I have a buddy @Dumpolina that let me drive his crawler one time and it got me inspired to build my “Climbintime”!
He has a friend that’s into the hard core rock crawlin scene in NM that he suggested I speak with about ideas and solutions, maybe parts.

So I contacted “Mike” and sent him a picture of my 83’and he said he built a truck like mine a while back and may have owned my truck at one time. It sat for years so who knows?

Today I get a text that says “I found your truck” with this picture!

It’s very cool to learn more about the history of this charming little pickup!

It’s been on the back burner for a while now, i hiked NM CDT, I rebuilt one of the transfer cases, need to rebuild the other one and install the dual adapter. Waiting for back order Marlin crawler to send me one more built diff. With Yukon locker and 5.29 Gears, I got the front hi pinion allready. I’m working on our 80 for SAS9 right now. Always something with this group of rigs!
