2000 125k miles. Bought from a guy for 200 bucks, radiator nipple broken off, thermostat clogged, head gaskets blown, dropped sleeve. Drained coolant out, screwed an 1/16" fitting into where the nipple was in the radiator, bypassed the thermostat, Filled with water and blue devil. (holding for now) Bought biggest front springs OME makes used off ebay for 90 bucks shipped. Used a set of 3" ford leaf spring lift blocks in the back. Lifted the body 2" with 20 something hockey pucks and 3/8 bolts. Free 31" tires. (bald and square)

With the spring lift







With spring and body.

By far the most expensive thing on this truck @ 600 bucks.

Lift: 90$
Body lift: 90$
Blue devil: x2 80$
Elbow, thermostat and housing 100$

What I wouldn't do to get a chance to destroy that off road.

Nice find.

 

cool.
you forgot $100 for a fill up at the backdrop

plan to run it with this motor till it dies?

 

It looks evil. Have fun. Post pics after the off road adventure.

 

Very Nice!

Can't beat the approach angle you get from the front bumper delete mod!

Lift blocks and hockey pucks....very interesting.

 

Plan is to beat it till it explodes and build up twin turbo or mercedes diesel.

 

On a real note, I just bought 35's for a lot more than 600$.... where did you find those for 600, and what brand?

 

On 35's. They are Pegasus AT 315/75/16 159 each from my supplier.

 

Another one

 

it should be interesting to see if the engine or the axle shafts give out first
