Hello, I've been cruising through the threads and asking questions. Great group of helpful folks here and I already appreciate all the positive vibes!
I inherited this truck from my father-in-law late last year. It's very similar to my 1989 that I bought brand new a few vehicles back. His son and I were sent out to find him a truck in 1997...he didn't even want to see it. He said if it was good enough for us it was good enough for him. He drove it up until last year...now it's mine!
I've been getting the mechanicals up to speed...tune-up, starter, alternator, AC, steering (Red Head gear box & Cunningham steering shaft), LED lighting, etc. As soon as I sell my 2006 Jeep LJ I'll start gutting the interior, installing new 2014 bucket seats & center console, overhead console, carpet, headliner, stereo...basically the works. Then I'll start working on the dents and dings and setting it up for a repaint.
The goal is to make it a somewhat modernized daily driver. Not a lowered truck...but a solid, comfortable, good looking ride. I'll start posting things here as I work through them...hopefully it's helpful for others. I already love driving this thing around even with the imperfections.
Can't wait to share the progress with the group!
