Destroyed my 89 Jimmy

[Wildman III]

Well mothers day I went wheeling while my wife was taking a nap .
I found a huge hole and buried my jimmy . water and sand entered through a weak front crank seal and wiped all the engine bearing and crank out
5 hours later and 2 toyotas to pull me out here are the pic's

You didn't destroy it, you created an opportunity to upgrade it.

 

[Wildman III]

Well I trades my 69 vw for a 85 K5 with a 540 BBC and tons . with a 4 inch lift and 35's . Now I will take the 89 and build a trail rig

she was dreaming against your Jimmy.... BUT it's a chance to UPGRADE

 

[ohoffroader]

I would be more upset about the two toyotas pulling you out.

Hope your wife was taking a long nap!

There is a silver lining to every cloud. Like others have stated, now is the time to upgrade and rebuild. You will be happy when your done.
