Last vehicle

adsm08 · May 14, 2011

Bought what will be (per the wife) my last vehicle for quite some time.

That's OK with me.

Its a little beat up, but its freaking loaded and it runs out nice and strong and everything works. Got it for $600 along with receipts for well over 3 grand in work. I also have records for a recent top end rebuild. He said it cracked a head and he had the whole top end rebuilt.

I've already got some plans for it, but most of it will be relatively cheap since I already have most of the parts sitting around, including an 8.8 swap. I have an axle housing with no designated purpose, I have a set of gears that match the front, all I need is shims and breaks.

I agree. I already have the parts for an 8.8 rear end swap and I have a 4.0 SOHC just sitting around waiting for me to rebuild it. Once I D-35 my Ranger I'll also have the parts to manual hub swap the sucker. Will also get a manual t-case if this other guy decides he doesn't want my old one. :icon_welder:

EDIT: Also thinking she might get the EB grille and headlight upgrade that my Ranger has. Most of the front end panels are bent up good anyway.

Original grille, yes. I have the LMC replacement bulbs that look original, but the lenses aren't crystaled and they aren't sealed beams anymore. They make them in round ones for the EB too.

Well first things are first. It needs rear brakes and wheel cylinders, front tires, and an alignment. Saturday maybe.

The other stuff is going to wait a bit, gotta get some parts and money together first.

Actually, both the 88's have the same ding in the driver's fender. The white one is ostensibly Kip's 88: Project Restoration. I just need to get it to inspectable and sign the title over to him.

And this is the one I'm trying to name.
