I'm afraid this thing needs more work then I thought...

I'll get more pics later here. It has all HID lights in the front, kinda cool. Need to clean it good. Needs new batteries, and some glow plugs. But the batteries are still in the Interstate warranty period. So far that's all I got done.

No, nothing major. Just a lot of little things. The guy had a stereo system, and so on in here. Need to yank a lot of poorly done wiring, but mostly a lot of clean up. The paint job to make it the color blue it is was painted well, but it wasn't striped or covered well. There is over-spray EVERYWHERE. A lot of stuff was just done poorly in general. So a lot of putzy work to do.

But I still have to get it to work and see what the front end, rear end, suspension, steering, brakes and such are like. The motor, trans, t-case are all solid. Some oil leaks to fix though, plus I think power steering...

Today sucks to do anything too. Cold and rainy...

Gotcha Dave! Well I guess putzy work is better than major stuff. Sounds like most everything will be fairly cheap just a little more labor intensive.

Yeah, hopefully it works out right. I got some money on top of the trade, so I have a bit to work with. Hopefully it's all time...

Well that is nice that you got some money to work with. I am sure we can help you spend it!!

Is it leveled or got a lift? It looks to be sitting higher but maybe just the tires and picture angle.
