So, being that the BII is broked, and I really need a 4x4 soon... I found, and bought this...

Yes, it's 2wd, for now... I plan on doing a 2wd to 4wd swap on it soon, 33" AT's, 4-6" of lift, and just freshening everything up... It's 4.0, 160k miles, M50D, L/S 3.73 8.8"... I paid the whopping sum of $700 for it, lol...

Whoa, don't everybody reply all at once, haha... So, my plans have changed a bit... Instead of just doing a mild build up I'm gonna go sorta extreme :)
I'll be doing a D44 SAS and 33" mild MT's/agressive AT's, and eventually (sometime next year) swapping in a rebuilt turbo GM 6.5... What you guys think?

It sounds like it would be a pretty mean machine if you got that Turbo 6.5 swapped in.

Can I see a pic of the interior? How is that back seat compared to a B2 or the rest of the space in the rear for that matter? I don't like the B2's because they are so very small in the back. That thing looks just like a B2 because of the two doors vs the 4door of which I am not a fan.

Yeah, I've got a line on a N/A 6.2, but I'd like to find a factory turbo 6.5. I'm also having trouble figuring out what manual transmission would be good to put behind it...

Big enough to get 4 265/75 tires in (the 4th one fell out and rolled down my driveway, wasn't putting it back for the picture)...

It's about the same as a BII, I can lay down comfortably in the Ex and that's all I care about, lol... So, I can sleep in it... Nothing else...

That's the back seat, not much, but it holds my books and such pretty well, lol...

Here is how it sits now, I got the brand new Destination AT's and wheels from the BII on it, and I think it looks real sharp :)
