I've been a member for about a year now, but never really introduced myself or my rig properly.
I purchased it about a year ago. Got it for $5000. Maybe I overpaid, but it was a '96, no power anything, manual transfer, hadn't been beaten on, and only had 82,000 miles on it. Some minor body cancer, but seemingly nothing too major. Runs like new.
Improvements this past year:
1. New cargo springs, which seem to get me about an inch above stock. All the way around.
2. Rancho RS 5000's
3. Mastercraft Coursers in 31" (wish I had done 33 x 10.5's though)
4. New sound system with satellite radio, an amp, and a custom box.
5. Warn Premium Lockers
6. New poly bushings.
8. Just started on body work this week! I've got big plans there and will post my progress as it slowly comes. I've got no real experience with the body work. Try to be constructive in your criticism! Ha! It's all getting covered up with bedliner compound (inside and out) anyhow.
Here's a pic of the truck today just before cutting into it. Good new is that I live near JBG - lots of easily accessible parts - MAJOR BONUS.
Take care,
Matt (Michibronc)
