Hover over the image for navigation controls to appear. The month's winner is Kyle and this is his 1985 grocery getter. He got this rig because his wife was tired of wheeling their daily driver and told him to buy something cheap to wheel. He picked it up for $900 in Sonora, Ca - it came with all kinds of problems including a blown head gasket. Over the last 3 years Kyle has thrown about $3000 in parts at it, and it’s pretty much done. He notes that his best modification so far has been a Marlin Crawler billet 10 degree rotated dual transfer case adapter. He believes that without Marlin’s parts he’d never have gotten this project off the ground.
