Good old OVERLANDER Trooper. Retired couple were using it to do the seasonal trip from Alaska to central Mexico, but they're too old for that trip now, and in September they drove it 1000 miles north again for the last time. I'd like to see any of the other old rubbish listed on EBAY do that trip. They dropped it here with me in LA, which is where I found the truck about 5 years ago, so it is fully dry and rust free, as it was a Los Angeles vehicle to start with. Nice and clean underneath, No rust. Good solid old V6 Trooper, done a lot of miles, 350 on the clock more or less, but it's had at least 2 motors in that time and the truck drives fine. About 2 years ago, they stopped for a jiffy lube oil change in Oregon. I know, not the best move, as you actually have to know how to tighten up an oil drain plug - which they didn't, leading to a sudden dumping of the entire contents of the crankcase all over 1/2 a mile of interstate. Nice. And you thought Oregon was a 'green' State? Anyway, the halfwits that caused this had to pay up, so I shipped a very nice rebuilt motor up there for them and it's been great ever since. Probably only 4000 on this new engine.. Brakes are fine, trans fine, clutch fine. I see it has a seep from one of the rad seams, so I'll fix that this week. Some of the gauges don't work, but there are warning lights. Tires fine, not new but fine. Scruffy inside, surprisingly presentable outside. White paint is quite good for the age. couple of dings and scrapes. AC doesn't work, lights, heater, wipers do. This truck has ALASKA title, reg, and plates. I've been asked to find it a home. It's good for going cross country, or parts, or whatever you want . Starts right up, battery good, DRIVE IT AWAY ANYWHERE. This truck has had many adventures and it's not done yet! Just to be clear, the recent history of the truck is that at the start of the year it drove down from Alaska to Mexico, was used lightly all year, and just did the trip north to LA. It has a clean Alaska title which has been signed off.It has an Alaska reg. document that says 'permanent' in the expiry date section. this was issued in July 2014 and says 'permanent', so it is current. Permanent tags are given out in Alaska for older vehicles. This was originally a CA vehicle before it was taken to Alaska. As such, it has all the emissions equipment fitted. I can't see any deletions of smog equipment. Cat converter is there as well. The car was driven onto my property this week and I've been asked to find a home for it.

“OK, Up for sale is a good old Trooper that I've known for at least 4 years. It's been a good solid OVERLANDER that's been up to Alaska and down to central Mexico in that time. Two years ago, some clown at a jiffy lube in Oregon left the drain plug loose and that engine was toasted. I shipped a very nice replacement rebuilt motor up to Oregon where it was fitted, so this motor is GOOD. It's probably got no more that 4000 miles on this engine. Clutch is good, tires OK, a few chips and dings, but looks nice I think. Paint not at all bad. This is a good old truck that's just driven 1000 miles up from Mexico. I'm selling it for my friend who now is too old to do the seasonal drive from Alaska to Mexico, and will be flying or taking the Bus from now on. He's just too old for it he says. So it's here in LA, back where I found it in the first place. It's got Alaska plates and paperwork on it now. Needs a good home, still plenty of cross country miles left in this baby!” |
