Included items:
Everything I got the truck with, including
•Giant chock blocks for winching
•English owners manual
•MPT80 spare, likely original to the truck, its a 12.5x20 so a bit smaller than the XM-47's but it's a nice piece of mind.

*Spares:*
I have some spare parts, portal output seal, brake hoses, brake pads, air repair kit, basically, if I needed something, I ordered 2 and put the spare set in the back. Bulbs, bunch of other stuff. When I first got the truck, the clutch slave seeped a bit, I purchased a new slave cylinder, and of course, with use, it stopped, so that's included, in case it ever starts again, but I think it was just from sitting, all seems fine now. Fuel filters, all kinds of goodies. Really it hasn't needed much, so only picked up a few things here and there.

•Trygg Tire chains, one set still BNIB, one set test fitted and drove down the driveway with.

•Front parking brake, in addition the the rear parking brake, the front brakes can be locked on for heavy pulls. This is done via air, and that means both calipers, that's all 6 calipers locked for pulling bliss.
•Synthetic oils always used since I acquired it.
•I've tried my best to keep it just as it should be, as original as possible, no monkey #%^@ with any wiring, etc.

•Werner winch, sits nice and far back, so all the weight of the truck is on it, when the 4wheel parking brake is on, and chock blocks are in front of the tires, this thing will pull like mad, I've done several recoveries with it, and never had an issue with power. It should have no issue pulling the truck itself out, but I've never needed to

Under 45000 original KM's (currently at 42000), I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in the world.

SOLD, thanks for all the inquiries!

You edited out the asking price - might be nice to leave on the thread for future comparisons! Sweet looking rig!

Oh really? Sorry, the local 4x4 forum I'm a member of its a rule that once a sale is made (or deal pending in this case) you remove the price as a courtesy to the new owner. I always thought it was weird but just assumed that was common practice...and when you assume...;) My bad. I'll edit it once I get back to a PC rather than my mobile.

asking price and price paid are two separate things anyway. id bother to edit only if asked, myself. in which case, i wouldnt take the time to edit back either. anyone serious about a mog has done enough looking to get a feel. one ad wont make or break someone.

Trev, sorry to see it go! Do tell what your next rig will be.

PS--have you had luck with the Dynabeads? I need some for my Hutchinson's.

Beautiful rig, it'd be a shame to convert it into a camper though...which is what I'm after! Still very tempting!

Best of luck with the sale!

Cheers

Hasn't went yet :)

My Dynabeads work great. I'd recommend them for sure. I've had them in three trucks, all good results.

The nice thing about the beads vs weights, are the beads are a dynamic balance, thus, they are able to rebalance when you start moving, so if you have ice in your rim (very common for me, often grill deep in snow), or mud in your tread, they will (to a point of course) adjust accordingly.

Looking forward to it!
