89 MJ Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Well, he was able to pick up a straight and solid tailgate for it. It cost $200, but it was cheaper and easier than fixing his orange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I’m kicking around the thought of driving down your way when school is out to hit some JYs for parts for this thing. He does have the rear bumper on the orange truck, and it’s fixable, but I don’t know if it’s worth fixing. On 4/26/2021 at 12:51 AM, MiNi Beast said: I trust my rust. Expand To kill vehicles maybe.

89 MJ Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 The LS and 4L60E are getting cleaned up and the computer is getting sent out to get tuned. He will pull the axles out of the orange truck to swap into the yellow one because they have better gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
