Driver-side lockable under-bed storage
24v-12v converter
Super bright 27-watt rear LED spotlight

All fluids have been replaced within the last 300 miles. This truck is ready to go anywhere.
The not-so-good:
The truck has a salvage title. It was explained to me prior to purchase that the rear axle had been damaged in a collision. Because of the unique nature of the vehicle and their unfamiliarity with sourcing parts and repairs, the insurance company totaled it. The previous owner had the axle replaced and I've found no evidence of any axle-related problems whatsoever.
The winch runs on 12v and the truck has a 24v electrical system. The winch is currently not hooked up to the batteries. There are a few different ways to rectify this on the cheap but doing it properly would probably cost about $300.
The spare tire has a slow leak and needs a refill about every other week.
The horn, fuel gauge and odometer aren't currently working - odo reads 11,532km.
