Yay, just joined so I can finally share in the fun.
First day I got it. $900 at my dad's Volvo dealership got me an '89 godawful ugly Limited
So I test drove it, which lead to the purchase, next step was a 3" EZ ride cheapy lift at Les Schwab with some 31" radial A/T. Was never happy with the tires from day one, way to tame looking, and the lift is what it is. I want more, but the 3" at least makes it drivable and pretty badass looking
So, I drove it for a week, threw on a rod on what I thought was going to be a sweetheart of an engine. So, it sat for six months while we pulled the engine out and picked up a '95 block and all the fixins for a 4.6L
Next up, I had to get rid of all the nasty gold moldings and such, plus I picked up a rack. I'm way happier with it just straight white.
Recently, I've pulled the flares, but not quite got around to doing any trimming. I'm not quite sure of my abilities there. We also fabbed up some KC's to the roofrack, and I just put on some 31x10.5 BFG KM2's, which are AWESOME.
So, what would be any suggestions as to the next things I should do?? I'm walking the line between trail rig and daily driver. So, I'll realistically probably never do any extreme rock crawling, but I'd like to be able to tackle some tougher stuff. I know I need to drop the D35 and score a 44 at some point, and I definitely want new front and rear bumpers so I can get some recovery points going and a winch, but it all costs SO MUCH MONEY, damn.
