Condition: Near 100% original per above, no significant rot on chassis, outriggers, footwells, door bottoms, and bulkhead. Surface rust visible as photographed on corners of doors. Mechanically working 100%. That said, this was designed to be one step better than a farm tractor. Do not expect the ride of a Range Rover.

-DETAILS: I drive this truck, never off road but a lot . The truck has not seen winter or salt since 1998, but it has seen rain, dusty and dirty spring roads, and is not a trailer queen for weekend shows only. Sure, you could make it perfect, but look at the photos - from 10 feet away, it is 100%. From 2 feet away, you see years of gentle wear on the original truck with the some bubbling of paint in spots where the steel cappings touch the aluminum panels, over some of the heads of the aluminum rivets, surface rust on under body bolt heads, light scratches and nicks on the paint.

-1997 Odometer Issue: unfortunately, LR switched to digital odometers in 1997 compared to mechanical odometers in 93, 94, and 95. These digital units were prone to the display screen going blank. This 1997 truck had the odometer replaced at approximately 70k miles. The carfax demonstrates that the odometer changed back from 70k. The title is clean, no odometer issue, no "true miles unknown." In doing the math, the total miles is approximately 130k. Without this odometer defect, the truck would sell for $70-80k in this condition.

-Paint: The paint is tired. The clear coat is faded on the hood from sun exposure. No bare spots. You could certainly respray it in the factory Limited Edition color if you wanted to create a show queen, but from a few feet back, it looks wonderful, which was good enough for me.

Nope. Steel. The new frame is galvanized. Doors aren’t too bad, just pointing out everything.
