Getting the Wheeling Fever
Have to thin the herd.
Selling one of my Dodge Raiders
V6, manual transmission
197k miles
I bought it last fall down in New Mexico. It's been a no-salt vehicle since the beginning, so there's minimal rust on the frame and body. The interior rugs were way too dirty & dusty, so I cut my own rugs out of utility carpet. Also removed the rear seat and made it a cargo area. The rear bench seat is included in the purchase price, along with all hardware and the rear seatbelts.

Brakes are tight, engine & transmission feel good, body is in good shape except for one fender. No work is needed, you can drive this one home.

I've put about $2k of work into the truck, plus every weekend last fall. Selling for $2k firm to list members. It's listed for $2400 on craigslist.

The good:
Limited Slip rear diff
New oxygen sensor
New timing belt & water pump
New heater hoses
New radiator hoses
New thermostat
New air filter
Fresh oil change
New plugs, cap & rotor
Electric fan conversion
All fluids changed-
  • Front diff
  • Rear diff
  • Transfer case
  • Transmission
  • Brake fluid
  • Clutch fluid
  • Coolant

Bouncy driver's seat
All gauges work
Decent tires (235/75 R15) with 5-7mm tread depth left
Good spare
Interior rugs replaced (d.i.y. job)
Rear seat removed (but available with all hardware)
Wooden wheel well covers
New KYB shocks
All suspension joints greased
All u-joints tight and greased
Gen2 idler arm
New outer tie rod ends
Recent alignment (1 month ago)
Recent emissions test (1 month ago)
New rear brake shoes (front pads were ok)
Clutch in good shape
New fuel filter
New PCV valve
Engine has received the seafoam treatment
No oil leaks to speak of - maybe a drip here & there.

The bad:
Cracked windshield
Dented driver's side front fender
Part of decal is peeling on driver's side
Synchros are worn between 1st and 2nd gear - still shifts ok, but a little clunky
Lower control arm bushings are worn
I have pump, reservoir, & nozzles for headlight washers - but need a new T valve
