Now for the bad, here are the things that either do not function or do not function properly:

• Glow Plugs: In 1989 the glow plugs were supposed to be automatic but for whatever reason I can't seem to get these to work, I believe it's due to the sensor on the side of the block. There is a manual glow plug switch like you'd see on a loader or bobcat which works flawlessly. Hold for ten seconds& the truck starts right up every time. Sometimes they kick on like they should but lately I've been manually controlling them.
• Parking Brake: The parking brake shoes & springs are new & connected to the wheels, however, the pedal is not hooked up to the cables.
• Rear A/C: The rear air conditioning fan works but does not seem to get as cold as the front.
• Windshield Wipers: One of only two things that completely doesn't work on this truck, the windshield wipers, haven't looked into why, but, I have the windshield treated with Rain-X so its not much of a problem to look past the rain or snow even when it's heavy.

This is a great truck, mosteverything works except for the items I mentioned above. It always starts, rides great, truly great,80 is about max speed for this truck but at 75 which is what I usually do on the interstate, you can barely tell you're moving. The engine is loud because it's diesel, so it's not a silent ride but it's as quiet as it was in 1989.It also has a stereo system by Pioneer which sounds amazing, it includes Bluetooth.I don't take it off-road for fun anymore, but from past experience I know, this truck is great off road even in 2WD, those styletires are great off road, yet not to aggressive for normal driving. It's a daily driver for sure & I know the buyer is going to enjoy a great truck. I'm selling because I just bought a Starfire & that puts me up to four cars which is way too much insurance to pay for so I'm doing this trucka favor by selling it rather than letting it rot back into the ground. I've had more fun & more memories in this truck than I could ever begin to count, so to whoever gets it, please take care. If you have any other questions I'll be happy to answer.

Also comes with third row seat. Had a few messages about rust, there's very little rust left on the truck, there were a couple spots on the drivers side which have been cut out, on the passenger side there are small spots behind the rear wheel, & in front of the rear wheel. From the back doors forward however, the underside of the body is all good. The underside of the truck is also clear. I'll post pictures of the underside later today 01/23/16.

Sorry for the delay on pictures of the underside, I took some last night but the 24 Picture limit & not being able to delete old pictures Is forcing me to take more consolidated pictures. Should be on later today.

Finally got the pictures of the underside that people have been asking for, the moisture on the gas tank shield is just water. I sprayed everything down for better quality pictures. As always if there are any questions you have just send me a message & I'll be happy to answer. Thanks for looking.

The last picture I posted is from today, wanted to show that it's parked inside. Plus it's just a great picture of the truck.

There is supposed to be a "Buy It Now" option for this truck but for some reason it is no longer appearing on the page. On this page that I edit from I can see the buy it now price is still there. I don't know what the problem is but I will be calling eBay before the auction ends to hopefully resolve the issue. It's also been pointed out that the title check is showing an odometer issue, the title is clear. When I bought the truck in 2011, it had 35" tires on it, I believe that is the cause for the issue as those size tires greatly changed the way the speedometer read. But again, no worries, the title is clear.
