Back in 2004 I was delivering pizza one night when I saw this sitting in a guys driveway......it had flat tires and very expired stickers.....it wasnt for sale but that changed when I whipped out $1700\

I hate all these first gen runners that keep poppin up outta nowhere on here. Not because I hate the truck, but because I want one so incredibly bad.

What kinda condition was it in when ya picked it up? For $1700 if it was in decent condition sounds like a steal!

Well it was uninspected,bone stock,a little rusty,and the motor had what i thought was timing chain noise but turned out to be a failing bearing on the crank

Thanx to my sliders,the body was mostly spared....the front fender took it the hardest and was torn off its bolts down by the rocker.....and the mirror(ive been thru a dozen or more!)was smashed

.......climbing out of your drivers door like its a submarine hatch....priceless

Another good one I wish I had a picture of was getting it stuck sticking straight up in the air...front tires 8 feet in the air,rear tires buried in the waterfall,balanced on the pintle hook.....and the fluid drained out of the TC...leaving me in perpetual neutral.....jeepjunkie and dirtyxj were there....hilarious
