This one has quite the Pirate history, originally built in the early 2000's by EvlMnky, I bought it from VonWilsonator back in 2018. I am hoping to keep it from falling into the hands of a nephson posting it here. She lived the majority of her life in CA, Wilson got stationed in West Virginia and brought the truck with him, I bought it and brought it back up to Michigan. Towed my GMT800 wheeler on 05+ tons and 44s to the Keweenaw and Drummond for wheeling a few times a year, did some softroading camping and hunting. Does 75 down the highway no problem.
The inside of the rockers and the frame were oil coated before seeing a Midwest winter and has been recoated a few times since. Minor dings and rock chips, but overall the cab is rust free. Bumpers and bed have the standard issue Midwest annual rattlecan paintjob.
A lot of big ticket items since I bought it, new 37" Yokohama Geolander X-ATs last year, the entire fuel system is less than 2 years old, full set of SAC00 injectors with stainless steel lines, CP3 pump, FASS setup, Beans fuel sump. NV273F transfer case conversion in 2019, PSC big bore XD steering box and hydro assist around the same time.
Always had a big vision for this rig, but relocated to northwestern Wisconsin for work, wheeling hauls got much shorter, bought a 100+ year old farmhouse, trying to consolidate projects.
