I have been a 40 guy forever. I am not looking to get out of those but might have the option to buy an 80 series form a customer. Specs:
1997 Collectors Edition
triple locked--not working
OME suspension lift
green w/tan leather - decent shape for age
275k on the ticker
stock wheels w/285's
TJM front bumper with some rust on bumper
Body fairly clean
frame clean
no signs of off-roading
Fluid leaks on engine, oil, antifreeze
knuckles need rebuilt
seems to run ok but puffs smoke on start up and has a heavy emission smell
Just passed VA state inspection after I did some work to it
I am not going to include price but very fair for the market...
this may or not be the 80 to buy, and no I do not know what I would do with it but daily drive or in rotation with my other 40's. I am not planning to off-road it. May take it camping etc I am not into the word Overlanding.
From everything I know this is one of "the" years to have and may be the year to have. Evil spirits tell me to drop in my spare GM 6.0 ls engine and 4l80 combo into it and have a fun driver!
I am open to any and all thoughts, fire away!
Thanks,
Rob
