<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica"><B>ADDITIONAL INFO</B>: It has 124,000+ daily
driven miles. It does get used off road! All work excluding exhaust and
sunroof installations were done by the owner. The truck’s nickname is "Redline"
for obvious reasons such as the truck’s color and the owner’s driving habits.
It’s also sometimes referred to as the "Exploder" for no particular reason.
The license plate frame reads "If it has to say 4X4 on the side, it can’t
be much of one!". As a final note, it is always for sale for the right
price, although I doubt anyone will ever get to it!</FONT></TD>
