I went out to buy myself a truck...

[jsquared]

And got a huge piece of shit!





Naw it aint that bad, pics make it worse than it looks. Should clean up nicely

Mystery rear shackle lift




Mystery front lift




Mystery of the missing interior panels




Oh there you are! Also, mystery seats




Mysteriously rebuilt




4WD works though





Sup.

Hey.

[Treefish]

So goooooood, nice solid front too

[jsquared]

Yeah it run nice, needs a lotta work tho haha. Im trying to get on Austin's level.

Hahaha, such an awesome review. I'm jealous for real though, can't wait to check it out in person soon.

Called about a bunch lately but can't find anything halfway decent that fits my budget. Found a $2900 87 in abalambala that looks decent but no heat, no ac, no gas gauge, super high miles, etc. Then found another really clean one in Grant Park but it's also pretty high miles and they want $5k, ugh. Bunch of them up in NC right now but no one has returned my calls and I don't want to drive ~4-5 hours for something I'm not pretty certain of. I'll get in the club eventually .

But yea, congrats again! Holler if you've got some free time and can meet up soon, I wanna go for a ride!

[jsquared]

Yeah man lets do it this weekend if you got time, Im going to be going through it all tomorrow probably, organizing and cleaning lol

[CodyW]

Sweet! I gotta bust out a ton of S3 work for the new issue at some point tomorrow and then going to cook out/shoot .22's in the woods with my dad Sunday but I'll holler if I get some free time!

If not, I should have some time in the next couple of weekends perhaps.

Congrats!

Makes perfect sense that after I sell the Warwagon everyone is starting to get offroad rigs.

[FooSchnickens]

You sold my subaru? You dick!

Sup. Hey.
LOVE THAT!

See... you can't sell the FC. They're best pals now!
Congrats dude!!

When all you dudes start going mudding... I want to go shoot ya'll!

[jsquared]

I spent all day cleaning mud from the inside today totally sucked, I dont know whether to try and make this thing nicer or just F it and worry about other stuff haha. Im too particular I think.

Good news is theres plenty of other stuff to worry about. I started making a list and stopped at three pages. Did I mention it might need a head gasket?

[CodyW]

Oh man, sucks it does need one!

Hope it all goes ok though, I suck at car stuff but I'll be glad to help if you need anything! I saw a ton of 4runner bro's in east atlanta last night too (2 1st gens, 1 SAS'd 2nd gen), we need to find these dudes and learn all their fun, haha.

[jsquared]

Well so far no more milky stuff, let it run for about 30 minutes and took a drive around the block and it still looked good so maybe its ok? No smoke either so who knows, compression check next weekend and I should know more.

Got the interior hosed out and all the mud gone, rear seats bolted in, front seat belts in, passenger seat in, and picked up a sweet ass set of Ram Van side mirrors at pull a part today, they are huge haha. Also picked up some second gen tailgate latch cables and they swapped into mine perfect, back opens up like buttah now.

Gotta do the rear brakes, bleed all 4, flush/bleed the clutch and put the drivers seat in and its ready for the road!! Well, technically ready, still tons left to do to get it ready for long trips haha.

[CodyW]

Sweet, glad it's coming along!

Gonna try to scope out that 87 auto in Athens soon, maybe next weekend if possible.
