Camomanche Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 My first vehicle was an 1988 Jeep Eliminator. Through a series of unfortunate events it was taken from me. Been searching for one ever since. Meet Camo-manche. 1987 Pioneer, in-line 6 automatic 4WD. I have lots of plans to bring her into mint “badass stock” condition. Some fancy upgrades are in her future. I’m so stoked to have found her rust free; roughly 150k on her, normal mechanical needs, breaks, speedo cable, drag link. Other than that solid truck! Also stoked I found this community and get to watch y’all as builds! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 All I see is some wheels, a Jeep front end, some glass and mirrors. Lol. Nice score though! Sad to hear your first was taken from you. Be sure to register it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camomanche Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 🤣 will do! I let a family member drive my first one. It got destroyed and sold to a scrap yard before I even knew it. But this old girl will make up for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the kid I bought it from had a tranny for it. So worse comes I’ll swap it out!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
