As you may have read, I've ordered a new Hi-Lux, which means that my 3.0 Prado will be sold.
Its a 1996 jap market Prado, 3.0 kzte. Its an auto, in metallic green and a 7 seater.
It has an intercooler, and the rear diff has a limited slip differential.
Mileage is approx 125,000m (altho its in km) and its as smooth as it was when new - its had an oil and filter change every 6 months which makes a big difference.
Timing belt was replaced in September 2014.
Condition - really good for a 1996 truck! Bodywork and underside are very good, no rust. Interior is cloth and cleans up very well. Rear end carpet has been taken out and replaced by a rubber load liner.
I use it daily, and I've done two trips to Portugal in it, behaved impeccably on both.
I have driven it on lots of unsurfaced tracks, but only once mudplugging, at Lincomb about 3 years ago, none since.
The reason I bought it was its modifications, it has an Ironman lift (about 2"), a 40mm body lift, and runs on 255/85r16 BFG KM2's (so 33"), this means the cills are about 600mm off the ground, and it has a raised air intake (snorkel).
The tyres are about 5 years old, covered maybe 30,000 miles but in good order with good tread, spare is brand new.
I've added a roofbar which has 4 led lamps and a cb aerial bracket which is available for a small amount extra.
I have a small spares kit prepared for overlanding, a new water pump, cv joint, wheel bearings, which will be included.
This is one of my favourite vehicles, and seeing it go will be really hard, and whoever buys it will be getting a really solid truck, there are no hidden problems and I'm not selling 'cos of any issues etc, frankly if I could justify keeping it to the wife I wouldnt be selling it.
Price - looking for a minimum of £3,000. Roofbar with leds and cb available if buyer wants them (overall cost me £300.00) for a small amount extra, but no problem if not wanted as I can transfer them to HiLux.
Pictures to follow shortly
Cheers
