OHIO R50 Greeny

Recommended Posts

Hello, new to the forum and hope to meet some new ppl. I just bought this '97 SE from North Carolina which has no rust! I really wanted one with a spare tire mount on back which were impossible to find!

 

Next up, suspension lift and shocks and find a rim/tire combo.

 

Here are some winter shots, from Ohio!

Thanks for the warm welcome!! I appreciate the compliments!

 

It is a forest green truck. I was fortunate to find a truck from the South, which makes a big difference underneath. I just replaced a few suspension parts (inner/outer tie rods, links, etc.) and was so nice to be able to get all the original parts off the rig with no major issue. No rust or seizing to battle with.

Nice truck man, good call getting a rust free one. Keep it undercoated! I plan to do the same thing when mine gives up the ghost and import a pathy/qx4 from the southwest.
