So now that I have gotten a little progress done with my heep I decided to make a build thread. Its gonna be a slow build but will eventually get there. So i picked her up last October for 1200 bux wit 196k o the obo. Came with a stack of service records a mile high and even the dealer window sticker! Power everything, even the a/c blows ice cold, and all things work as they should!

Heres how she sat when I bought it. It was originality a ohio car so has some rust but only cosmetic. The truck was under coated so the only rust is on the rockers which will get replaced with frame sliders and rear quarter which im gonna cut and fold. Carpet was nasty too!

Then I decided time for a lift and went with a rustys offroad 3in and a IRO adjustable trac bar. Thankfully install went smooth and didn't break a single bolt.

Thats where she currently sits now. Next steps for me are swap bar discos, front end recovery points, removing the flares and trimming the fenders, and frame sliders. lmk what yall think so far.
