tidy cool looking truck but being v6 he might be struggling ay, as you would know, considering you can get a 1kz model for that price, good luck to him though.

It really depends if the buyer wants a Diesel or not. I personally would rather have the stock V6 over the 1kz for performance on and off the road.

As for running costs, its that same old debate, petrol at the pump versus a diesel with road tax, extra servicing costs and more frequent service intervals.

There's no Surfs, Petrol or Diesel for that money, kitted out with a ARB bar, snorkel, winch, lift, muddies and hooks with a known service history like this one

[J_Dub]

true that.

[DieselBoy]

I am interested in what you guys reckon it is worth though, it's hard to know.

We picked the price due to the fact it's set up ready to go, in good mechanical condition and from a known back ground.

But as you know, something's only worth what others are willing to pay!!!

i would have thought the price is about right, looks a good set up truck for touring with the family

I'd say price is ok considering the Km's VS the set up and with a quick bodylift decent sized tyres can pop on drove a V6 with manual for years and loved it most of the time. Does it have LSD rear?

1 a those vehicles that would appeal to a lot a people cause of how its setup and looks.

some a those people would turn away once they realise its a v6 auto with highish ks, but then someone who knows enough will realise it has a solid history and you cant beat that..

a lot of people simply wont look at a diesel so if someone wants a petrol tourer ready to go then I guess its perfect

[Wild_South]

Is this still for sale?

[DieselBoy]

Yeah, It almost went last night, but the dude bailed at the last minute due to the dodgy weather down south causing havoc with flights and ferry crossings.

Dave's phone number is 021672210, give him a ring, he's keen as to move it on so he can get his L.R 110 running!!

Yes it is...

I have a complete engine/auto/transfercase for one of these, leaks oil from the PS side rear cam seal. great spare for the new owner should they want one

[BlakeNZ]

i think it's very fair, given all the bits. I'm not keen on the 3 litre v6 motor as a general rule, because of head/gasket issue reputation, but if you were going to buy one, then a well maintained one like this is much less of a risk.
Try buying a stock one in good condition. Then add all those bits to it. Might cost you $10-12k!(all up)

[DieselBoy]

Just added a few more pics of the interior, underneath, the road tyres and the spares that are going with it.
