Yeah...That was my point. It's not there anymore. I have it but it's too long for Youtube.

Look at it this way. They strip a Syncro down to the shell, repair or replace everything including engine & trans. It's a new vehicle for all intents and purposes for roughly $60k and you have a four wheel drive camper that will go ANYWHERE you want to go and is economical enough to be your daily driver.


This gas guzzling mailbox is $70000

This one is $78000 and weighs 14,500 lbs!
