Pic of it the day i bought it. It was a one owner and had a nice life until it met me. Stock everything with 32x11.50 BFG A/T's, V6 5 speed, 4x4 and manual hubs.
Had to play around in stock form for a while.
Finally got new paint December of last year. Then a couple months later, some guy decides he'll just make a u turn right in front of me. So i was without my truck for 2 months.
But then it returned to me looking good with an 01-04 front bumper. Clutch also started slipping soon after i got it back.
So i put an exedy clutch in it.
Then i just drove it for awhile and eventually got a good deal in lift from Phil88
OME struts and 881 coils, and a 2'' RB body lift.
Drove it for about a month with the small tires. Then one night on my way home from work at about 2am i came around a sharp curve and it was raining. The back end came around and when i hit the ditch it just layed over on the side and busted out the windshield.
So this was some motivation to make it more of a wheelin rig. That week i knocked the top out and got it as straight as possible. Put a windshield in on Saturday and then on Monday went and got some 35x12.50 Maxxis Big Horns.
So i wheeled it in this form a few times and now im ready to upgrade. Bought some sliders last Friday and got them welded on yesterday.
Tomorrow 04 Rocko Taco and I will be removing the rear 3rd and taking it to Mossyrocks to get it welded. Which will work until i can afford regear/locker.

Well I bought this truck in Feb after a long search for an 85 ext cab.
The truck was in pretty awesome shape for being 25 years old. It had some goodies on it as well R151 tranny, Marlin 4.7's in a single 23spl case, AP TC skid, Marlin Rear bumper and a pretty fresh rebuild on the 22RE...
A few weeks ago I was out cleaning up some of my property after some storms knocked out a bunch of trees. While driving along a hill side in 4x4 i starting hearing a clicking sound but it quit once the terrain leveled back out. Driving on the road back to the house the clicking started up again...
