Think I'm going to call her Jenny, as this song came out right before she was built. Heard the song on the Radio as I was leaving Dallas her on my way home to Colorado.
Yeah, with the pesky Deer we have around here, good to have that ARB bumper up front. Before I laid hands on the rear bumper, just looking at pictures I was thinking that thing has to go. But it's actually very well built, and looks better in real life. Was told someone local to DFW area made...
Here's the bad;
Original bumpers, along with the factory center console are long gone.
Owner is moving, and he thinks 40-years of maintenance records and receipts were inadvertently shredded.

Purchased on eBay motors...
