Someone will buy it since it IS about the most capable 4x4 ever made. It'll take some time due to its natural ugliness but the price is good! Most of these that I saw in Sweden were in amazing shape. If this is even close in condition to those, it's worth more in my opinion.

Do these flop over like Pinzgauers or do they have more suspension travel?

Way more stable than just about any 4x4 I've driven and flex almost like a Land Rover's. I took a leaf out of the rear on my old one since I wasn't going to load 1000lbs in the back which helped a little.

It is in good shape, carbs rebuilt etc. and I think they are under priced too.

TechMOGogy they do not flop over...

And the tank killers being far less top heavy would be even more stable

I saw this one when it was in the shop at Voltech in Portland. I didn't get under the hood, but it looked like it was in great shape otherwise.

It had spent most of its time dry and in Texas.

I just talked to Tony in Portland who is selling the vehicle. Nice guy. It is still available. Overall it sounds like it's in pretty decent shape. If I could convince my wife we really needed two tgb's I'd be on a plane to the West Coast in a heart beat. Somebody please buy it before my resolve to be responsible weakens.
Thanks
