Truck is running, and active,. Battery (Optima Yellow Top) is on tender and only a few years old, but limited use, guessing it shot. Steering box and trans leak from sitting in garage the last few years. T case, brakes, axles aren't leaking. Engine runs good, all angles. Truck has been rolled etc. Glass is good, doors and new hood included. Firewall is bent from roll, passenger door doesn't open/close well

Will sell truck separate of trailer. Not interested in selling trailer until truck is sold. Email aj@trailseeker.com for pictures/info.

This truck has been wheeled hard. Frame seems to be straight and drivetrain is sound. Truck was Ultimate Adventure in 2004 and 2005 on 37"s. It's been wheeled hard but maintained. Body looks like it!!! If you want to drive it on the street it needs a front sway bar, and decent tires. Bias Iroks are not good street tires. I have driven it a lot on street with no issues in CO and UT. Minnesota questioned the lack of mudflaps. Some of the welds on the bracing on the cage was done by me (ugly) but most is very professional. Suspension is stock mounting points. Have sheared 5/8" grade 8 control arm bolts by hitting the diff with no bracket, mount or arm failure.

I have driven this truck on the Rubicon, Fordyce, Hells Revenge, Pritchett, Lower Proving Grounds, Holy Cross, Patriot/Liberty, Blanca, Die Trying, Topless, Billings Canyon, 21 Road, Golden Spike, Rusty Nail, Coyote Canyon, Lower Helldorado, Area BFE, Green Day, Carnage Canyon, Carnage Gulch, etc. It's a solid platform, and comfortable. I rolled it on Behind the Rocks on a very optional line. I have not taken it through Upper Heldorado, Britney Spears. With some decent sticky tires, I think it would be solid on any obstacle. 119" wheelbase gives you a lot of options.

Looking for $9,900 for the truck or $13k for all. Will consider serious offers. Will sell truck separate from trailer. Located in Castle Rock, Colorado (near Denver.) Open to delivering or meeting part way

I remember watching this transform from stock to this back in my pavementsucks.com days. I always wished I had the balls to do that to mine.

You getting out of wheeling or what? Dont tell me your already gonna start turning the PW into one!

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks! Love it, just don't have trailer storage within a reasonable distance and the neighborhood has cracked down. It's just so much time to commit to a trail to retrieve and return the trailer (currently storing at a friend's in Wyoming) plus we like to camp and I can't tow our little rv trailer and the Dodge.

PW on 35"s with WK sliders is pretty awesome for mild wheeling. Probably just add a dirtbike for the wife and we will use those for harder trails and the PW for milder.
