11. Original 4x4 4-wheel drive (Hi and Lo) installed by Getaway Conversion in 1985 professionally.

Outstanding Issues
1. Rust removal and touch-up paint on fold out platform.
2. Engine rings most likely need to be replaced as the engine burns oil. (DOES NOT SMOKE. I simply have just added around a quart of oil per 1000 miles since i started noticing the issue 10+ years ago).
3. The engine hesitates on occasion when climbing steep hills and also after coming off the highway on hot day (95+ degrees outside). The fuel line may need to be replaced.
