Hi folks thanks for all the feedback. Just to be clear, I do not believe, nor did I ever state or imply that the value of my truck ($4000 in my view) is based on $4000 in mechanical repair receipts. I believe the truck is worth $4000, and I believe I can back that up objectively, and the receipts are *part* of the evidence in my favor. For anyone who states, "ok maybe $3500" in my opinion, close enough. Are we really talking about $500? Please. The other theme that has developed here is one that pits stock vehicle values against modified vehicle values. Anyone familiar with the car market will attest that except in RARE cases, stock is more desirable than modified. As a buyer, I am, and take no offence please rock crawlers, not interested in your dual transfer cases and super swampers, and these "upgrades" kill the value by an amount it would require to undo them. So those are the main sources of confusion here in this thread, in my opinion, and I think it's best to stay on track: please let me know of any ads that you are aware of, or sales that you are aware of that would be comparable. Clean, stock 1st gen vehicles are hard to find, and objectivity demands data. If you would like to debate the value of my truck, that is a different story, and the mod/stock argument is nothing new to Internet forums. I've said my piece on both fronts, and will not discuss it futher.

Thanks,
Doug
