Thats a beater? Looks like it would take a lil effort to make a nice trail rig/dd, not so much a beater. lol that 4spd is wicked I would luv to have mine as 4spd.

 

[84CUCV]

its got some bad rust. runs and drives tho. clutch feels good. for 500 why not. i have 2 manual k5s now. now this one. one is going to ebay dont need 3.

plans are going to be simple. keep it cheap. got the remains of 2 m1008s for 800. so going to get the axles from one of them. 4 or a 6 " lift. will be calling diy4x4 for some parts like the parts i have from him so far.

see how it goes

Ditch the Thornturds.

they will be gove never fast. have 35" bfgs to go on

 

[AJMBLAZER]

I say just cut to fit the 35's. Not like the rust is going to complain.

 

[84CUCV]

thats what im doing

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Ah. Good point, you didn't mention a lift and when I saw you mentioning DIY4X4 I just sorta went there. My bad.

 

[84CUCV]

damn... around here thats show worthy.

 

[84CUCV]

nope not close to show worthy. a friend of mine was up that way and looked at it why he was there, i had my girl friend with me. we were late i missed some things. trucks pretty beat.

more then i thought, step down in the tub is gone all the way across. can see the ground. passenger seat is held by two bolts. rest are rusted. were the seat belt bolts to down by the floor. nothing there all. seat belt just hangs. the cross member must have got hooked on something. just about ripped out.

here is the best one. lift kit is 3 pieces of 1" steel staked up. safe...

he took it down the road and the front end jumped all over. i only took it around town. didnt get the speed to make it jump. no idea what that could be.

sure missed a lot. that what i get for bringing her. asking every 5 min if i am done. i will be passing on this

that truck is literally 5 mintues walking distance from me. it hasnt moved in probably years. i pass it atleast once a day.
