Missing passenger door glass, fuel tank, cracked w/s, no fluids but has the most perfect cab and front clip I've ever seen these days of this body style. And of course, has an NP205 transfer case, dana 60 front axle and the 6.2 diesel engine. Have to think on what to do with this one. Thought I'd share.

Well, the way I see it it's damn near perfect for a recovery vehicle for stuck buddies - just throw some bigger and more aggressive tires (don't even lift it, leave it as is) and maybe re-gear for more pulling power.
