well uh....the toy is basically the "graduate school" of offroading, so you may as well sell the Heep.

NICE 79 btw!!

Nice truck man. I dig those green rims. Gotta represent the '79s. Keep both of em for now. You never know when the zombies will rise and you'll need an off road convoy.

thanks guys! the black is rattle can bedliner lol. its pretty much rust free, which i couldn't believe for how old it is. i guess thats one of the good parts about living in the desert its goin strong but it still needs some work...like i just got it emission tested and i bombed it cause its running pretty rich and spittin gas out of the exhaust....i should probably fix that...but thanks for all the feedback!
