PRINCESS?!?

Watching intently. Back in the day this was one of the primary trucks that shaped the direction for moonshine.

If it is the Princess, what a dramatic change.... It reminds me of pictures of people before and after being addicted to meth. It was a beauty when @davegonz owned it

 

[davegonz]

Holy crap! What the hell happened?

 

[davegonz]

Kelly, that truck probably has had 3 to 4 different paint jobs over her lifetime. Glad you're going down to bare metal.

Three total paint jobs: the original "Tempered Gray", then 012 Super White, then Conniston Green. The 012 paint job was a cheapo (~$600) done by an airplane shop in AZ, I couldn't afford anything else at the time!

Good to see the old girl getting some love, lots of memories. Her original license plate is still on the wall of my garage.

You built such a venerable land cruiser that was so formative to the mud community.

It was difficult to see her in her current condition. But some therapy from Georg, Kelly and others should bring her back.

Looking forward to seeing it, especially here in Texas!

What color is it going to be?

@kelly saad You do realize you're working on Mud royalty there, right? Lol.

 

[davegonz]

Can't believe this sticker is still there. Must be 12-13 years old!

Did you install the toybox? I read that you sold her because of problems with the H55. I think the H55 “should“ be fine behind the 4bt with 400ish foot-pounds of torque. At least I hope so.

 

[davegonz]

No, Henry installed the box. I did have issues with some fluid coming up through the shifter hole.

 

[davegonz]

My 4BT80 that I sold had 700r4 issues. Gets expensive fixing trannies. I couldn't afford to put in an NV4500 at the time.

I'veseen this rig before i think a guy I'm following on Instagram had it for a while then sold it he was having major problems with it

 

[davegonz]

Here is a link to a page I made when I sold her. Good pics of her in my driveway.
