Got the new DD home last night. going to need a lot of body tlc before its anywhere close to what I want it to be, but for $2k with 160k on it I can't complain. 3" leveling kit with a 3" block in the rear Rancho 9000 shocks on all 4 corners. Rides great runs amazing. In fact if it didn't drive and run as well as it did I would have walked away. Everything else is stock with the exception of being wired for a system. Light grey interior needs a severe detail when spring gets here. I love the auto 4wd feature. right now plans are just to get some matching 285 all terrains for it, tint, and then start on the body when the weather warms up. Doors are all solid so that's about $1000 saved already. but the rockers and rear fenders are almost gone. I am not sure if I will order patch panels or what my attack plan will be for the rockers as of yet. Since only the bottoms are rusted out I might cut out the rust and weld one long piece of 1/8"x5" plate to the bottom. going to get rhino lined up to the body line anyways because salt belt. 03-07 bumper swap is a must.

Gotta love that fog light delete kit :facepalm:
 
I hate rust too but for 2k if it runs good and everything works and the frame isn't in 2 pieces you can get your money back out of it
 
Around here IMO I could put fender flares on it pack the rockers with bondo and get 4k as it sits. Especially around this time of the year. to many idiots with to much cash from tax returns. Im surprised I ended up as far ahead as I did. Watched an 01 with 270k all beat to piss sell for $4500 in a day.
 
nice score.. when you bedline the bottom make sure its colormatched and not black :D
Unfortunately it will be black. BUT it's free through a family member so I am not going to complain. And it has a lifetime garuntee. Just got to find the time to work on the rockers. I've got a loader torn down been working on it till 6-7 at night. Got quite a bit of snow supposed to come through, figure Ill be plowing. Oh well. More money for truck shit
