Drivetrain is in good shape for a wheeler but would probably need some attention here and there if you plan to make it a daily driver. Motor is a 4.6 stroker (4.2 crank and rods, .030 over pistons) and was done at about 47k miles and runs like a champ. Transmission is a Dodge NV4500HD with Advance Adapters bellhousing and clutchy stuff. Transfer case is a D300 with JB Conversions 4:1 and HD rear output. Cable operated twin sticks (can’t remember brand) that come out in roughly the same location as the stock t-case shifter. Front axle is a D44HD full width 8 lug front from a 70s F250 with 4.88 gears, Detroit locker, cromoly shafts, Yukon Super Joints. Rear axle is a Ford 8.8 31 spline with lunchbox locker and 4.88 gears, 5x4.5 to 8x6.5 spacer/adapters, and spare shafts. Suspension is Teraflex long arms with custom rear uppers, 2.5 Old Man Emu springs, JK shocks, 2”bodylift, 2” motor mount lift, flat skid. Also has a PSC big bore steering box tapped for hydro assist. Front axle is setup for hydro assist and I have the cylinder and lines it is just not installed. Engine also has a Novak Heavy duty V8 spec aluminum radiator with a Ford Taurus fan, so you can wheel with the AC on in 100 degree temps and it still stays cool.
Interior is in good shape, with a reasonable amount of wear and tear and stains as you’d expect for the age and usage. Full doors were swapped on in about 2003 and have tan panels instead of agate, which never bothered me but is worth noting. Carpet, floor mats, and seats are all original and in pretty good shape, and have Husky liners in the floors. Radio was swapped to a Kenwood about 20 years ago, and the speakers are Infinity Kappas, but that’s all 20+ years old so you may want to update. Top has a small tear in the center above the console, but otherwise is in good shape. The drivers door surround is broke at the pivot pin, but works fine, just doesn’t stay together if you take it off (you’d never know unless you took the top off, but I don’t like surprises). The connector cable is broke for the fold and tumble passenger seat, but I have a replacement, just never installed it. HVAC works like it should, and it still has the original AC charge!!!
I have a bunch of extra parts too. Spare shafts for the 8.8 and D44, drive slugs to replace the hubs if you ever wanted, lots of original parts like headlights and front bumper. Also have some higher flow fuel injectors and a stainless high flow header that can be included for a little extra if you wanted to milk a little more power out of the engine. I’m sure there’s some other stuff I’m forgetting, but that covers most of it.
I’d prefer to sell it to someone on here in case I ever regret it and want to buy it back. I’ve owned since August of 2000, bought it when it was 6 months old and had 6k miles.
$13k firm.
