This is the first truck I owned. It's an '82 with a '84 front bumper & headlight bezels. I ordered it new. As it sits in the picture is how the current owner has modified it. When I owned the truck, I had a Warn 8274 winch on a Warn bumper. He added the sunvisor & headlight covers. The tires are 38" Gumbo Monster Mudders.

Nice one!
The previous owners of our car are building a new one now with HUGE tires, they need a ladder to get into their car..
they also got an old volvo 240 with huge tires, the hood is on about the same height as my eyes, and I'm 2 meters tall. I'm looking forward to see their thing in action in a couple of weeks
As for our thingy, a friend donated us a volvo b23 engine with automatic gearbox, so we're gonna try to squeeze that in somehow... Also we have the cutest clutch ever, A lot of furry stuff fell out when we dismounted it It's funny. We've been driving about 2-3 hours so far, and been wrenching well over 10 hours I think.....

Had some fun with our 600$ truck last weekend, we'll need some bigger tires I think and a winch wouldn't be a bad idea also.

Yea, a winch is definitely a good thing to have if you drive with just one car most of the time.. We found a nice one for around $150, but can't afford that at this moment, need to save cash for other stuff
But I'm gonna sell some stuff from the PC junkyard that I have here in my bedroom, then I'll have money again

I found that when I had that truck, I spent more time winching other people than myself. Not saying I was a better driver, just that people were calling to say they were buried *

Not having a winch is the reason we have this very furry clutch in a sigarette box now
