Man, I can't believe I am going to do this. I absolutely love this thing, I planned on keeping it forever. I literally ran out of money last night, I spent every last dime I had on my school.

I got this thing about 3-4 months ago. I can't remember all the details of it, but I'll do what I can.

Body has 198k miles on it. I think the engine has about 60k miles on rebuild and the trans and tcase is about 40k. I am not positive, I know they are all rebuilt but I'm not positive on the miles. The thing runs damn strong, fantastic running truck.

It has a 3" body lift and a 2.5" Superlift suspension lift. Along with this it has a dual steering stabilizer in the front and has zero death wobble.

Bumpers are custom made, front has a winch pocket but no winch. lights in the bumper are functional. Has the holes for d-rings too. Rear bumper has a swingout tire carrier.

The body is straight, no rust except for one tiny little spot that is about the size of a pen diameter. It is one of the straightest I've seen.

Paint is decent, looks good except for the roof and hood have clearcoat peeling off. I was going to fix it this summer but hadn't done it yet. Interior is in awesome shape, one of the nicest I've seen in these trucks. The dash is not cracked either.

I've replaced a bunch of parts, put new taillights and turn signals in, painted the grille, new passenger window motor, rewired the tailgate window motor, fixed the floppy vent windows, etc.

The wheels are 17x9 ProComp rockcrawlers and it has some 315/70/17 BFG All-Terrains that are almost worn out. The spare tire is almost brand new and I have a two very good 315 BFGs on some H2 wheels.

The big issues: Tailgate panel is missing. New one is $60 from LMC. I was going to buy one, but as mentioned before I am out of money. I have a Suburban one that I'll give with the truck, doesn't fit but at least it protects the window area when the tailgate is down. The main issue is that the rear 10-bolt is screwed up. It has a gov-lock and it keeps locking up and it locked and turned off the driveshaft. The axle did not blow up. If I can find a cheap or free open carrier I will swap that in and the truck will be driveable with no issues. I have a new driveshaft that will go with it too.

Also along with the truck I will throw in a matched set of 8-lug axles. Rear is a 14bsf that the perches are shaved off and I have new ones for it. The front is a 10-bolt with Mile Marker hubs. Both are complete and the rear has new axle seals too. Front is good shape and looks like it has relatively new ball joints. Also will throw in a set of H2 wheels and two good BFG All-Terrains and another spare H2 that has some bends in the lip. Also will throw in a hilift jack.

I am surely forgetting some stuff. This truck is awesome and I love every minute of it, but this is my only option since I am out of money.

My cell is 919-906-4688 and you can also PM me on here. I am in Raleigh but the truck is at my work in Morrisville where the axle broke.

I am asking $4500 and that is pretty firm.

$3900 as it sits, $4500 with everything.

If it doesn't sell by this weekend I am going to throw an open carrier in the rear to get it driveable and sell the axles and wheels separately.
