- I will also include all of my Trail Recovery Box (Snatch Block, Shackles, Tree Savers, First Aid Kit etc)

Safety and E-Test the responsibility of the Buyer as this thing is far from a Toyota Yaris E-Test should be no problem with the newer Mill, but safety check would be best done by a connection

Best offer over $10K. I will not accept any offers under 10K as i'm already giving it away as it is.

There will be no parting out. This rolls in one piece.

man now thats a sweet rig

if only i liked jeeps, and i wasn't dirt poor

[armybuck041]

Its killing me having it just sit quietly in storage, but the last thing I have time for right now, is to go beating it around and possibly change my mind about selling it

Man, I know 10K isn't a small amount of money, but it kills me to think of the dough dropped getting it to this stage.

Thats the crappy thing about building a rig like this. All of the Trial and Error doesn't get factored in in the end. You can only sell it for what it currently is.

Thanks fellas
