I'm jake, up oxford way. Just got a new rig and trying to get it back trail ready (engine rebuild). Looking for a group to ride trails with. I hope that yall would let me ride along even though my rig isn't a jeep, although I do have a Tj.

Would be glad to have you out with us. We've had a couple different rigs ride with us from time to time. Keep us updated on the build and post some pics

It's an 81 Chevrolet 3/4 ton. I can't get pics to post on here. I do have pics of the truck though. Tubed out from just in front of the rear wheels to the radiator supports. From the frame down is all that's original on the truck. And I may not have to do a rebuild. My cousin has a crate engine he pulled to build a different hot engine to drop in its place in his truck, so he told me he'd sell it to me cheap

Well, nevermind on the motor. I found a 305 for $250 but it ain't been ran in 5 years, so I'm kind of nervous about that. The 350 I was looking at was already sold. Said one of his guys sold it when he was out of town

I hope it runs good lol. Guess I'll see how it turns over by hand, work it loose as needed and change all fluids in it
