Here is a quick picture just to get the ball rolling.
Picked this truck up off a guy in Daytona Beach Florida.
-Its a '87
-180k miles.
-4x4
-5 speed
-Original motor and axles.
If your wondering about the title i can explain..
I bought it smelled SO BAD that the first thing i attempted to do was take the interior out.. while in the process of trying to unbolt the seat i ran across a cellophane bag with some questionable matter in it.. It was basically what was once weed but after many moons of being lost under the seat of a mud truck it looked more like a couple dirt clots.. I was so amused by my discovery that i weighed the contents and hence the name "Half Eighth" :yes:
Here is a list of things I want to get done to this by the end of 2014
-Upgrade the Renix Cooling System to a system that actually makes sense and works.
- Install new Gas tank and xj Fuel Pump ( i bought the tank without the pan in it don't worry)
