Man I'd love to find that for $800. Around here you're lucky to find an 80s model that's been beat to hell for that.

Alright I'm having two issues one minor one is the radio.
I got the truck with no radio. Bought the harness and head unit new. I hooked it all up and it didn't work. Check power and my yellw wire for memory has no power. Does anyone know what I could tap into to make it work? I'm no electrical guru and could use some help.

Next is he clutch. It's hard to go into gear. I have read that could be air bubbles in the line but what else could it be? Tia

Love the Jeep redone. However you messed up on the cummins, you should of done everything you did but 2things:left it a daully, and just do a solid paint color. Otherwise it looks good.

Do you buy cars/trucks for cheap then redo them & sell? Or just like doing projects and keep them till you need the money for the next project. If the latter, do you make a good profit?

Yea I love the two tone on the jeep, wasn't a fan on it on the cummins since it was high up two tone, the jeep was in the middle, and didn't like the green line on the side of it changing it.

Just my thoughts, I think two tone on trucks should be done at the body lines along the doors/beds/fenders.
