87 4x4 stock as far as I know. Blown transmission, starter is off, along with transfer case and front drive shaft, other than that I'm hoping to turn it over tomorrow =)

Started washing it(covered in black mold) Drained the oil, and the radiator. Radiator was plugged back flushed it and it drained. Was plugged with sand/gravel and green gunk. Clear fluids coming out now so I re plugged it.

I'm going to run a quart of oil through it and douche it =p Also got some oil stabilizer and a K&N filter for it...

Oh yeah, whats the easiest way to drain the gas tank. It has a quarter tank in it but my GF dad thought it smelt fine... no rust from what I can see, which isn't much, I have some fuel treatment and injector cleaner, should I dump it in and not worry about it? only sat 2 years. Thought I might be able to fill it up and just drive it till it uses it all and replace the filter then do another injector cleaner just to be safe.

Might put the 33"s on too, but the rear measures 31" at the fender wells =p

Interior and body look nice for an 87. Seems like it will work well once you get it up and running. good luck!
