My uncle passed last year and my Aunt finally let go of his truck for the past 22 years. He had done an upper end overhaul at 200K miles, new clutch, brakes, the works. Then they used it to drive to home depot every weekend for supplies as they remodel their house. Now it has 216K miles. The body is banged up, interior is trashed. Some light surface rust. Questions to the group; What first? Suspension or interior? How much is too much lift? I live in AZ and will be following my buddies in there jeeps and taking it to the beach in Mexico.
dude, that thing is sweet, unfortunately i dont know much about raising suspension and stuff. im sure someone here can help, if not pirate4x4, marlincrawler, and yotatech have some good writeups on offroad stuff
Even with those miles on the clock, that's a great truck! I always recommend restoring the ride quality which starts in the suspension followed by drivetrain reliability. You get those right, the rest almost doesn't even matter unless you're a die hard enthusiast. Welcome, hope to see more posts of this rig!
