stats: 1986 (kickass 4x4 of the year plaque on the dash) 2.3, 5 spd, 185k. runs great, really loud, ugly and dirty. my style :flipoff2:

plans include:

finish paying for it (halfway there)
preventative maintenence of course
polish all the turds I can to keep the IFS alive and semi-functional (manual hubs, smurf the cv birfs, bj flip, cross-linked air shocks, tie rod shields)
chevy rear springs kept SUA
relocate rear shocks
weld the rearend
lots of trimming
homemade bumpers and sliders
33's on 15x8's
oh yeah, and a one piece rear shaft

more pics as the project progresses

Sounds pretty cool, glad you finally got a troop noticed you have been looking for awhile. $500 bucks thats frickin awesome looks like its in really good shape for that price. I have a whole IFS front end laying in the shop let me know if you need anything. Good luck with that project. Btw those 4x4 of the year plaques are sweeet :flipoff2:
