Current plans are to strip the Interior, Rhino line the tub, install Beard seats, full roll cage, lose the stereo, and digital dash, install Autometer gauges and simpler stereo, Fiberglass hood and fenders, pre-run style bumpers ans 4.56 gears with an ARB in front and a Lock-right in the back. As it is now It is too show, and I am tired of the show scene. I figure with a hose out interior and less weight, I'll be set-up perfectly for the ansd dunes at Silver Lake (MI), and I am planning to move to So Cal in a year or so, this way I should be ready for some desert fire roads ;D If anyone is interested in anything I'm taking off (Interior pieces, Digital Gauges, hood, fenders?, doors?, bumpers, stock roll bar, E-mail me. Murfman
Ok, I would say that would qualify as a "custom" truck ;D Very nice.....

Randall
how much do you want for the old roll bar?
The Project is on the back burner right now, I am Building a Wrangler (Side Job) that is taking all my time, and Have to finish my 83/93 Crewcab duallie. I hope to start tearing my Ramcharger apart in October. I will have to work on prices, E-mail me with offers. I guarantee everything to be perfect (Except the hood, It has some chips in the paint, and a spot the size of a dime were the Filler Lifted) Murfman
Oooh!! Oooh!! Front bumper, front bumper!! Me Me!!

Whoops, sounded a little too excited there. Umm...how much for the front bumper? ;D

Randall
I know I will kick myself later, but I really need to sell this truck, I am willing to pay a finders fee, and will consider all offers, My loss will be someones gain, as you can see it was not built for profit, as I have over 25,000.00 invested. I am hoping to get 12,000.00 for it, but call or e-mail me and lets talk. Murfman
sorry you gotta do that dude.poster' in the classifieds here at rcc.and yes you will be a kickin' laters.
I posted it there a while ago, and now I cant post anything there. Murfman
