The Good: Great off road and on the road. Lots of work done recently (front pads, new rear calipers, rear pads, rear rotors, rear wheel bearings and seals, ignition module, fuel tank, fuel pump and relay, handbrake shoes and adjuster, rear transfer case output seal and flange). Motor replaced with a lower mileage used one and it runs very strong. Passed emissions and safety inspection. All windows and door locks work. Alarm ECU replaced so everything works. New distributor less than 6 months ago. Neither of the front seats are torn but they are well worn.

The Bad: Has rust but less than the usual by far. Nothing too major and confined to the drivers floor. It is not a hole but more like a crack where the two parts of the floor come together. Could be easily patched from underneath with a flat piece of metal. Other than that, its solid. The drivers seat bracket has a hole/ ear rusted away so the drivers seat is attached to the floor by three out of the 4 bolts. Drivers seat no longer adjusts (switch issue). Front windshield wipe/ wash no longer works. I installed new relays but its either the actual switch or the MFU (BRAND NEW IN BOX ones of each are included). Just havent had the time to install one or the other to fix the problem. Faded paint and some pinstripping. Headliner sags a little bit (normal for just about every D1). Some paint sun burn.


Im selling as I am buying a D90. No other reason than that. Its been a great truck. Ive caught up on all the maintenance and attend to everything. Just did an oil and filter change along with trans flush and fill and new fluid in the diffs and transfer case. Great driver and even better off road.

Pictures: Look at my sig down below. More available if needed.

Haha, I suppose the price would help: $6300 obo. Couldnt build a truck like this at that price.

Taking it off the market for now. Need to fix a newly emerged issue. Thanks for all the comments on it. Theres a stock one for sale for $3k here and that extra $3k for mine wont build a truck anywhere close.

Like Axe said, Im in Northern Va. The issue turned out to be a a bad u joint in the Great Basin front shaft. Ill get the new one installed shortly and then itll be up again. If youre serious, PM me and I can tell you all about it.

Rebuilt (completely stripped, painted, balanced, 3 new joints and replacement cardon piece) Great Basin shaft installed along with front calipers. Now it has a completely new/ refreshed brake system. Also included are the Ashcrofts HD rear shafts I installed when I redid the rear axle. Looking to sell. If youre interested, hit me up.
