So after installing the 4.3 in my other 3rd gen I realized I had pushed the Power to ignorant throttle jockey ratio too far. I decided to pick up a lighter and less HP rig to play with until I grow a brain (not happening) or buy bigger parts for the other.

Picked up this beauty from Choppy. He said his Grandma drove it to Church on Sundays. :redneck:

So since it already has a 22re, duals, longs, 5.29's, locked F&R, winch, RUF and 63" all it really needed was some trimming to fit bigger tires and a bit of tube work.

I showed up at Casey's after work Fri and we went to work. LilYota cut out the rear fenders since it will never see 36's again and Jaws set to Comp cutting my 38x15.5 Boggers. We went along checking fluids and hardware just to be safe.

Next, I really hated how you could see the molded inner fender on the front so Jaws Bent up a bar for the bottom radius and we sheeted behind it to cover the wheel wheel.

Then, since I kill doors like $.99 Chinese food kills cats. We pulled the doors and made some bars to hold my silly ass in. We ran out of steam before we sheeted them but I like how they turned out.

Lights out in the shop at 12:15AM Sat then loaded up for a Busywild run! :awesomework:

Still not sure what the whole plan is for it yet but I do know I really liked how it performed on the Busy.

Still on the list for sure:
1. Beadlocks (have a set from Dave to weld on)
2. Add 8274 winch (Smittybuilt's cant swim) (see pic)
3. Get bucket seats and harnesses
4. Sheet door openings.
5. Flog the fawk outta it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:spankme:

6. A headlight if I get time.....
