Postin some pics of the buys back before I came over to the sandbox. Just got on one of them spendin' kicks.
Story on this one was an ad to part out an exploder for cheap. Started askin' about prices for a lot of things I wanted for my sport when the guy asked if I had a trailer.
"yup"
"Comeon over with a 100bucks"
Anywoot, it was a repo, and the yard only holds it for one year. Even worse, which I didn't know was allowed, is they use it for parts durin' that time. Tranny was gone, hood latch was gone, drivers motor window was gone, and filled with junk. Some from the repo, and other random car parts I assume from the yard.
Well after that tow, I needed some lift blocks and new tires for sure.
Added a 4" raise in the rear, bushwacker fender flairs to get rid of the garden edgin' "flairs", and some brand new Firestone Transforce AT 235/85/R16's to round out the rear.
Next I wanted somethin' new to make sure I can get to work without havin' to bolt something together halfassed. Went lookin' for a four banger five speed plain jane ranger with AC. Couldn't find one so long story short got this new '08 leftover with 20miles for 20k. 4x4 would have been nice, but don't need it really so this will be a highway cruzer.
Thing pulls like a freight train in 3rd and 4th and can accelerate more than a 7.3L in all six gears. The manual spanks that torq**** tranny too. Tryin' to figure out how to help the look with prolly a bull bar, 4inch lift up front, and some 265series all terrains.
Hate hate hate the tailights, so traded with a guy owning an '03 who wanted the new lego look.
Anyway, I'll get some more pics loaded soon.
