    Hello all, merry christmas!

    I purchased a 99 extended cab 4x4 with the 3.4 and 5 speed, on the 23rd. Bought at a Cadillac dealer in Charleston SC and drove 5 hours back to Atl. I'm not really a new member, joined long ago when I was previously on the market and ended up getting a 2wd 4runner. Then got an 85 2wd pickup with a 4 speed (just crossed 240k) for $350 and sold the 4runner. It was my dd for the past year and half or so, and now have gotten this.

    The truck is a little ugly and rough, but mechanically pretty sound, and has been my dream vehicle since I was in middle school haha. Also got a really good deal right before they were going to wholesale it. It just needs some love.

    Plans for now are to fix a couple quirks, replace the cracked tail light, and then OME 881s in front and wheelers 1.5 leaf pack in rear, along with new tires. A trail gear front bumper should also be in the mix. Right now I do construction/carpentry stuff but am moving to Iowa for Americorps (a national service organization) at the beginning of February, so have about 6 weeks to get all this done. Am selling the 85 along with my FJ40 project to finance.

    Thanks all and sorry for the long intro. Am looking forward to owning this truck for the rest of its life and joining the community here. Happy holidays!
