Paid a shop $50 to get it home since I don't have a trailer, his had a winch. Got it home, threw a battery in it and holy moly it started right up. And yard drove. Pretty happy for a $100 investment so far. Pic shows the worst side. Has a plow mount on it ill be taking off.

Frig!!!! Cruising out to go ride bikes, and some chick tries to pull a left turn in front of me. I would like to thank motocross and mountain bikes for keeping my brain fast. I threaded the needle to mostly avoid her, not run into a city bus, or the light pole or people. Took some driver side damage but I am okay, she is okay, and her plastic VW front end is toast. Now I wait to see what insurance says. I could use a few hundred bucks but who knows. Hope her insurance is legit, I don't have uninsured driver vehicle damage I think, just medical coverage. She almost gave me 3000 cash right there! HA!

Give us some feedback on those shocks after you get them on; just curious.

Yep, had a loaded box in the back cargo, and a bike on rack, so I was worried for the .01 second I had to think about getting hit in the back. Always my worry with my moto in the van. I need to secure that thing better. I think the box hit my chair, because my back is a little sore...Jeep didn't get that roached really, which is nice.
I reallllly want to roll it to 200k though! Its at 192.5 right now
