Default The Chief-Project Rock Monster!

I have been putting off doing a build thread but since I'm starting to get more into what I really wanna do to my beast I might as well get one up.
The Chief is mostly stock right now and I have many plans for my bad boy! Heres what it looked like the day I got it.




Next thing I did was put some custom dents in it by gently laying it on its side




Then my boyfriend bought me some 29" Super Swampers and after seeing then we decided to cut the fenders out to prevent rubbing my pretty tires





After a day of fighting with fenders and angle saws we decided to put some black tubbing around the cut so we didn't harm small children when we were driving down the road




So far thats all we have done. We haven't cut the back fenders out but they really rub so I think that might be the next thing. Also to come, I want to do an engine swap (2.4L to a 3.4L) , paint it, and do a 3-4 inch lift. More to come soon!

Thanks.....

Unfortunately I'm in Texas and it is in Kansas. I will be re-united with it Saturday or Sunday though! Hopefully I can go to the junkyard and find another 85 to steal some parts from

Actually, I like the look. Completely utilitarian with dents and all.

It needs flat paint, once (if?) you decide to throw paint on it.

I bet you get lots of room in parking lots and on the road. No-one in their right mind will crowd you with their Mercedes....
