Dakar rally alloy wheels with Cooper Discover AT3 tyres (245/70R16) - plenty of tread on all 4. Still have original road wheels and tyres if you want them thrown in.
Front runner Wind Cheater expedition roof rack.
Chassis painted by hand with Buzzweld (zinc primer, then rust encapsulator then ‘Black It’). Topped up with lanoguard.
When purchased, in 2013 I blocked the chassis holes and poured new engine oil inside the chassis. Drove it around for a while then drained. Seems to have paid dividends as the chassis is solid.
No warning lights.
No sunroof
No air suspension - replaced with heavy duty springs.
No ACE
No aircon
Was a 7 seater but removed for boot space.
Windscreen was leaking - now fixed.
No leaks I can see.
Lots of other fixes over the years I can’t remember.
Bad bits
Truck has no service history as I stupidly sent the book away for its warranty renewal and was ‘magically lost in the post’. But, I’ve since serviced it myself regularly (easily within 6k miles intervals)
Paint isn’t mint - but there’s limited rust. Still good for its age.
I sanded the roof paint off (to the metal) last year to remove rust/bobbling and re-pained it by hand.
Some small dinks and marks to be expected with age. More prominent scar on its cheek - passenger side door.
Inside is basic. No leather seats or anything fancy. Missing a rear headrest (should be easy enough to source). Slight rip on drivers side chair.
Central locking is temperamental. Sometimes works perfectly, other times not at all. At the moment it works but need to open the drivers door by putting the key in the lock. Never bothered me but should be an easy enough fix.
Summary
A 20 year old, low milage example, with a solid chassis and the potential for another 20 years use in the right hands. Forces sale, it sits around most of the time which is a shame for such a truck. I know I’ll regret selling it but need the space and can’t justify two lots of insurance.
In no rush so won’t entertain silly offers.
