I picked up my 86 USMC Bkazer about 2 months ago and have put a thousand miles on her to bring her up to an even 50K. She runs perfectly and is a great starting point for building the daily driving trail rig I want.

She is already lifted and cut to run the 39 inch tires on her. Most of the military brackets are gone amd she is flat black.

There are already a few out of the box projects for me to do that came with the truck;
-Install mostly complete AC kit.
-install Dana 60s after gathering a few more odds and ends
-install banks turbo kit after gathering gauges and Pyro meter

I have also picked up a couple of items from LMC. I need to rebound the rear window with the brackets and seals sitting in the back qnd install the SHELFIT that I ordered at the same time.

The list of other things I want to do:
-vinyl wrap Kryptek Yheti
-rubber coat the floor front to back.
-soundproof the cab
-build a roll bar to support the rlof rack when going topless
-buld a lowpro rroof rack and a tent system for off the ground sleeping.
-ladder
-Rear bumper with swing out tire rack.
-Receivers fron an back with trays for portable winch
-12 ton winch on tray for front or rear
-ARB lockers front and back
-long range comms
-custom center console with cup hilders,catch trays and storage cubies
-trail armor to protect all the vulnerable components
-cush aphulstry on all seats.
-maybe coil over the rear end.

I took some pics the other day. I just have to figure out how to get them posted.
