Ok, shes going under the knife for real tomorrow. Spent the better part of this afternoon/tonight getting the front off of her. Got a pretty big (heavy) pile of trashed parts already, and i havent even taken off the hood. Going to paint everything that needs to be painted tomorrow, and then get the hood off and start fixing the rad. core support.

Ill tell you one thing...she looks really cool without a front bumper. The approach angle is soo much better. Im starting to get real ideas/plans in my head for the custom bumper. I think im gonna like the looks of her much better when im done.


This is how far i got with a casual hour of tinkering. Im thinking of sawzalling the two fangs off that are hanging in front of the tire for better approach angle. It might look a little goofy if i dont. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" /> And oh yeah...i thought all you poor northern/salt belt guys would enjoy oogling over my factory inspection marks on the frame... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just realized how long ive been driving around with a jacked up truck...me and my girlfriend broke up (maybe she got scared off by my driving?), so now i have all this time and money to spend on myself and the trooper...its great!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
