I have a truck full or parts.
What's actually wrong with it?

You want it off your drive way because it doesn't fit your needs. Which is a turnkey truck. Understandable. So, what's the issues? Apart from needing some love, has a rusty door, and has a tow rope on the back seat

Telling us the real situation is the best way to proceed, and will get you the most for the vehicle you have, with the least fuss.

Good tip Alex_M. Hopefully I'll have some takers.

What's wrong with it? At the moment there's a racket coming from the back wheel which I imagine is a bearing issue. The lights on the left side of the vehicle decided to stop working. I checked all the fuses and all was good. I know nothing about electrics or wiring so now we can't use it after sundown.

The "stops" need to be replaced on the rear suspension.

This may not sound like a lot but after slowly dumping money in it for five years, I've had enough.

List it for sale on CL for $3kobo, saying just that. You won't get 3k, but you should get offers.

Parting it out will be a massive load of grief and you will hate it even more than you do now, as you struggle to strip the bits off that people want.

It's funny these are easy fixes. The lack if light on the left side is a bad ground in the driver footwell. But hey when you've had enough.

That's why it's a good bet for CL honestly listing the probs.

Someone will see it and think "that's $300 and a day of fiddling".

Default 1999 Disco 2 parts vehicle

Update:

Front axel is now toast. Engine still runs: three amigos still present. Would make a great parts truck.

$1000 o.b.o.
