will do, and thanks for the welcome..!!! I don’t even have pictures of it yet...😂 hopefully going to get some today. I looked it over yesterday and didn’t see any rust anywhere, but I couldn’t find the keys (it’s at my uncles shop), so hopefully today I can go down and get it inside and check it over really good. May throw the scanner on it and see if it’s got any codes or anything. I know it’s got a miss when you first start it but other than that I was told it runs and drives great... we shall see...!

Managed to run by and snap a couple pictures today, it’s been setting a while but did start on first try although it turned over very slow, I’m guessing weak battery. It does in fact have a steady miss, and the inside has garbage all over the place, lol... but I looked underneath and was surprised to see no signs of rust..!!! It’s got the saggy springs as usual but it’ll be lifted some anyway. Going to do some more diagnostics on it to see what the miss is and give it a good bath...
but so far looks to be a good deal..!!!

Well apparently I can’t upload photos...😂 I’ll need to figure that out...

obviously lift, wheels and tires (33 max May go smaller), bumpers, winch, all the get me unstuck goodies, com’s, convert back to storage/ kitchen setup, roof top tent and Raptor Liner paint job to start... still gathering ideas.

would love to get 44’s front and rear with lockers but I can do that later... don’t plan on doing anything super hardcore...
