12,500 is the lowest id go. I'd do 11500 without the wheels
Truck is extremely reliable. Has made multiple trips to the bay area, and made a trip to Portland and back with out any problems.

Honestly a truly great truck. I've dumped 10s of thousands into it to get it to this point. No smog required. It has the axles to be 4x4 but would need a transfer case and front driveshaft. Put to much in to beat it up on the trails and never had problems in the dirt so couldn't justify the rest of the swap. Just had to fix the kingpin problems that plague these trucks. This is a true driver's truck. There are no assist anywhere. Everything is manual and analog. This is a very rare truck. Most sweptline Era trucks are the later 2 headlight model not the 4 like this one
