As of March 28 2016 This notice supersedes all others. Please read this entire notice before asking any questions.
Custom Overland Expedition Vehicle For Sale in San Jose California. ( 1hr. south of San Francisco. )
Price is $16,000 USD In person sale only. We will not entertain any offers unless they are made in person. ( Low ballers will be ignored. ) AS IS Terms are cash or wire transfer at or to my bank. No checks whatsoever.

This overland vehicle has been driven north of the Brooks Range in Alaska and off road in places like; Leavitt Lake in the Sierra's, Titus canyon & Mahogany Flatts in Death Valley and all the way down thru Mexico, Central America, and South America including;
The Peruvian Andes, The Bolivian South West corner, the Carretera Austral in Chile, and Ruta 40 in Argentina all the way down to Ushuaia. Fording many creeks and rivers and never getting stuck.

2003 Silverado LS 1500 4wd high and low with reliable manual transfer case and auto locking hubs.*4 speed automatic overdrive transmission. 165,500 miles. +/- ( I will continue to drive until sold. )
Runs great, shifts great, no check engine lights. No pings or knocks and has operated at almost 17,000 feet with no problems. 34 gal. Fuel tank. plus 30 gal. Aux. tank. ( See info below. )
This is the smallest V 8 offered in 2003 ( 4.8L Gas / Petrol. ) and has plenty of power. Ave. fuel economy driving has been 15-16mpg. 14 worst on slow dirt gravel roads and 18 best on paved flat roads where the speed limit was 50mph. / 80kmh. 500 mile+ / 800 km+ range is normal on the factory tank.
Most important is that this vehicle is reliable, easy to drive, and maneuver. The cloth seats are comfortable for all day drives on the roughest roads. Three seat belts in front or two seats with a large consul / arm rest in the center.
The truck body and paint are in good shape other than a few dings and light scratches. Pictures posted on this page were taking on March, 28. 2016. Interior pictures have now been loaded up to the Photobucket site below.
( Note: Some pictures on the photo bucket site were taken in the last few years during actual overland trips as well as during the build. ) http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/paul_ho/profile/
