neohic Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It is October! It's a time of change... this time of year. The weather, the leaves... the Comanches. Yup... seems like it's this time of year that I really get a move-on when it comes to finishing up projects. For some of us, the projects go on year round... and the rest of us love watching! One of such trucks is this clean '88. Seems like there's always something moving forward and getting better and better! This month is all for... Jeep Driver's '88 Pioneer!!!

Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ● No stories, it's my DD. CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ● There is no way I could have taken my truck this far without the help of CC and its members. Thank you. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Nice, Scott... real nice. I like the little details all over this truck. Everything is just so clean and I think it's great that you continue to improve on it. There's just not enough good information out there on the 2.5s and this one is just a nice example of what possible.

HOrnbrod Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This truck has been one of my favorites for quite some time. JeepDriver has not only retained it's originality but improved it with several well thought out "out-of-the-box" modifications. His work is always meticulous and sound, looks great, and I'm sure there will be much more to come. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
