Default Its comming time for winter beaters...pics of mine

Well today up here in Big Rapids michigan where I go to college it snowed, yes thats the white stuff ;(

Anyways I suppose I need to finish working on my winter beater that I bought a few weeks ago at an auction. Oh yeah its a 1988 Jeep Commanche. I need to get new wheels two are missing and I have some BF goodrich all Terrain T/A's from my s-10 that I had wrecked last spring.

I paid $125 for the truck, not bad if you ask me. It ran like poo when I bought it but I hooked up some unhooked plugs and some vaccume lines. She runs a lot better now but smokes these things were known for valve guides... Anyways enjoy. The new wheels (15" white wagons) are on their way and it will be on the road soon I suppose.
