Phases and Changes to the 85 - Emergency Lighting

When I first bought it, all shiny and new, dare I say pristine...

After a couple of modifications, playing in the mud (with street tires, mind you)...

As it sits now: off road light set up, lighted visor, 31" BFG A/T KO's, 3" exhaust stack, tool box, and all of my emergency lights from my old ranger...

It's come a long way. When people ask me why I did an exhaust stack :icon_confused:, I simply respond; "Because I wanted to." :icon_thumby:

looks good, makes me miss my gen 1....

future plans?
 
Lift and bigger tires, probably 33's. Eventually I'll dump some money into the 2.8l, I think a turbo set up would be pretty bitch, not to mention unique. That won't be for some time though. I need to get the cutlass done and back on the street, I'm very close to having that beast drivable. :yahoo:

cool i love the truck man, you may wanna look into a 2.3 turbo setup....you can make some good power off of a relatively simple setup
 
I might do something like that, but I know for sure, whatever I do will be a blow-thru carb set up, I don't like having to deal with computers. lol. The closest the cutlass will come to having a computer is a MSD 6AL box, so the ranger won't have a computer either.
