Default Time for the winter beater...final pics of the fire, and some beater pics

Well guys I took these pics about a week ago, when the last rain was going on...now we have snow instead. Its certainly time to go from my turbo car to my slow winter beater

Anyways here are the last pics before I take the insurance off for the winter... Yess I know its filthy.








You can see here I'm sportin my HMT sticker



and...now for the winter beater:

The 1988 Jeep Commanche

I paid $125 for this one. Then bought wagon wheels for it and put my old bf goodrich all terrain TA's (30x9 1/2)

I still have to put my new rear shocks on her and do some more wiring...then she's good to go.






oh yeah see that hmt tailgate handle. I zip tied the two rods to the hole for the handle so they dont fall down. Now i just squeeze them to open it :P

Sorry if none of you wanted to see this stuff, but I know you all love pictures

Damn, that's a pretty good deal for any car that runs. You just can't beat that.

This is the best picture of your car IMO:

God, I wish you weren't an HMT brother. I'd call riceboy so fast! haha. I bet its a good feeling to strap yourself in that Jeep and not worry about cracking the front bumper. Let er' rip!!!

Bahahahaha, I was thinking the same thing, but he did build a custom turbo setup. I have to give him mad points for that one, plus he can paint and do body work which is one of the wonders of the world to me. Everything I ever tried to do body work on is now at the junkyard.

if that car wasn't turbo I'd hate on it severely right now, but it does look pretty good and it's painted, so I must respect you.

Is that an after market hood cuz it looks like the headlights have been lowered to be made mean looking. And if not that is some great body work.
