Default 1996 DISCO I For Sale, Best Offer

Hi everyone, I am selling my 1996 Discovery I with 159XXX miles on it for $2,500 OBO. I was super excited that this truck was listed for sale right before winter hit here in Indiana, bought it, fixed it up, but now have orders(Army) for Alabama, just sold my house, and have 2 other cars I don't want to sell. So, sadly this truck must leave my stable. I'll list below what I have fixed, what needs fixed, pros/cons, then pictures. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
New flex disc + rear drive shaft CV joint
Oil + Filter change (doing another next week)
Front + rear differential oil change
Transfer case oil change
Brake fluid flush
Coolant flush
New radiator expansion tank
New radiator fill plug
New thermostat
New front wipers

Pros:
Like-new under body condition, only one very small area of minor rust on body.
No evidence of head gasket issues (no stink, no smell, doesn't burn coolant)
Engine sounds good
Center diff moves freely
Sun roof only leaks under extremely wet conditions and if you are not moving

Cons:
Biggest job and one I never intended on doing is the interior dash and center counsel buttons/switches need some TLC. Some work, some don't but I believe it is because of loose wiring behind the dash. For example, if I push really hard on the rear defrost button then it will come on, otherwise it will come in and out without actually activating the heater.
Some clear coat peeling on the hood
Could use new tires
Steering wobble, trying to troubleshoot that now.
No front bumper
The antenna is relocated to the inside? Not sure if that is a pro or con haha.

Would you have time to get some pics of the interior, please?
