to replace the original engine?
A: The original engine blew a head gasket last year, and the labor cost to replace a head gasket runs about $3,500. So, instead of tearing down the original engine with all the cleaning costs involved just to replace the head gasket, my mechanic suggested that I could replace the entire engine with a newer engine for $6,300. I decided on the latter, and it runs excellent.

Q: Are you the original owner?
A: My wife is the 2nd owner and we've had it for over 14 years. She bought it from the original owner in late 2005; he only owned it for 11 months and put 14K miles on it.

Thanks for your interest!
