[QUOTE=Spike555;237651]HELL YEAH!!!

Talked to my wife after I got home, she rolled her eyes and said I was hopeless.


I think we have the same wife.........LOL

 

It won't, unless it's been converted. No Disco's were imported with manual windows.

And I'm serious about the bumper/winch trade.

 

I will keep that in mind Tom.
I have 6 crip...err, I mean crisp $100 bills in my wallet waiting for a ride tomorrow.

 

Good luck.

 

The title and keys are in my possession!!
She will be coming home tomorrow after church.

Thank God for my loving and understanding wife.
The truck was at a small auto shop, of course he's closed today. So I called my wife and had her Google the shops name and get me the phone number, M-F 8-5.
No way in hell I can get over there during the week, its 50 miles from home.
So I go over to the house where the truck had sat for a year and talked to the original owner and got tons of info on the truck.
He gives me the guys name, I call my wife back and have her look him up in the WhitePages and give me his address.
I drive over to his house, knock on his door and ask him if he wants to sell the truck.
He's not sure, his wife comes to the door and asks whats going on.
I pull out the 6 $100 bills and she says yes, sell it.
I stopped back over to his shop later after I finished the route and he was charging the battery and putting the spare tire on and putting air in it.
I signed the title and got the key and the remote.
Now here is the info I got on the truck, and even though the guy got the truck for free I was more than willing to fork over the $600.

Engine was rebuilt 4 years ago because of a overheating problem, turns out it was the radiator, so thats newer too.
The guy used to take the grandkids to Silver Lake Sand Dunes and run circles around Jeeps with it.
Anyway he GAVE THE TRUCK for free to the guy I bought it from, friend of the family who wanted a project.
I am kicking myself for not stopping and asking about the truck last fall when it was still under the pine tree.
It has ARB HD springs, ARB winch bumper, roughly 60k on the rebuilt engine and a 4 year old radiator.
New battery too, its a cheap battery, but its new.

 

congrats im tired of seeing your stock disco!

 

I'm thinking the bumper swap happens next Sun, maybe sooner.
Or course I will post pics of the work as I go.

 

Where is the jealous button? Good job, and good luck with your new toy!

 

what shape is the bumper in? i just popped the lights out of my ARB and spent about 30 mins with the grinder getting rid of rust spots. got another half hour ahead of me before i can get it ready for paint. just wondering if it will have rust in the same spots as mine does. mainly around the lights and on the inside at the curves.

 

I do not know where the rust is yet, I will after I get it home tomorrow, unless we get the huge thunder storm we are scheduled for.
And I forgot to add, its a 7 pass so I am thinking of adding the jump seats to mine, not sure yet though.
