(I'm having a rough time uploading pics, so sorry, no visual stimuli for now.)
The '90 troop has been literally or figuratively on jackstands since October, and I just don't have the time to invest in it any longer.
We looked at a lot of vehicles to replace it, and after a brief foray into the land of Volvo wagons, I brought our buying attention squarely back to the land of Zu.
On Saturday we picked up a 2002 Trooper S. With a slight lift thanks to OME springs, 285cm Revo's, rocker bars to help the short GF climb aboard, and only 34k on the clock, I couldn't be happier. Thanks to Charles in DC for offering a smoking deal.
What, you might ask, is my favorite feature of the new truck? Without a doubt, my favorite feature of my new truck is the scratches that Charles already put on it. Now I don't have to feel bad and/or take heat when I put scratches on it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.
So now the questions begs: what to do with the old trooper? It's a 90 2.8. It's got about 200k on the odomometer. The motor is pretty well shot and it isn't running. Starter has been pulled and is not installed. All signs point to a good tranny. Paint is peeling a bit, but the body is in good shape. NO rust due to a west coast life and a liberal coating of used engine oil on the undercarriage. Tires are 99% gone.
This thing is begging for a 3.4 upgrade from someone. I guess I'll post it on Craigs List and see if anyone is interested.
*****Sorry, didn't mean this to be a for sale post, looking for advice on what to do with it, not buyers.*****
So what thinks the collective? Should I bother trying to sell it? How much is a motorless trooper going to be worth? Or should I just donate it and take the tax deduction?
I really don't have time to mess with it much. I've got a house and a new truck and both are in need of mods. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
