Nice Clean Rover, Runs & Drives Great!! THIS IS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES!!!

Known 'issues' - One sticky rear window regulator (passenger side rear window). Check engine light on (code 1317 anti lock/ wheels speed sensor) due to the Salisbury (D60) Rear end. This is NOT due to a problem with the vehicle. The rear axle is not the stock axle, and therefore does not have the stock wheel speed sensors. The CE light is on for this reason and this reason alone. I have a code reader and can verify that this is the only code given.

This is a great Rover! Took it on a 1,000 mile drive just 2 weeks ago, no problems at all!!

Asking $6900 obo. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any other photos.

The Rover is currently located in Denver, but would be willing to deliver to the right buyer. I wouldn't mind one last trip in this truck! :)

That also speaks to my faith in this rover's reliability- wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow!

How long have you owned this rig?
Did you do the mods or was it already set-up when you got it?
What kind of MPG for hwy / city / trail ?

Would you deliver to Tucson for full price?

Thanks

Mods were done by Previous Owner. I have only owned the rig for a few months and wish I was keeping it. I have taken it on some fun trips and its an AWESOME truck. I have a Tacoma build in progress and need the funds to finish it, the Tacoma simply suits my needs better. The Rover was something I had to own once just to say I did :safari-rig:

Gets about 16 highway, probably 11-12 city. Trail is hard to say, full day on trails I usually use about 1/2 tank. Really not as bad as you would expect for a truck with big tires and a rack. Still has a good range with the 24 gallon tank.

I would consider delivering to Tucson for $7k. Need a little something to buy my flight back. Gas is on me :)
