Following the seller’s acquisition, the body was removed from the frame and the seller states that the rear quarter panels and front doors were replaced before it was refinished in Arles Blue with a white roof. Additional work is said to include fitting Masai rear windows and LED lighting along with replacing the windshield and weather seals, and the truck is also equipped with black wheel-arch flares, Alpine windows, a front brush guard, and black-painted steel bumpers.
Five-spoke 16″ SVX wheels were installed along with 265/75 Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain AT tires at each corner, and a matching spare is mounted on the replacement swing-out rear carrier. Additional refurbishment work included fitting stainless-steel suspension hardware and Bilstein shocks as well as replacing the steering rods, bushings, and rear axle A-frame ball joints.
The interior was fitted with replacement seats upholstered in patterned gray cloth, and the steel surfaces were repainted to match the body. The headliner was also replaced, and cabin features include a center console with cup holders as well as all-weather floor mats and four inward-facing jump seats.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 150-km/h speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 168k kilometers (~105k miles), approximately 1k of which have been added under current ownership.
The 2.5-liter 200Tdi turbodiesel inline-four was reportedly serviced under current ownership with a rebuilt fuel pump, fluid changes, and a replacement timing belt, water pump, radiator, alternator, drivetrain mounts, and filters.
Power is sent to all four wheels through an LT77 five-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and a locking center differential. The chassis is said to have been sandblasted before it was repainted black, and the fuel tank and driveshafts were also replaced according to the seller.
