Howdy Dudes, bought my first TLC yesterday and wanted to stop in to show it off. Thanks to everyone in this forum, the info I learned here helped in my decision making.
She's a 1999, purchased her with 112k miles, and with the full service (timing belt, water pump, etc.) just complete. I searched for more than a month for the right cruiser, and ended up taking this beaut from a nice lady in central Florida. Flew down to Tampa, bought it, and drove her back to ATL.

Got home in time to load the fam for a short ride. After work today, spent the few hours removing the dealership installed brush guards. I also removed the running boards...man, what a difference. Interior is in great shape considering the age.

I'm hoping to add a lift and a new set of tires in the coming week or two.The truck does feel top heavy, so I believe she's due for a coils/springs/lift upgrade. From there, perhaps sliders. Will take me a while to muster up all the cash, but I'm looking forward to building a rig I can take to the woods on a hunt, camping, or to the beach for a family vacation.
