Over the last six years, Harvey brought it back for many upgrades, maintenance, and repairs, including:
• Fresh 2.5 liter engine in July, 2012 @ 190,487 miles
• Body mounted swing away carrier and full size spare
• Skid plate in front
• Front 2" receiver hitch

- Custom jumper cables to connect into that plug
• Warn portable 6000 lb. winch, fits front and rear, connects into above plug

All told, including the original purchase, he spent over $90K. Harvey had a blast with this Syncro Westy, and put about 38,000 miles on it. Sadly, for personal reasons, he had to part with it. This time around to prepare it for resale, we are doing the following:
• Super duper thorough detail inside and out—will look brand new again
• Super duper major service—all maintenance back to zero miles
• New front axles, rear axles serviced, new boots
• FOX shocks all around
• Full page of reliability items with GoWesty GW-EFI system
So, she will be all freshened up, better than before, and total price is about $25K less than the same vehicle would cost to build from scratch!
