Bought in 1999 as my first vehicle when I was 17. First mod was lights, then rims/tires, then lift, then shackle flip.
Bought the motor with the understanding I would need a new transmission since mine was going out. Figured I'd get a big block C6 instead of another AOD. Got the new motor and transmission in and realized my transfer case was shot. Still made it another few hundred miles to the shop to get it rebuilt.
Caught on fire twice
Never really got to wheel it hard, hopefully I'll take it on a trail and really test it out soon.
Sentimental value: Priceless
