My new 4x4 pics!!!

Here is the beast. It has 130k on the odo (doubt its correct). It was $500 with an auto tranny that won't go into drive but you can drive around in 1st (low gear!). It doesn't leak any oil or burn any coolant. Doesn't seem to burn any oil either. I took compression of the cylinders and has 150 psi on ALL of them Little beat up...needs a tune up REALLY bad. The plugs are in horrible shape. Other than that it is a decent truck. I'm happy I got it. Looks like it has a 4" lift on 33"s

Pics...

I'm more "wtf" about the wires dangling down from the ass-end and up there on the exhaust mount


good find man; looks like it goes to fast it peels the paint off

maybe you should put that motor in your 2wd; then you wond have to deal with the oil burning, lol

put stock bump stops on and remove those upper extensions, the stock ones increase spring rate instead of just a solid metal on metal contact point.. that direct pressure cant be good for the axle housing or anything around there for that matter

For how fugly it is, its actually quite pretty.



Its so rednecky! I'd love to drive it and be a reckless teenager I'd like the paint if there wasn't red splattered everywhere.
