This goes along with my 93 build I'm up to right now. This is the first truck I'm going to try and make look pretty somewhere other than on a trail or oil rig road. So here it is. Do I replace it or keep. Y'all can weigh in if it's going to be worth it to fix the part or just replace it. Also any cool ideas that don't involve something off the shelf.
Front chrome bumper is going to get replaced since it's tweaked from getting bumped in to a tire by PO. This cute little brush guard will probably get straightened and sold then replaced by a custom bent tube bumper unless someone has a cool idea for it. I can't think of anything since it's so flimsy.
Keep it. Blazeland Long Travel Kit, 3.4 swap it. Done and Done.
This rig has to be interstate drivable for the 1,300 ish miles to work, SAS would be the route I go but this truck will stay mostly stock suspension. I'll be working by the Canadian boarder again next year and plan on picking up a complete diesel land cruiser. That will be the ride that gets the cash invested in it. If I can find a 3.4 donor for the right price I'll do a swap but I haven't found one yet.
friend owns a powersports dealeship in town. If the plan works out I'll be bringing several back down here and building up to resell them on his lot. Great way to pay for my 2,700 mile drive every 2 weeks. I know a couple folks that have bought one and kept it but I'm not sure what's involved to re sell it here.
