Adventurer
SOLD!
It's time for me to move on to something a bit "softer" for my growing family and aging body. Don't worry, it will most likely be a 100 series, but might be a GX470 or even something less manly.
It is in very good condition, but certainly not perfect. I will try to be as honest as I can and hopefully the pictures will tell most of the story. I've had the car since 2009 and 120K and have records for that period. I am the second owner.
Here are the highlights of the mods and typical maintenance questions:
- OME std height springs were done at 167K. It currently has newer Bilsteins in front and newer Tokicos in the rear.
- It has the OEM lockers and the center diff switch was added.
- 285/75/16 Goodyear Silent Armors were put on at 144K. They have about 50% left. 285 Spare tire (Bridgestone) with 0 miles.
- Knuckles were done at 160K.
- I just installed DBA front rotors and 100 series pads a couple weeks ago.
- Blackstone Labs tested the oil at 160K and it got a clean bill of health. Has had Mobil1 since I've owned it.
- PHH, Starter Contacts and heater hoses were done at 133K.
- It has Depo H4 headlights with the Slee wiring harness.
- Cargo Drawers (homemade). I have the third row seats as well.
- JVC head unit with Pioneer speakers.
- The rear heater lines and PS cooler were replaced with OEM.
- New cats and OEM Muffler and OEM O2 sensors at 133K.
- Variety of other mods (LED domes, cupholders, group 31 battery, Damplifier, etc)
- Everything works.
Known issues:
It has an occasional PO420 code - about once a month. I clear it with the included scangauge and drive on. It has done this even right after the cats and O2 sensors were replaced. It passes emissions fine and I assume this is simply from higher ethanol in the gas.
The paint is in really good shape, but certainly not perfect. There is a small dent in the rear qtr panel where a branch fell on it. (See the pics below).
While the paint and body are in really good shape, there is some rust on the underside. Again, see the pics. Structurally no issues, and I have replaced many of the things that would come up (exhaust, shocks, heater hoses, PS cooler). The only really bad spot is the rear bumper/pintle hook area. Certainly nothing like a Northeast truck, but not like a Southwest truck either.
The spare slowly loses pressure. I believe this is from the wheel getting pitted and not sealing well at the bead. I'm sure some tire dressing would cure it, but I just periodically re-fill it.
The power windows run a bit slow in the dead of winter.
Here's some more pics:
PM me or post here with questions or picture requests. I may have to put off any transactions for a bit since I haven't even looked at replacement vehicles yet. I'm hoping to sell it here or IH8Mud before dealing with craigslist. I would consider trades (plus cash on my end of course) of stock 2003+ UZJ100s, GX470s, and might consider other newer AWD vehicles.
