It's a 91 with a 4.0 and an auto. You won't believe the body on this thing. I will have to get some pictures. I can't believe dad is still driving the thing. He has a short drive to work (10 miles or less), but this thing is ridiculous, LOL! Hole in the floorboard, fenders flopping everywhere, no grill, messed up head light, lol. It's destined for the mud and woods!

Ya Boggers. Looking for 42" Iroks Actually gm dana 60 14 bolt SM465 mated to dual Yota cases with a chevy 355 carbed for now. In the process of switching to propane. Simple motor wiring with all the benefits of EFI.

Yep haha just like being around a forklift. But as long as you dont mind the smell its a great way to go for around $800! With that setup you'd have a blast up here! New England wheeling is a whole different monster too! So its a new challenge.

That would be an option. I might talk to a friend about bringing his rig out and split costs and I'll just run my 40' trailer.
