My new rig

[SFROMAN]

I took the oppurtunity of the long weekend to drive to San Antonio to pick up this


I saw the guys add on MUD so I went for it. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Here im parked outside Advance Auto picking up an adapter for my hitch


Im pretty excited about the purchase. Let me know what you guys think.
I will get better pics later.

That is the number one reason I went all the way out there to pick one up. I am originaly from Texas but I am stationed out here in North Carolina. Needless to say that everyhting that I look at out here had some rust on it.

I will post up the specs in a few

pretty excited

Very sweet looking 40. Had a 75 that looked just about the same. I miss that cruiser, shouldn't have sold it
Can't wait to see many more pictures! What did you pay for it?

Looks great and that 350 should come in handy in Uwharrie.

Did you get a look behind the diamond plate on the rear quarters? I'm always worried that someone just covered rust with those.

 

[SFROMAN]

Thanks for the kind words.
I dropped the 40 off at the a 4x4 shop today to get what I think is a tranny problem. I havent had a chance to enjoy the cruiser since I bought it. Hell I havent even registered it yet. Once it gets fixed I will definitly take it out to URE.
As for the panels in the rear, The cruiser is orginaly from cali and spent some time in texas. If it was from the east coast then I would be worried.
Come to think of it, I would not have even bothered buying it since most older vehicles are pretty rusted out.
