So why did you worry about all the winches and it's off road awesomeness, if it was just a highway rig? Cause it looks good.

NADA puts the trade-in value at about $7500, depending upon exact condition and options.

How many times have you used this bucket of bolts as an excuse to sell junker guns to keep it running.. or to keep it in gear... or to keep it in tires? I remember motor problems, I remember transmission rebuild, and I remember trading someone for used tires. You still don't understand do you? People know you here..  Dude, It has shiny tires and wheels.......... SHINY!

How about a little truth in advertising? safariman was not an "estate planner". He was an insurance agent. He represented a notoriously bad company (Bankers Life & Casualty, now part of Conseco), and had his license revoked for selling inappropriate products to elderly retirees. http://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/ins/admin_actions/actions_2011/producer_2011/10-02-005.pdfhttp://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/ins/admin_actions/actions_2011/producer_2011/10-02-005-p.pdfhttp://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/ins/admin_actions/actions_2011/producer_actions.html

Thanks for helping to get the predator warnings out, fellas. A good public service.
If someone wants to join just to buy something from safariman, after plenty of warnings, he deserves what he gets for being a dummy.

Best looking/running Avalanche in the state! Maybe in the US! ( maybe a LITTLE Hyperbole....  ) but true in my opinion. Gets lots of looks and compliments. Year model is 2003 but looks, runs and rides like much newer. Slight lift kit (leveling only) in the front to level it and accomodate bigger aggressive tires, 11.5x33x16's. Bright Yellow with black body armour and custom shiny black 16x8 wheels. Almost brand new set of TOYO Mud Terrain tires, 10 ply AND a full set of Hankook mud and snow tires with double studs AND siping come with it! Z-71 package means that in addition to 4WD you get a limited slip differential and skid plates. BOSE surround sound system, 6 disk CD changer, Heated Leather seats with adjustable lumbar pads on both front seats, 12 way electric adjustments, all of the compute gizmos and tracking systems, this truck is a lot like my old (miss this one) Caddilac CTS but with very good off road and bad weather capabilities and safety. ALSO, I had a custom winch added to the rear compartment for help in loading ORV's, motorcycles, other large heavy loads. Was a handy device when I first bought the truck and was doing more outdoor stuff. 204,000 miles on it, but 99% of that was my business use when I was an active Estate planner and travelling over the Blues all the time to places like Enterprise, up into Wenatchee etc at all times. In addition, I had a brand new, zero miles Chevrolet/GM Crate motor installed BY GM MECHANICS three years ago at the 164,000 mile point. Valves and lifters were getting noisy so a new complete motor went in. This Motor only has 40,000 mi on it. Transmission, motor and differentials all changed over to Ams Oil full Synthetic oils and lubricants. Perfect maintenence, upkeep etc. Since I bought it in 2009 with 94,000 miles on it. This has been my business work vehicle, my play vehicle and my baby. But I think I need a full size Diesel truck now. $8995/offer, can consider shootin irons as partial trade if that will help you buy this truck. Have clean and clear title, never salvaged, never wrecked. Has the towing package, and I have easily towed both my last owned 25 foot trailer and my previous camp trailer of 29 feet and 7,000lbs. Sold them both but this Fuel injected 5.3 Litre V-8 gets good fuel mileage, but will tow almost any reasonable pull trailer. This is the truck that Rattler, Asphaltangel and I all took to Tennesee and back. Zero glitches that trip, and if you want to buy it and have it delivered to Upper Maine or NY or Florida, I will drive it there and will have zero difficulty on that trip as far as the vehicle is concerned. $8995/offer, can take a couple of guns as partial trade if that will help you. I tried to post up some photos, but it seems like photobuckets page or site is down and out right now. I will try to post pictures later in the day, assuming photobucket gets back on line soon. PM me for some cell phone pics or other questions, details etc. This is a truly great truck. Comfortable, reliable x 1000 and very off road capable all at the same time. I don't need the winch, off road capability etc. any longer. I hope this one goes to a good home. So the guys mentioning you needing to sell guns to rebuild a transmission made me look and see if it were true. I had to know if the "Best looking/running Avalanche in the state! Maybe in the US" had some known issues. I would have though that you would have mentioned a rebuilt transmission when you mentioned the GM installed crate engine had it been repaired... We pulled a 29 footer, then our current 24.5 foot pull trailer with our 1/2 ton Chevy Avalanche, 327 V-8. BUT, now the transmission needs to be rebuilt  - at the 201,000 miles mark This was almost 4 months ago so it appears to be a known issue. Here is another one from 10 months ago... Right after acquiring dies (again) a pile of brass and bullets including Barnes 250's, 220's and Hornaday 200's (again, done this a couple of times now) I find that I have to rebuild the transmission on my one car, 2003 Chevy Avalanche. Can't complain about the life service of that one, 190,000 miles with many of them pulling large camping trailers but since being medically retired too early, the cash for this kind of thing can only come from one place, that being the gun safe.
Can consider some partial trades, especially if you have an extra Transmission for an '03 Chevrolet Avalanche or a set of 10.5x31x15 mud terrain radial tires! Anyway, I genuinely hope that the transmission has been repaired and you wouldn't be trying to sell something and not disclose a significant drivetrain issue. Anyway, when I went back and looked I found pictures for you and figured I would do you a solid and post them here for all interested parties to see. ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/safariman416/StuffforsaleinclAvalancheplusduckpics017.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/safariman416/StuffforsaleinclAvalancheplusduckpics018.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/safariman416/StuffforsaleinclAvalancheplusduckpics020.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/safariman416/StuffforsaleinclAvalancheplusduckpics027.jpg) For a guy that wants to fly under the radar and not draw a lot of attention to himself this just might be the truck for you(provided the transmission issues are taken care of)

That's exactly the truck I'd expect for a wood blue crf type guy.
