You'll figure it out.

My older daughter sneaked out one night at a very young age and when Patty found out she tracked her down. In a town of 30K she used her radar and out of many, many resturants she went right to the one where she was at. She told me to go look and all I could say was WHERE???

I'm glad you got it up and running. I'm also glad it was something relatively inexpensive to fix. It's about time you caught a break (if this can even be considered a break). So what will you be driving for a DD if the grenade is leaving?

I'm not exactly sure which way I'm going honestly. I have my work vehicle at home now so dd is not an issue. I have a few things to do this week then on to Clifford. .
The jeep, Lincoln, grenade hope will leave real soon.....

ol'grenade is looking pretty sad. Has not run in probably a year or more. Guess it's time for me to get it back. The paint deal went south and my buddy told me I can come get it.
if I can make it drive again then the fifth wheel hitch goes in this for now...

I think I can bring it around for tow duty again. I wish it had the 4.10s back in it tho.
my big question is shorten the frame to use the short bed that's sitting on it or procure a long bed.
For towing long bed...for ease of parking short...the short is already painted blue...the wife wants blue anyway....I'm seeing a trend here...

Long bed or extra cab.....

If I had an extra cab I would glue it on there and give it a good rattle can paint job.

Then it's damn sure to sell when the time comes.

You made the Ranger stranger make this the OBS extra long bobber.

That is true and A LOT less work. Plus you will only have to get rattle can paint or what ever.
Do you have drive shafts and ebrake cable?

edit

Easiest to put a long box on it though..

I wish I had the long box for it back. That's the simplest remedy.
