I purchased this vehicle in March 2005 from Meyer’s Auto in Harrisonburg, VA and brought it back to Mississippi. My desire was to make it an expedition type vehicle, wanting to eventually take an extended trip to Mexico and able to do some moderate off road use. It currently is a DD and has managed to take a couple of interesting trips.
The truck was a stock 1994 with factory lockers and about 120K on it when purchased. In the time since then, I have made a good number of modifications. The vehicle has been armored with an ARB front bumper, 4X4 Labs modular rear bumper (first one made), Slee step Sliders, Slee transfer case and AC dryer skid plates.
The vehicle has OEM CDL and hand throttle from Slee. Stainless extended brake lines, ceramic brake pads and DBA rotors have been added. I use Mobil1 5W-40 oil and mostly synthetic fluids. I have changed all of the usual hoses including the PHH, belts and typical things have been replaced. The starter has been CDan’d. The problem with the windshield wiper diverter has been corrected and the antenna has been replaced.
The wheels shown in these pictures are Toyota steel ones with Interco TrXus 285/75/16 tires. These tires have been pretty impressive, getting OK wear and surprisingly quite on the road. I have a set of wheels with the standard Michelin 275’s.
