Signature Autosports in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, is pleased to offer this very well cared for pre-owned 2020 Santorini Black Metallic 2-Door Soft Top with just under 2,900 miles on the odometer a sturdy yet sophisticated SUV highlighting modern craftsmanship and time honored motoring heritage.

Bespoke-built by Osprey Custom 4x4, and starting with a new, hot-dipped galvanized chassis, this exciting build was completed by their talented Team of Master Craftsmen in January 2021. The high-revving, deep breathing 5.3L LS V8 provides impressive forward motivation, while the precise-shifting 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission with PCS® push-button gear selector with LED display mated to a heavy-duty, center differential lock-equipped LT230 transfer case distributes constant power to all four wheels making certain that the brawny 325+ horsepower and 330+ pound-feet of torque makes it to the ground. Powerful disc brakes at all four corners ensure stops are quiet, safe, quick, and efficient.

The upgraded heavy-duty front and rear axles are supported by slightly elevated Terrafirma® shocks and springs. The chassis features Terrafirma® caster-corrected front and cranked rear radius arms, track rod, drag link, and steering damper, all safeguarded by a heavy-duty aluminum front skid plate. The vehicle stands on satin black Project Kahn® 1948 alloy wheels wrapped with beefy 285/75R16 BFGoodrich® All-Terrain T/A® KO2® tires, featuring interlocking tread elements to maximize traction and handling on- and off-road by stabilizing the tread center and providing biting edges for improved traction. This is the toughest BFGoodrich all-terrain tire. Ever.

The body was skillfully finished in deep Santorini Black Metallic complemented by color-matched wheel arches and trim, all completed at our in-house body and paint facility. Adding to the vehicle's safety features, a satin black powder-coated multi-point Safety Devices® safety cage provides enhanced passenger protection. The premium black soft top fits snugly, keeping the elements at bay, while the quick and easy-to-roll-up and zip-out side and rear windows offer the freedom of an open-air experience whenever desired.

At the front end, this rugged SUV showcases a gloss black XS®-spec grille with a satin silver wire mesh insert, gloss black light surrounds, side intake, and wing top vents with silver accents. For modern and precise illumination, LED headlamps with LED marker, turn, reverse, and tail lamps have been installed. The impressive front is completed with a satin black powder-coated slim-line bumper featuring two integrated LED daytime running lamps.

At the rear, the vehicle features a satin black powder-coated North American Spec (NAS) step bumper, designed to accommodate the high-definition rearview camera, a 2-inch hitch receiver, and jacking/recovery points. Additionally, a heavy-duty swing-away rear tire carrier provides a neat and functional solution for storing the spare tire while maintaining quick access to the rear passenger/cargo area.

Satin black powder-coated "Fire & Ice"-style tubular side steps make entering and exiting the passenger cabin easy. Inside, you'll find a modern-style dash that ensures excellent heating and air conditioning, providing year-round comfort for the occupants. The well-appointed interior is complete with Black Leather upholstered front sport seats with contrasting white stitching. Additionally, the, four side-facing rear seats can be stowed away when not in use, offering ultimate flexibility - seating for additional friends and family or creating true utilitarian cargo space - with over 55 cubic feet available when folded.

Behind the leather-wrapped Momo® sport steering wheel, you'll find a traditional, no-nonsense driver command center. It is focused around a satin black fascia that houses the state-of-the-art infotainment system. This system includes an Alpine® iLX-W650 7-inch HD capacitive touch-screen head unit with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® capability, touchscreen swipe controls, Bluetooth®, and a built-in Digital Signal Processor. A rich-sounding Rockford Fosgate® 8-speaker array enhances the audio experience.

Convenient amenities in the vehicle include power front windows, a leather-wrapped center console with storage cubby, 2 USB charging points, and two oversized aluminum cup holders. To help protect the impressive interior, heavy-duty rubber floor mats are provided for the front footwells and rear loadspace/passenger area.
