Thats it im going to have to have that thing confiscated and braught back to jersey (in my garage)

4x4Poet · 12-12-2004, 11:24 PM

Nice find. Looks like a great start, and, if you'll excuse my saying so, especially for the NorthEast.

Every find has PO issues. My Subs sure do/did. That black firewall and hood underside sure ruins the looks of the otherwise fine engine compartment. Not that it will matter once the trick's gone thru. Try not to curse the PO for it since he left you a truck in good shape.

As a fellow fleet owner,

you no doubt don't need my advice, but I'd like to run one by you to see what you think. If you're not going to be restoring the truck soon, consider cleaning and hand wire brushing that bed and then spraying on zinc phosphate to soak for an hour while kept wet. Then gently rinse away and see how much of the bed rust converts. It might prevent further rust till you can blast it.

I can't wait to graduate and get a house so I can have a "Fleet"

Great looking truck and great trade. You definitely came out ahead. Who ever you traded with doesn't have a roof over his 4x4 now. I wouldn't trade my Blazer for a Ferrari much less a quadrunner. Just what do you tell your wife everytime you get another one. I told my girlfriend I need a 1972 swb fleetside to drive everyday since my 2000 F*&D Powersmoke 4dr crewcab 4x4 beats me to death. She looked at me like I was crazy and i haven't even married her yet. How do you do it?!!!!

Yup, LUV2XCLR8 has finally avoided the caps lock, but he can't let go of the shift key!

All or none, buddy, all or none.

I don't understand how you could capitalize the first letter of every single word, it just doesn't make sense to me...but I see it alot on the intarnet so it must be a quasi-common thing. and then again, i go out of my way to use punctuation...lol

Just A Playful Jab At Ya, Luv :p actually, your typing has a friendly glow, I bet you are a nice guy.

ACTUALLY IT'S JOSH'S PROGRAM, SOMETIMES I CAN TYPE THE WHOLE
MESSAGE IN CAPS AND WHEN I HIT SUBMIT IT CHANGES THE FORMAT
SO THAT THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY WORD IS CAPS

I'VE TRIED
TO GET BETTER AT NOT USING THE CAP THING, HOWEVER IN THIS REPLY
IT'S ALL CAPS JUST TO SEE WHAT THE PROGRAM DOES TO THIS ONE.

Got the bed painted last night.
Used the same paint as I did on the burb. One step wonder paint, we'll see how it holds up in real world applications.
