The 89 is going up the road.... :( - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

RSWORDS · 04-18-2011, 03:45 PM

I'm gonna miss her, I took that truck from a bone stock 160hp VE pumped POS and turned it into a respectable 450HP fuel burning, tire smoking, nitrous eating, sled pulling beast.... All with just enough knowlegde to reserch info, make desisions on what to do next and haveing the balls to grab a beer, hammer, screwdriver, grinder and a blindfold and dive in...

But as we get older and take on more responsibilites things like having to rebuild a transmission because you broke a $1,200 billet output shaft (again) take a back seat to house and family. So up the road she goes, I'll miss you old girl.... :sadnow:

But wait... Thats right there is always a but wait....

Meet my new 92 Club Cab Cummins W250

This truck belongs to a good friend of mine I traded him the 89 and some cash for it. So the plus side is I will still be able to work on my 89 and help him to finish its build. While having a NICE 1st gen that is mildly built and good for crusing around with out breaking stuff left and right. Truck has 38's on it in the pic, It has 35" Nitto's right now.

Gotta love the look of the 1st gen.

Yep, I just hope the 06 does not get jealous... I dont see it getting driven much for the next month.

I am jealous... Nice truck.

Nice looking '92, hell if I could find a nice shape 1st gen I'd get rid of my '01 for it, but they are getting harder and harder to find

I would love to have the '93 club cab my dad bought new in '94, same gray as that one, just more old man'd up, it would still have less than 100k on it for all the miles he puts on his trucks.

Oh they're out there, but for what youd pay for it you could buy another 01 and still have some money left.
