Asking Price
$7000
I'm testing waters because I just don't use this thing much anymore. I may eventually move to a Jeep JL or JT, but with prices how they are, it is not in the cards right now.....so I'm not desperate. Also, I'm looking for feedback on pricing.

$7000 on KSL in the next few days

Specs:
'96 Isuzu Rodeo LS
3.2L V6 (112K miles)

Fox 10" coilovers on all 4 corners (front are res's)
beefy DOM lower links, built to not bend (heims/bushing ends) I don't recall thickness but it is .25 wall or the next size up.

Custom platform to remove back seat if wanted
Rear hatch truck tent specific to the Isuzu Rodeo
Sony bluetooth CD player
Spare parts and ammo cans/cargo drawer area.
many receipts of work done
garage service manuals from factory (torn, but they are there)


the bad:
There are some dents, as to be expected. Paint is pretty faded.
3" body lift means it sits higher then preferred, but it will still fit in a standard 7' tall garage door.
rear passenger window doesn't roll down. I removed the guts and bolted it in place.
It drives on the freeway fine, however there is some body roll. Figuring out how to mount a front swaybar would help...but it is driveable and I daily drove it for 18 months a few years ago.
windshield is cracked.

I've owned this thing for 13 years. I bought it from a friend after Factory Tubular had done the SAS. At the time, they used air shocks and a triangulated front 4 link. This was newish tech at the time it was completed and turned out to be a bad idea. After I bought it I shipped it to Colorado to have Addicted Offroad rework the suspension and link setup. They did the front in a 3 link w/ pan hard and Ford steering box. they redid the links in the rear, but overall, the rear was setup fine in their opinion. I daily drove it when I got it back for 18 months or so. It hasn't been used as much as I would like in the last 5- years. I don't have many people to go wheel with, and it's now built beyond what I normally do. With a wife and kids, I'm looking for something more of a 'pack n' go' rig, where I can just load up and enjoy the back country and do the occasional hard trail in Moab & Sand Hollow. I love that it is unique and get lots of compliments on it....but with not using it much and not being as family friendly as I would prefer I'm looking at letting it go.

There is an SAS'd Xterra that has popped up on KSL for $7500 over the past few months that hadn't sold.....It was newer, but otherwise not a whole lot different. Originally I wanted to do $7500 or so but that kind of scared me. I know mine has a few more desirable mods....but I also worry the uniqueness makes it a little harder sell. I could hold back the extra 10" coil over's and sell those separately. They will need a rebuild, but that would likely be $400-500 if I left them out of the deal.

the tires are about 5 years old. They are in good shape overall...probably have 50-60% tread left. 1 tire does have a slash in the sidewall, but so far it seems more cosmetic since it was there when I bought them....and I haven't had any issues with them.

It has come time to actually try and sell this thing. I swapped a plug and coil boot that should get rid of the CE light. It drives and idles smooth now....I just need to cycle it enough to make sure it clears....but so far it is running great.

Updated first post with pricing. I need to figure out how to update the title.
