GarageScout Take

The retained original TD5, galvanized chassis, and documented service history give this restoration a clear mechanical baseline, while its uncommon metallic-black finish and off-road hardware set its configuration apart. Displayed mileage sits near the low end for this generation, but the replacement odometer and speedometer are set against approximately 197,000 km on the original chassis; the respray and extensive exterior modifications are also part of the restoration.

Strengths

  • Galvanized chassis and original TD5 engine retained through the restoration.
  • Substantial off-road equipment includes the Terrafirma suspension, raised snorkel, recovery points, underbody protection, and exterior roll cage.
  • Restoration work covered the chassis, suspension bushings, engine sealing, damper, belt, seats, seatbelts, and carpeting.

Watch For

  • The odometer and speedometer were replaced; the replacement speedometer displays approximately 197 miles
  • The body was resprayed in metallic black during the restoration.
  • The truck has extensive modifications, including widened fender flares, checker-plate trim, tubular side steps, an OBX grille, LED lighting
