I absolutely love the stance on that truck. Looks to be in damn good shape, should make for one helluva project.

This one has a professionally installed suspension lift and 31's to make it sit up there. Actually it sits a bit higher than my Hi Rider w/3" body lift and 30's.

I would love to do a 4.0 swap but time, money and motivation are holding me back. Since my garage is just that, a garage, occupied by 2 decent cars, an '03 focus and '00 Jetta, there isn't that nice place to work all the time.

I am going to replace the transmission to hopefully get it on the road sometime soon for the wife and daughter to have something to get around in the snow.

The deal I got was too good to pass up considering the condition of the truck in general. Yeah, it needs a bit of work but most of it is cosmetic when you get past the trans issue, (none there). Fortunately the folks that worked on it before put all the nuts, bolts and parts inside for the trans replacement. Now all I need is a trans to bolt up.

That will definitely be a fun winter time rig.
