6. How the truck is used: weekend sand bashing and mountain trails
Hi all. Been lurking for awhile, just been waiting to contribute meaningfully before I joined up. I got my 93 LC a year ago, stock as can be. It's undergone some changes since then and I am troubleshooting a little gremlin I'll post about later, but I see how some people on here are about posting an intro first... (Seems to be a pre-req, based on some of the responses to other noobs). Anyway, here she is when I bought her on day 1 - about a year ago, with 190K - no lockers.
1. Year and model: 1997 "Collector's Edition"
2. Name of owner: Sanjay
3. Name of rig: Canyonero
4. Mileage: 62,900
5. Mods...if any: none yet
6. How the truck is used: second car, maybe daily driver once fixed up
7. Photo:
Just picked this up. It's going to need a bit of work there's a fair bit of rust on the underside to eliminate and persistent squeaks and a gas smell. But with the help of this forum and some friends I think that I'll be able to get it back to tip top shape.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you buy this for? I feel like you forgot a digit before you typed the rest of the mileage, haha. Great looking rig though, and welcome to mud and the addiction!
$7,500. It has a re-build title due to theft and the aforementioned issues. So I think it was fair/I probably overpaid a bit. This is going to take several weekends on a lift to clear up the rust, replace the bad bolts, and clean it up with POR-15.
I'm debating keeping the 90's-tastic decals on the side.

Seems like quite a project. You gonna do it yourself? I myself wouldn't do it, I have pretty much no experience with welding and cutting and all that. What decals?
It is. There's a lift at work I am hoping to be able to use. None of the rust has destroyed the frame and I think a needle scaler and wire brush should be able to get most of this. Of course I've never done it, but I am from Buffalo originally and I know what rust will do.
The decals run the length of the car. they're in that photo, they probably look like a reflection right under the window. I've never seen them on another LC, so I wonder if they were aftermarket.

My friend had a Black 91 that he sold, and his had those decals so I'm thinking they're stock in some way...

This isn't my first cruiser - I had a 60 several years ago that's now in Mexico taking film crews through the jungle. It's in the shop now getting baselined and other than bumpers and a winch and some lights I don't think I'll ever mod it. No need.
WeekEnd ... Highway ...
