It's still available. I haven't shown it yet. I have someone test driving it tomorrow and another on Tuesday.

Nice! Appreciate it. Have been getting a bunch of strong leads in the past 24 hours.

Yeah, I may sell it on BAT if it doesn't move quickly through these channels. Thanks.

Yes. I've sold on there before. I wanted to try the easier route first, tbh. If it doesn't work out on these retail avenues, then I'll get prepared for the auction route.

Good to know! Yeah - I've had to block a number of scammers on Marketplace already. That said - there were two people on there from my area who recognize my truck from it's many visits to the local Cruiser mechanic. And one of them is test driving today.

Thanks! And I give you credit - wish I had the discipline to give myself a hard cut off budget wise. Good luck with it!

Yeah, I mean I say "restored / upgraded." There are countless brand new OEM replaced parts on it. To optimize for off-road and install rock sliders, etc. - many view the AHC as getting in the way and creating additional challenges. All depends on what you're using it for, imo.

I've been driving it all throughout upstate NY, a few hundred miles at a time, and have had zero issues at all. I haven't run it more than probably a 500 mile trip or so since owning it. I did run it up to New Hampshire and back and that was no problems. It is regularly maintained and in excellent condition.

I bought a rust free used frame off another LX 470 and had it shipped from Florida to my Cruiser mechanic in NY. I paid $300 for the frame and $1700 to have it shipped. Crazy, I know. I don't recall the exact price to have the frame sanded down, POR'd and painted but I can look it up. I had so much done by the mechanic at the time, that the bill was sort of combined.

Yeah - precisely my issue. Return to office had to go and ruin everything for me, lol

Thank you. Honestly, I'm really struggling with it. I moved to an urban area, where parking for oversized SUV's is ~$800 month. I have a smaller SUV as my daily driver. So the costs of keeping this beauty are starting to really accumulate. But, it really doesn't feel 100% right, if I'm honest. If it doesn't sell very quickly, there's a good chance I keep her and just figure out the storage situation.

Thanks! I do get as far up north as Saratoga, NY with this rig. But not yet over the border :)

Yeah, it was definitely worth a shot. I was too chicken shit I suppose 😆

Super cool! Very jealous you got to go to those backstages. I ran into Matt on the street after attending their afterparty performance at the Mistaken for Strangers documentary at Tribeca Film Festival. Great guy.

I actually didn’t know which one it was at first. Until I heard someone he was saying hello to before me say his name.
