Here's a few pics of what I'll be driving for 4 months.



And now what we've all been waiting for. Our feature presentation. (the Jeep was the previews)

Me with the truck when we got there.

Quick picture before I run inside and do paperwork.

Finished paperwork and getting ready to bring her home. Started taking pics of broken stuff to see if you guys could help out.
Missing ring around OD lockout.

Missing handle for the recline lever.

Missing button for the lock.

Pic from the ride home.

Taking a nap in her new home after a long drive.

 

Nice rig....You can get both the OD switch ring and the recline handle from the dealer pretty cheap. I replaced the switch and also bought a new ring..they charged me $4 for the ring. The handle will run prolly about $20.

 

The truck looks good, whats with the jeep, you cant drive the truck?

 

Congrats on the new arrival, seems like all cosmetic things you can pick up at the salvage yard, nice and good luck. How many miles Pete???

Great looking truck Pete! I know you have been EXCITED waiting for it!!!!! Those things are very minor to fix, you'll have it looking like new in no time! Congrats

 

I forgot a couple things:

1: Does the new style cup holder slide right into the hole left by the cup throwers without any major modification?

2: A set of cup holders to replace the cup throwers is about 120$ right?

3: Does anyone know of a good way to snap off a lock on the pin that holds a receiver hitch together?

 

Always use FTEpartsguy if ya can! he is a stand up guy!

 

The truck looks good Pete. The lever and OD cap are a piece of cake to fix. Don't know what's up with the missing door lock ****. You'll need to pull the panel and peek inside to see what's going on. Door panel removal

How many miles on the truck? Don't forget to check out the shocks and make sure they're not worn.

Love the Pink Jeep dude If I were you, I'd spend some time cleaning things up under the hood on weekends and telling your friends you're just driving the Jeep until you get your truck fixed up right. Don't feel too bad. I made my daughter drive a POS car until she got out of high school.

 

The story of the Jeep:
My parents (aka: mom nagging dad into submission) think I should drive the Jeep for 4 months after I get my license because.
"That truck is too big and is too powerful." -mom
Why I am perfectly capable of driving dad's 6.0 all over the place now, but I will somehow become incapable of driving my 7.3 once I get my license is beyond me, but it gives me time for fixing and modding.

Thanks. She's got 113,4** miles as she sits. I was unable to get some pictures of the truck's most severe damage. The tailgate has a long dent up the center and the passenger side of the bed has several dents and one slight hole like someone backed into it with a hitch. Plus the bed bolts are quite loose. I want the bed side reskinned and an 08 tailgate plus some Line-X.

 

We use to have a HOT pink 197? international scout out at the race track that was a push truck. It had no roof and a aqua blue roll bar. Also had a Pink Flamingo mounted to the hood the squirted water! We stuffed some 35's on it and had a air raid horn on it too! The thing was classic! we would get such an amazing response from the crowed it was great!

 

Pete, you have been around here long enough to know what you need to do for mods. I think you have the right truck for mods. Single cab, 4x4. My next play truck. Good luck on this.

 

Just broken in mileage. Looks like you know your path to repair with this truck, good luck and congrats again..nice lookin truck.

 

Finally Pete. Nice truck. Glad you got her home safe. The guys have already given you the best options for parts. Congrats!

 

Pete, get an estimate on how much the bed repair is going to be. I had an estimate of $1,900 to repair the back side of the bed on one of my work trucks. (big gouge behind the tire & some other small stuff) I called around to the places that sell service bodies, and picked up a 2008 bed with tailgate, lights, & bumper for under $1,000. Work trucks are typically white (which is what I needed), but you could get yours painted to match.
