I guess this means I'll have to actually become a full-fledged T-shirt-wearing member... now that I've got a 4x4. Picked up this little gem today. The seller tells me it spent most of its life in Arizona, and I would believe it based on the little amount of rust. It's a blank slate...

All options are open at this point. Initial plans are to just start wheeling it as is and upgrade gradually. Something that does need to be addressed right away is the wobble at 40-50mph. Below and above those speeds it is nice and smooth.

Must be nice to be able to start with a clean rust free rig!

Glad to see there is a second one around now........
let me know if you need any help, haven't dug too far into my build yet, but I have done a ton of research and parts gathering.
