OK, my wife reminded me that I need to do something with the beast, so here I am again. I really would like to get this out of my garage before bad weather sits in.
This rig is really outside of my comfort zone and what my current off road plans are. I have twins that are turning 16 in six months and they are interested in getting into the hobby and so I really need to spend my time and money on getting them something going.
I am dropping the asking price down to $10,000 which is killing me but it is what it is!
I am also open to possible trades or partial trades for other land cruisers etc...
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.......
I bought this rig about a year ago. At the time my off road interests were in a different place. But now my interests, as well as my life situation have changed and this just isn’t practical for me. So it is time to say goodbye.
I know this isn’t for everyone, but for the right person this could be an incredible rig. I obviously did not do the work on this truck, but I know the guy who did and it was done very well. This is a good solid rig with a ton of potential.
Buyer of course will be responsible for pick-up or shipping of the vehicle.
I am asking $12,000. Way less than time and money spent on it, but we all know that is the way it goes. I may also be open for appropriate trades but would like to sell it outright if possible.
I have never taken this to the trails. Shame on me. Runs great with plenty of power. Built with Four Wheelers Top Truck Challenge in mind, or take it to Moab and be an instant magazine feature.
Here is what I know about it. Please let me know if you have specific questions or would like different/more pictures and I will do what I can to accommodate your requests.

I hope that helps. I am sure there is more so feel free to put on there anything your guys find etc…
These are the only things that I know to be an issue with it.
The transmission oil pan leaks. The previous owner told me that the guys who put it on for him did not put a seal on it. Easy fix.
The TC is hard to shift, although I am told that this is common with NP 203/205’s especially when new. I was told that this was probably because the TC was clocked to make a flat pan belly. I purchased a new Dual Stick cable shifter from Northwest Fab. The cable shifter works much better on the clocked TC’s. The new shifter comes with it but is not installed.
There is a slow leak in the air system somewhere. I believe it is just in some of the valve connections as some of them are loose. Easy fix.
The front windshield has a small crack in it and the passenger side window is broken.
For some reason the vivair compressor has started to run rough and not working well. I need to tear into it but haven't yet. Just so you are aware.
I do not have a title for it as the previous owner did not have one. However I went through all the hoops with the DMV and did get it registered as an off road vehicle and they gave it a new VIN. Officially with the state of Utah it is a non-titled Off highway vehicle. I have all that paperwork.
