Summer of '11. Though I sold it in October and haven't updated my sig.

In reply to m4ff3w:

Man I've missed a few things

Got it inspected over the weekend so it is fully legal.

I've encountered the following issues since I got it on the road:

• OD not working - resolved, temp switch broken.

• 4x4 not engaging - vacuum system for it is ok - need to start electrical troubleshooting

• No tach - singal wire broken at noise filter, bypassed noise filter.

• Won't warm up, went to replace thermostat, found there wasn't one to replace.

All else has been good. I'm really happy.

About 0200 AM Tuesday morning.

I love me some old Japanese Off-road boxes. I want one with a diesel and a snorkel.

so wait, after getting the first running, your immediate response was to tow another one home?

This is the man who attempted to daily drive a BiTurbo.

This is not my surprised face.

It feels wrong to have as many running vehicles as non-running vehicles.

I bought it for $250.

It has new tires, good leather interior, a/c parts, rear fold down 6/7 passenger seats, class III hitch, various trim pieces I need.

I think I'll get $300-$350 for it from the scrap guys.

How dead are the dead bits? I might know some people who might want some bits in your neck of the woods before it gets squashed.

No idea. I was told HG is bad, but dont know about the rest of the drivetrain. 215k miles on it I think.

The only drivetrain pieces I might need are transfer case/front diff, but I probably don't. Still trying to figure out why my 4x4 doesn't work.

Sent you a message about spare bits.

Replied, I'll keep your secret.

It's OK, a lot of people know I'm an idiot. It was lack of scale, I swear.

So I swapped:

• Radio
• center console
• front seats (keeping my "bouncy seat" bases)
• rear seats
• added the way back jump seats (which required swapping all of the plastic in the hatch area)
• rear speakers
• side mirrors
• map lights
• hatch area dome light
• rear wiper squirter bottle/pump
• front wiper squirter nozzels
• brand new new plug wire set and dizzy cap/rotor
• drivers side front door card/window switch assembley
• driver side rear window switch
• got mostly full tool kit and tire change kit
• got a/c compressor and bracket
• new fan (mine had cracks)
• wheels/tires
• door open switches for spares
• class 3 hitch
• u-haul trailer light converter box
• rear bumper

And a scrap guy came by last night and said he'll be back tonight with $350 and a trailer. Great weekend on the truck front!
