I'm asking 12000obo considering a fully refurbished one is 30+k. You be the judge and I'm open to reasonable offers. I have compiled a list and links to pics and videos so let me know. I'm being very honest so let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks! Located in Valdosta, GA
I have taken a few trips in this rig and used it for a camping vehicle and its been my daily driver for around 5 months. Frame is in good order and It passes the conversation test at 55mph. It has been a daily driver since I have fixed everything. Bulkhead is good. I figure this is one of the nicest series rigs I have ever seen for the money and anything better is fully restored so the price isn'y concrete.. but make me a descent offer. Cranks up the first time and has never let me down. Engine is great and passes the dollar bill test. I can't thank you guys enough for helping me with some of the questions I have had over the past year but its time for this to go to a new home.
Thanks,
Rhett Burroughs

Whats wrong:

-Bottom inside of the doors have some corrosion
-rear main seal weeps a tad

-Salsbury rear end (aka Dana 60) -drool
-111~k miles
-EVERYTHING works great! I mean everything even the heater
-Headliner is there .. sags just a tad... I have never seen a new one ... so I don't know if it is sagging or not. Looks fine to me.
-Brand new radial tube tires w/ defender rims 285/17r16 I believe .. the tall skinny ones comes out to 30.5in diameter tires
-RHD
-Fairley OD
-Cruises at 65
-Gears change fine.. Nice and solid no stiring soup
-4x4 works fine
-2.25 petrol
-Get around 18mpg loaded down with gear
Now for the cute stuff:
Defender tdi snorkel fitted properly. No ghettoness
K&N Air filter
Hella 500s
Brush Guard
3/4 length roof rack
axle breathers
parabolic spring lift
built center console

CB
rear backup lamp on roof rack
I have added flooring to the roof rack (chicken coop 19 gauge stuff... works great)
Pintle Hook
Steering Guard
Rear jump seats, center rear seat, and sun visors included
--I have had a bunch of tire kickers and empty promises so if you are seriously interested then please contact me and we can work something out.
