Hi all,
After much deliberation I'm about to post my beloved "Nomad" for sale.
As with all, life changes and needs with it. I have a Tundra now and looking for a vehicle my wife and I can enjoy on the weekends.
In short, I am in the market for a 40.
I've owned this vehicle for 10 years now and it's served our family very well completing cross country road trips both on and off road with mostly mild wheeling in between.
PRICE: $14,000
Modifications:
OEM Triple Locked
ARB Deluxe Bull Bar
2 Hella Rally 4000 Euro Beam Lights with Position Lights
Warn XD 9000 Winch
Odyssey Xtreme Battery (Brand New)
ARB Onboard Air Compressor with hose attachment
ARB Diff Breather Extensions FR/RR Axles
Safari Snorkel
Slee Stainless Steel Extended Brake Lines
DBA 4000 Series Rotors FR/RR with OEM Toyota pads
OME Heavy Coils/ Steering Stabilizer with Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks and Adjustable Rear Panhard Rod
Metal Tech 1.5” Spacer Plates FR
Tom Wood Double Cardan Driveshaft
Metal Tech Sliders
5 x 285 Toyo Open Country MT with 90% Tread
2.2kw Denso HD Starter Replacement
Blue Fan Clutch
PFran LED Interior Lights/ Reverse Lights
Speski Rear Cargo Barrier
Specter Canvas Seat Covers FR with Armrest cover
New DS Lower Seat Foam
Weather Tech Floor mats
Land Rover Cup Holder
Wits End Center Console Lock Box
Yakima Load Bars
OPTIONAL: ARB Simpson III RTT (Used 5 times total) $1000 added to total price
Maintenance:
Head Gasket Replaced @ 215K miles by ACC
- All hoses were replaced at this time as well as the addition of a new radiator
- New intake plenum, PHH, High pressure PS hose
- New Oil Pan Arch Seal
- FYI the head gasket blew originally @ about 178K miles while I was deployed and long story short was repaired by a shop that suffice it to say may have been in over their head.
Front Axle Rebuild @ 215K miles by ACC
- L inner axle seal I fear is letting loose as it's starting to weep a little since the truck is not being daily driven now
All fluids have been changed at recommended intervals using Mobil 1 Synthetic oil and Lucas gear oil
The BAD:
- Paint is in generally good condition, hood was beginning to fade so I Plastidipped the center portion. Some people hate this but it is what it is. Some minor scratches but NO RUST
- Antenna mast like on many 80 Series doesn't work. I never got around to replacing the motor and eventually the antenna snapped off in the woods
- Rear Locker is inoperable currently. I was an idiot when I first got the truck and cut the exhaust off behind the muffler. It burned through the wiring and I had it rewired by ACC, but I think since it went so long without being used it's merely stuck
Having owned the vehicle for 10 years I may be forgetting small details. All questions will be answered and any pic requests honored.
