I picked up this truck last month for the low price of a savage axis .308. I knew the transmission was shot when I went to pick it up, but the chassis and important bits were pretty rust free, and the body was pretty straight, and the best part is it was unmolested, with only 70k original miles. The only downside is there's some patches of pretty bad rust on the body.
I'm planing to do a mild off-road build, while maintaining as much highway drivability as possible, and the first step is getting that busted fm145 out, and putting in a low mile m5r1.
I have a clutch, flywheel, starter and hydraulics setup out of a 4.0, and a m5r1 on the way. I decided while the transmission was out I would replace the rear main seal, and take a peek inside the transfercase as well.
I'll get a build plan together, and post it up here for advice and suggestions! In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of my new toy!
