WahooSteeler Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Let's ban him!!!! Dude, seriously, if you want to hear a bunch of grown men cry, post a better, and bigger, pic of the "before" truck. Truly a shame you didn't know what a find you had. After getting it running you could have sold it for $1-2k easy assuming your description is correct, and used the money to buy an already beat down trail rig. Hey, 99NCXJ has a clean BLUE PIONEER bed sitting in NC for $100(?). We can save you we can save you!! :laughin: By the way, where are you from? Please don't tell me your from Wisconsin Mr. "I found this cherry sitting in the weeds for $200". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Wahoo, I'm starting to sense that you wished you lived here... Or that you hate us. Either way, I hope he's not from WI...cause if Pat gets ahold of him who know what could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Geo, nope, no desire to live there. Love my Shenandoah Valley Blue Ridge Mountains too much. And yet I can be at the beach in 3 hours too :brows: But I did "date" a little cutie from Madison, WI that I met when I was working on cruise ships years ago. I'm sure you were only kidding when you questioned if I hate you guys for all the crazy deals that seem to fall in your laps, but for the record I definitely don't hate you guys :D A lot of you make up the "core" group here on the club. I just love bustin' bawlz on all of you, especially cuz you all just roll with it :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Holy cow, guys. :roll: The steel is cut, there's no need to keep crying over spilled milk. It's his truck that he rescued from oblivion and decided to make a bad-azz trail rig out of it instead of keeping it a stocker. I would like to see some better "after" pics though. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepinmanch Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Looks like a good trail rig. Shame to see the bed get cut up like that, it looked like a nice straight pioneer.

Pete M Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Bummer. :( But not that uncommon. My 88 overheated on our first trip out and the 90 blew the clutch line on the way home. Stuff happens with old trucks. :( You might want to post the questions in the tech section. More eyes will see it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
