New member of the family? I think so!

[MjPioneer]

So I finalized the purchase of a new edition to my family! Short bed 87 2.5 tbi 4x4. 30/35 4.10's, ax5, no idea on the transfer case I think it's a 231 but possibly 207. 75% original! Has some sort of sun roof (Factory possibly? not sure) has a untouched non mangled bed, non cracked tail lights! Brandy new exhaust, ball joints, TRE's shocks and a file of receipts. Though it has flaws...Currently stuck in reverse and has serious floor problems on the drivers side. Set me back a cool $450. Tomorrow I am off to pay her off and tow her home!

Hahaha a little longer then that I think! In the beginning of the summer I went and looked at it with a friend and said PASS due to the tranny. Shortly after it disappeared from craigslist. Then all of a sudden last night it re appeared so I jumped all over it as it doesn't need that much work. Worse comes to worse I toss in a JY Ax5 and attack the floors and I have a decent rig. From what the owner has told me it was driving fine up until last winter so I have my fingers crossed on this little girl.

[Sir Sam]

Holy crap! You guys got snow already!?

 

It just got below 60 here during the day for the first time.

[MjPioneer]

haha no way not yet. Those just happen to be shots from last winter the seller had. The truck has been sitting around all summer last road driven I think in Feb when we had some snow. Although it has been dipping far below 50 all week. I believe right now it is about 41 outside.

I must be getting old because I'm getting worse at reading shorthand every day. Wait, that run-on sentence doesn't make any sense. :???:

 

Just messing with you :wavey:

 

Back on topic. The blue looks good; I'm thinking of painting mine some shade of blue.
