Passing of the Unicorn.

[89eliminator]

to me, those visors didnt even look stock. they are longer than the ones in my 89.

[Geonovast]

Is that steering wheel horn stock?

 

:D

 

That was one of the first things I changed. I had one laying around, so it went on as I was putting in the radio.

Rob,That truck is just to dern nice, and rare, to be in the rust belt. It needs a home where it will be loved, respected, guarded, restored and in a rust free atmosphere. You gonna bring it out or want me to come get it? The Dreamer. :rotf:

[whowey]

He said it was heading to somewhere just as salty...

[Kittrell]

Rob, this unicorn still kicking around in your pasture?

[Automan2164]

Unfortunately not. I sold it to afford my factory diesel MJ, and the current owner painted it orange... :fs2:

 

Rob :rant:

 

[Kittrell]

Oh crap, this guy? I didn't know that was the same one, sad story.

 

[Automan2164]

Yep. While I do appreciate the fact that they put a lot of work into the truck, I regret ever selling it, and have ever since the instant I found out it's fate.

 

Is what it is, but I really wish it would have went to someone who was going to maintain it as the anomaly it was.

I did what I could to convince him otherwise.....lol. Its still a very nice truck and turns alot of heads. For those who don't know the green part of the Eliminator decals is color matched Hunter metallic green, I did talk him into that so even though it may not be the dominant color on the truck anymore, It will always be part of it ;)

[FrankTheDog]

Hunter green to hunter orange. Ouch

[ComancheKid45]

Sadly my uncle passed away a few weeks back and this thing will likely be in my driveway in the near future. But man has it been through it over the last 13 years.....

 

I plan for it to become my new daily. 

 

I'll gladly post some photos in due time.

 

[Pete M]

sorry for your loss.  

[Fryedaddy]

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear, bro. Has the truck been driven and enjoyed over the past 11 years?

Yes it's been on the road. My uncle enjoyed it up untill 2022 when he had a spinal stroke that unfortunately he never recovered from. His grandson then ran this truck for an 8 month or so period and absolutely beat the crap out of it.....it has been sitting since last winter in his driveway. It needs some TLC and love but it still a street able truck.

curious to see what is looks like

Same. I think I remember seeing it in Rob’s garage when he had it. 

[ComancheKid45]

Should be bringing this beaten and battered soul home tomorrow. It's needs some love but will be back on the roads soon. ☺️

 

 

[neohic]

Good that the truck is still around. Give it a good home! 

[ComancheKid45]

After a few weekends of love, I drove this fella to work this evening. I have my eyes on a set of proper Eliminator wheels for it 😉

 

This truck will replace my 1988 2wd i have campaigned since 2012. 

[Pete M]

great to see it on the road again! 

[neohic]

^ Agreed! 

[ComancheKid45]

Ok, its not Hunter Green but a good coat of bedliner on the lower body and fender flares helped this truck out alot.
