ExTankerGuy's '87 Waggy
Thought I would throw this in here...

All stock...My Dad bought it new back in 87. When I got it, it had 315,000 miles on it!



3" lift with 31s...



After I added the lift, I got 4.56 gears, and ARB lockers front and rear.

Same lift with some trimming on 33s.



Then I went with 4.5" lift with 35s. AJs Bumpers, rails, and TNT customs bellypan.



Made my front doors removable and got another set of wheels. (got rid of my spacers)



Got an awesome deal on a front 44 so I upgraded tires and wheels after the front axle swap

Re: ExTankerGuy's '87 Waggy
I have one of these, the 87 Ltd Ed, it is my DD, 291,000 miles. Nearly bought a second one on Craigs list in Houston last month, looked great on the outside and been detailed, but guy wanted $2300....

Shame what happened there.

Re: ExTankerGuy's '87 Waggy
My condolences, JR, I know you put a ton of work in it, and when you have one for that long it's almost like a member of the family.

Now that you're back in Indiana and Close to Redbird, you need to make that thing a little uglier!
