![]() im throwing some gear in the bed of his truck, and hes dropping me off in Jacksonville on his way through. So, at this point the plan is that my brother is heading to Gainesville this weekend. Jeremy said the factory radio works, but 95 has a whole lot of static instead of radio stations. need USB capabilities for that many miles of poor radio reception. Ive already setup an old JVC head unit i had laying around for the drive home. I spent 20 on the GMC grille and filler panel behind the bumper.Ģ0180205_074841 by Michael Crawford, on FlickrĪnd another 15.99 on ebay for a stereo install kit (not pictured) I have spent a little money before actually buying the truck. as far as purchase price, i feel i got a pretty damn good deal. this time, without jeremys permission, im only going to document what i spend on the vehicle post purchase. Now normally, in a drivabeater thread i keep a running tally of every penny spent om the vehicle. This is what it looked like pre-challenge.Īnd what it looks like now. after the challenge, he raised the back end a little, aligned it, had the ABS system bled, and threw a set of camaro wheels on it. (if anyone, including jeremy, remember more, please add! im anal about records on stuff). apparently it had an axle replaced as well, and some brake work. he put a door, cab corner, and bed on it, slammed the ever living berkeley out of it in the hotel parking lot, and plastidipped it. y'all may remember it from the parking lot build/challenge. his old truck was a 1995 silverado 2wd stepside. his new truck is awesome, and im jealous. also, 2wd is apparently a dirty word, as all the trucks in the price range of "one payment plan from the gun safe" are 4wd. for 300k+ examples that are beat to death. for me, a minivan or trailer just arent good options.Īround here, trucks are apparently worth their weight in uranium. insurance and lawyars are still involved, so not much to say about that at this point other than im freaking pissed.Ģ0180126_214146 by Michael Crawford, on Flickr or in this case, paid for!ĭue to an unfortunate incident, drivabeater 2.0 has left the hallowed grounds of my property. So i figure ill partake in the time honored tradition of starting the build thread before getting the vehicle home.
