Ive been thinking about tossing around the idea of another project which means this would have to go.
It currently has 85,800 miles as it is a daily driver. It is in great condition with the exception of a few trail pinstripes that could be buffed out.
Ive been keeping track of the trucks maintenance and upgrades since the day I bought it as well as the receipts. There has been a few iterations up until its current state.
