Bumper/radiator look kinda funky.

Pretty sure that's the tire size.

Body Damage is Cool
The bumper looks wrecked, doesn't it? and lowered? That one panel looks trimmed above the bumper too. Well, good to see that. I know my 2WD S-10 frame will be able to be adapted under it. I just hope steering/motor mount/motor location/firewall will all cooperate together. Haven't delved into it yet.

I meant why would such a honkin's rig that was built "mainly for fun" only have 31s on it...

Hack job. Take a look at the console about a foot higher than the stocker. Wonder what's under there...


Not responsible for advice not taken...
