Default New toy!

Yup did it again, passed up a chevy thought it would be good to start wheeling again. This time with something I can beat up and not worry about. Damn thing doesn't leak and runs like a top.

As he sits,




Needs a name, but it came with vanity plates ROCKN85 which I kept. Seems like a good name for now.

Specs -1985
22RE 2.4L litters of pure power! It does 80mph floored down hill!
Stock 4.10 axles
Rebuilt front Breaks to birdfields and all new suspension
33x12.5 tires

What I have done, gone from 2x4 to 0x4 till my drive shafts are ready to get pick up. Pulled all the speaker wires from the previous system. Bought $50 in drive shaft bolts and need to find 4 more wheel lugs.


Needs
Some wheel spacers or new wheels don't know whats cheaper yet.

Plans are to wheel it asap, wait I already jumped it and tried to flex it (needs lockers bad).

$2200, smogged and $80 for vanity plates. I have been looking at trucks for 3 months and this is the first one I found that wasn't hacked or leaked live a sieve.

I should have $2500 in it with everything running and with 4wd. I tried to find something in the $1500 range but this truck has $1000 brand new lift kit and $500 in tires so I said screw it.

Ordainment - a. To invest with ministerial or priestly authority; confer holy orders on.
b. To authorize as a rabbi.
2. To order by virtue of superior authority; decree or enact.
3. To prearrange unalterably; predestine: by fate ordained. See Synonyms at dictate.

I think the word you're looking for is "ornament"
