1200lb winch
New brake pads
2 new brake calipers
T-max duel batt system
Extra Aux 12v sockets
New exhurst system
Alot of new engine parts
12v strip light in the boot
The 2 jump seats in the boot have been removed
A home made roller draw in the boot
I have a new three peace clutch (cost £200) but i haven't fitted it as i was going to do this just before we went as a precaution.not becauce it needs one.
New injectors
New glow plugs
New spil rail
i have some new fuel and oil filters
New belts and some over spares
It has central and rear diff locks so it takes a bit to get stuck in it.
And a lot more

There is a 4x4 track built by VW on the farm so you can test the truck off road if you like.

Bad points:-
Will need 4 new tyres,the ones on it are legal with plenty of tread but are good year wranglers A/T and i found that the side walls on them are not very strong and get cut easly.

Has some rust on the rear wheel arch where the mud gaurd was atached.
it has a dent in the drivers door wher my wife didnot see a trailer in the yard.But nothing major.

The truck starts and runs fine i have driven it down to tuscany three times now and it hasn't missed a beat.

I'm looking for £3000 all in but there is room to move on the price and i'll put an mot on it as it runs out in march it has tax an till 31/08/11.
If your interested let me know as i'll back in the U.K on the 31 of jan.
