So this is Erins new DD. She has been talking about getting something small to drive to the shop for a few months. I told her I would get my old pickup cleaned up and running for her, but the motor build hit a snag and I havent gotten to it yet. So this little truck popped up and the price was right. Since roundup got postponed we hoofed it over to Boone, NC to pick it up from @pawwright before he kicked it north to Maine.
I'll get mor pics later, but here is what we are starting with.
1990 regular cab 4wd, v6 5spd. I know all the hoopla about the v6, but I'm not scared of them. I've built 2 and they are good motors if you just take care of them. And this little thing runs like a top, we drove it all the way back from Boone and it never missed a beat.
So first thing we did at our pit stop in Knoxville was replace the wipers and clean all the windows good.
Got it home this afternoon and we are slowly putting together a plan. It needs new taillight housings and headlights, so those will get ordered tonight. It has a set of WARN hubs up front that work fine, but they will be swapped for a set of Aisin hubs soon enough. I've got a set of 90s SR5 wheels and a nearly new set of 31x10.50R15 bfg KOs to wrap them with.
I ordered a set of ball joint spacers from 4crawler before we left for NC and I'm going to add a ZUK coil out back to level it out. Then a set of new shocks all around.
I'm trying to make sure I let Erin drive the boat on this since it's her truck, but one thing we have agreed on is that we will be building a flatbed for it, but that will come after all the PM and misc stuff is squared away.
More to follow. And yes @TeddyBoy It's another Jynx production, brought to you by @Mrsjynx
