before the new tires

get it fixed yet colin?

indeed, pray tell amigos.

in my experience, running boards are easy to unbolt if you let the nuts/bolt soak in some PB blaster for a few days. and if someone hasn't gone and welded them on for some odd reason. expect to spend about 45 minutes under the truck and 5 bucks on a can of PB (or liquid wrench or what ever you...

for what gen? we have a green one for a 2gen. has a window motor but no tracks

yeah that's what i was thinking too. probably doesnt help that iv'e added my own fair share of grit. and i drive hard. hyaa fo' runna! :whip2: :rofl: but i don't drive hard not expecting something to break. part of the game ya know. on a lighter note, i got my new tires mounted today...

yeah, then you can fix the saggy butt and leaky valve covers! :rofl:

the OP is my room mate, i weld. let's hear it. we found a first gen with a solid axle at a local junkyard so could we rob all the SAS sh** off of that?

1300 is a damn good deal for one that has been sas'd etc depending on the condition of it and how much the previous owner dogged it. that's the problem with buying a modified vehicle. it was modified for a reason and is now being sold for a reason.
