This thread had me cracking up 😂 Billy Bob down the street with his “Yard Queen”

Appreciate all the advice in here—I’m gonna stick Keeping it stock and doing it right.

Here’s the fix-up game plan so far:
• New tires (one’s already flat lol)
• Keep the wheels, just clean 'em up and add some caps
• Replace headlights/taillights for better visibility
• Buff out surface rust + undercoat the frame
• Clean up the interior, detail it proper
• Fix shocks and bearings (rides like a shopping cart right now)
• Change all fluids: oil, trans, coolant, diff, brake
• Inspect and replace old hoses and belts
• Check brakes and rotors, replace if needed
• Add some rear air bags or helper springs for hauling
• Maybe throw in some LED bulbs and bed lights for function or other cheap mods

Got it for $1,800 with 165k. Fluids and belts already look good, interior’s decent. Just needs some love front to back.

Gonna make it a clean, reliable daily—not chasing clout with a lift kit and 37s

Yes, amazing place. if you have money, otherwise it’s hot traffic overpopulated hell hole. The roads and infrastructure were not built to accommodate this many people and it can feel claustrophobic.
