    Has no front or rear bumpers and he has 15s on it. No headlights or grill either.

    I'm going Wednesday.

    Yikes, no $1k then. He bought it a year and a half ago with hopes to rebuild the engine and it had savage bumpers. He said he still has the bumpers, just removed them for sale

    I wouldn't do him dirty. And I'd help install it.

    People pay all kinds of money for complete set ups

    Shot him an email. Mostly seeing if he had the rear bumper and would consider selling it. Almost bought the bumpers from the previous owner before the current owner bought the whole think.

    Just looked through old Facebook messages, here it is in its previous state

    Haha, I believe you. That'd be a good deal for Matt for sure. I'd like to get the experience wrenching on axles too. Why'd I have to move?

    Hmmm interesting to see it in its previous state.


    Ya it's not too bad I swapped my rear third 3 times and I've done the front twice. Couldn't make up my mind, but I'm happy with 4.88s and arbs front and rear.

    Planned on going 35s?
    As far as swapping, I wouldn't even know where to start. Most of the work I've done besides routine maintenance is bolt ons
    Seeing it in its former state shows how much it's missing. Are you planned on parting it out?

    Ya I would just part it out and keep a few goodies for myself.

    We could do the swap in a day, it's pretty simple.

    Ya fer sure pm me your number and I'll hit you up.

    Just found this thread and am so stoked to see other T4R peeps on here! I always feel like I'm the only one at most of the SE meetups I've been to...

    Just spent so much time lurking on Singtoe's V8 conversion. His third gen is awesome.

    That's good. I haven't checked out their Colorado section, working weekends ruins most trail runs for me
