This thread shows some history of the vehicle. Please note that some of the pics, especially those earlier in the thread, are taken a while ago. The thread was started in 2008!
Here is a pic of it as of today:
It went through a full roadworthy 18 months ago and has just sat unused since, hence the sale. Despite the roadworthy I believe it will need some work. So it’s not perfect, but it’s a good rig with a lot of sought after parts and useful modifications that make it a solid performer off road and good on road. Well, as good as a Sierra can be on the road
