craigslist is SKETCHY. Glad to hear the happy ending.

 

I had a good laugh out of the whole deal after we got it back home. All my dad said about the ordeal was "wow, that dude was squirrelly."

I meant to say they didn't seem dangerous but I left out the word didn't... Freudian slip I guess.

Might get a new radiator for it just to be safe. I want someone to own it and be able to cruise around in it with out worrying about pushing it too hard and getting hot.

 

Wow gotta love Craigslist stories haha!

 

It's really a shame your not closer. I'd definatly make an offer lol

 

I think I've got it traded but it's another craigslist deal so I guess we'll see lol

 

Well the Jeep got traded last weekend to a couple of guys that will drive it and enjoy it way more than I did. The truck I got is ROUGH but it's something new to get fixed up.

 

Awe man no more jeep. Good to see you got another project going though. You should keep a build thread on it so we can watch!

 

I AGREE! do a build so we can watch

 

I can do that. Should I just keep this one going or start a new thread in "other vehicles"?

 

Keep this one going!

 

If you insist lol

Here are a few pictures. I really haven't done anything to it other than try to figure out what I've got and what needs to be done.

Specs are:
94 extended cab body
4.3 v6, 5 speed, 231 transfer case
79 F250 Dana 44 front 4.10 gears
79 F250 Dana 60 rear 4.10 gears
37" Iroks

I've got some of the mud washed out from underneath and have been stripping the interior for a good scrubbing. I've got a matching set of seats going in this weekend and a 14 bolt swap kit on order already. The PO took the yoke off of the rear diff because it was broken so when you (attempt to) drive it, the rear pinion and ring gear lock up. The other challenges will be the scary steering and A LOT of electrical work.



Needs new springs on all 4 corners.


I'll make some tube sliders at some point but the ones on it make a good step for the time being.


Probably build a new center console/shifter cover to house some speakers, cb, and other switches.


Need a high steer arm and knuckle machined to get rid of this.


Reason for the axle swap


Every inch of this truck needs to be redone but it should be worth it after it's completed.

 

Looks like a fun project! Not as classy as an xj though

 

ahh man dude i loved your rig gave me so much inspiration... wish i could of bought it!!!

 

i think it needs a 5.3 swap

 

I wouldn't say the xj was classy but she did clean up good lol. Hopefully the s10 will start looking better in the next night or two.
