brought home a new toy!!

Dealer sold it and it threw the timing chain(at least I think) down he road. sat at our shop for months due to too much money in it to fix and make profit so I worked a sweet deal! Have been wanting a 2 door hoe for a while!! It's a 4x4 but that will change

Hot dang, that's only a block from me (I see AT&T and the lock shop in the background)!
Are you just going to disconnect and plug the CV axles or do a complete swap?

Re: brought home a new toy!!

And it's got the tailgate, instead of the barn doors...nice. Is it a stripper inside? Ex-fleet truck?
