The outside antenna was removed and placed (lying down) on the top of the dashboard. The vehicle is equipped with A/C, which appears to be in working order. The vehicle is also equipped with 4WD and a tow package on the rear. The vehicle has a tilt steering wheel and a roof rack. The seats are in fair condition, however need to be cleaned. There is a small tear and hole in the driver's seat and a small hole in the front passenger seat.

Notable minor damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/things that don't work or need to be replaced/repaired: The vehicle will only start in the neutral position; we believe the vehicle will need a neutral safety switch (a minor repair).

There is more significant rust on the D/S and P/S running boards, belows both front doors. The rear bumper shows numerous scratches and some rust spots.

The vehicle will, however, need a new battery and a tune up. The vehicle starts right up upon jumping it and with no known major problems.
