I bought this from a friend back in February. Thought I might use it as a backup vehicle and maybe do some off-roading. The best laid plans of mice and men...

So, I'm selling. I might have put 800 miles on it since I got it.

• 2.5" - 3" inch lift. Parts look to be Rough Country
• 33/12.5-15 Centennial Dirt Commanders - ~50% tread left
• Front/rear diff appear to be factory. 3.73 gears with Dana 30 in the front and Dana 44 in the back.

The Good:

• No rust in the usual places. Frame is in good shape and the floor pans are solid. Glad to provide pics if needed.
• There's been a lot of maintenance don't recently. See the list below.
• I replaced the steering gear box with one from Red-Head Steering Gears. I believe the warrantee carries over to the new owner.
• Paint is in good/fair condition. Not faded anywhere but some minor scratches here and there.
• PO installed a CarPlay head unit and Kicker speakers in the roll bar. Loud enough to overpower the road noise.
• I had to replace the freeze plugs. While I was in there, I did new injectors and exhaust manifold in case it was cracked. It wasn't. Still have the original.
• Spare set of factory rims with brand new 235/75-15 street tires.
• New clutch and flywheel ~3k miles ago.
• Tune up ~2k miles ago.
• A/C works

The Bad:

• The blacking on the mirrors is faded/chipped but no damage otherwise.
• One of the POs installed LED signal and tail lights but didn't get them working just right. The fast flash when using them. (Turn signal relay, maybe?)
• The dashboard gauges stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had time to fix it but can do so before selling if needed.
• The windshield is cracked. I don't think it'll pass inspection as the crack interferes with the wipers. Glad to replace it before selling if requested.
