well i just bought myself a new toy for this winter. a 1990 4x4 s-10 v-6 5-speed pick up. its got 105000 miles on it. paid 400 bucks for it

The good:
-new clutch at 90,000
-comes with 4 inch body lift in the box
-comes with a set of long tube header
-comes with new interior and sunroof
-new front bumper grill hood and fenders
- and a few extra parts
-already has a cd/mp3 player in it

The bad:
-needs the transfer case replaced (found a used on for 100 bucks ) still drivable but it likes to skip.
-the cab has some cancer at the bottom of the doors but it can be fixed
-has no taillights but has the wiring for them
-no AC ( never would have used it any way)

i think it was a pretty good find for 400 bucks after everything i will have a nice truck for the snow and mud for around 600

here is a pic lol

It wont do that bad, might need some weight in the rear unless thats a steel flatbed.
I seen a 96ish ford Taurus with no doors tearing up the MUD at a local mudblast event.. Everyone was surprised how much the car was going through without getting stuck.... it ended up getting run over at the end of the day though.

Not bad for $400... Not a whole lot to complain about other than that ridiculous 4" body lift. Leave that sitting in it's box icon_smile.gif

I demand air-time pictures.
