Notes: I only paid $300 at an auction. The guy that had it before me put a header, 2 1/2 in. exhaust, alternator, and a lot of other stuff into the engine, the Luv runs great. I’ve lowered it by 2 ¾ inches in front and 3 inches in the back; I hope to get a step-side for it soon. I’ve also redone the interior, new prelude seats ($40) and redid the dash there was nothing left of it, new door panels, carpet and the like, all work done by me and my tight budget. Would like to eventually put a 4.3 in it and coil over shocks.

Notes: This truck is definatley the love of my life. Its still got the original, from the lot motor with only 163,000. Its got brand new doors which I am in the process of painting so right now it has a lot of bondo on it. But the underpaint is a CAMO GREEN AND TAN. But this truck is defintally a fixer upper so I am open for suggestions especially with helping it not flood out when I am mud riding. Its alo got a 3" body lift wich has really helped me climbing while I am mudding on hills. Its got great mudtires wich has also helped but other than that im still in the process of deciding if i want to turn it into a looker or just keep it for having fun in the mud. So thanks for looking into my car and I hope to here some info and advise.
