newest addition to the stable

Picked up this bad boy for $450, only one dent on the entire thing, very hard to notice it till you're about 6 inches from it. Had to fix a starting problem and put in some new wheel bearings. This will take care of my camping/skiing needs for a fre years hopefully. And I'll be sure to take some pics of it when I go out mudding

You got a really good price. My neighbor just sold one very similar to yours for around 1500.

it was, but by this next weekend I'll have that much put into it as well. I stripped the interior on saturday and found many places where it's rusted through the floor pan, and that friggin wheel bearing assembly was $170

I did I don't really care to much about it, I've been taking it up 4-wheeler trails as far as I can, turning around in heavy brush is fun
