Take a close look at the pictures... The headlights are crooked, the front drivers door is out of alignment, rear corner trim is missing with nothing covering the holes, The hood is low on the drivers side front, and for that money I would want non saggy cargo nets on the rear passenger roof line... As a bonus it looks to have a CDL which is odd for an 03. But then it has cheap Toyo tires. Looks like you are paying 8k for the truck and 5.5k for the bedliner on pipe roof rack and several cases of armorall. Oh yeah and did you notice their cut and paste description calls it both silver and then later white... hmm... With all this lipstick and still a major lack of attention to details I would suspect the mechanical parts would be similar.

I would buy the one from BEST4X4. At least its been serviced well from a reputable user here in the forum. Im working out some small mechanical issues before starting on my cosmetics. Ive spent a bunch of money, but I like these vehicles, so Im dedicated. lol.

That is probably why they listed it as a custom roof rack

They probably have liability if they called that conduit shell a cage

Yeah it's sad, but I have actually worked on several LR's sold from that dealer. They are decent looking from a distance, then up close you're like WOW really???? Coin Trays broken, mismatched interior bits, missing center caps, and much more. They basically buy em from Auto Auctions send em thru a quick detail inside/out, slap on cheap parts, and sell it to the highest bidder (they're listed on Ebay), FB MP, CL, and a few other places. I've always laughed when people ask $$$$$ prices, but yet they can't replace 15.00 worth of center caps off of Ebay? That is a sign they're just making em look as good as possible for as cheap as possible to keep the profit margin very high.

Yeah, there's a company about an hour north of Charlotte that I am suspicious of doing the same thing. Armor All and some gadgets, and then ask $20K.
