Haha thats very possible. Not sure what the plan for this one is yet. I got it cause the interior is by far one of the cleanest I have ever seen. The outside is not bad either besides the front bumper and the clear coat peeling on the hood. So I might just fix some small issues and flip it. I am also thinking that if I do flip it, I need to make it 4wd to get the most out of it. So who knows. Once I start tearing into it and see what it actually needs, I will decide from there.

Exactly! I love driving a stick everyday even in our horrible CA traffic. If I decide to keep it, I will most likely make the white one more street friendly. Take the locker out, lower it back down and use it as a DD. Then go all out with the silver one.

back flushed. Fluid a little brown but kept flushing until clear. Flow was good. I did t-stat,water pump,radiator flush, even checked blend door and was fine. I did all that first then a fellow keeper suggested the heater core flush. Still like warm and it's really cold here in nh

Pulled oil filter adapter and replaced all orings. Oil pressure went from barely reading to past 3 bar on the gauge when running.
Next up... heat.
