So you're saying this one is super, uber, duper, rare?

Well, that means your making a drive this weekend to trade in and buy it. ;)

Got the option codes for it. :D

YP8 - Championship edition includes: Engine 5.3L V8 (Replaces std/opt engine). Ultra silver metallic body color grille. Painted brake calipers. Painted shocks. Underbody protection package. Black brush guard fender flare extensions. Exclusive hood decal.

Also worth noting.

ZM6 - Off road suspension pkg incl: LT285/75R16 on/off road tires. 4:1 2-speed transfer case. Electronically controlled full locking front & rear differential. Specially tuned shocks.

Oh, we won't be trading anything in. Vira will insist on selling it herself.

To be fair, she's had a pretty good track record with that.

There has been a fair amount of $ put into that truck. The front and rear bumper armor, winch, lights, Safari rack. Who knows what else.

The ARB bumper alone is $1200 new. I think the foglights are an extra cost option. The Gobi rack and ladder aren't cheap either. I don't know where the rear bumper came from. I don't think it's ARB though.

It’s as if Jason put in all the work for you already. Can’t recall the last time someone tastefully modded a car before me with parts I would have installed. Getting all the goodies.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

Funny how that worked out.

Maybe I'll make a deal with Coop. He can have the engine as long as he takes everything attached to it. :lol:

Give me a fork lift and 5 mins I will have the engine and truck separated and scrap yard in sight. Lol.

Waiting to get some pictures of the underbody. It was an Chicago-area truck, so it could be a disaster under there.

'Move on' the mitsu? Or 'move on from' the mitsu?

No matter what, the current garage will not have two trucks with engine swaps at one time. :p

Not until we get more property and a separate workshop. ;)

Here's what they sent me, and my observations.

It looks like it still has the original CE shocks :eek:

It has the unobtanium ladder-style underbody armor. :bigthumb:

The rust that's there, is worse than ours. But the parts that aren't rusted, are better. I'm honestly shocked it's this good, being an Illinois vehicle.

The only thing that really bugs me is that crossmember above the rear diff.

What say you, BAWC peoples?
