The story
Originally sold in Austin, Texas in 1996. Used as an offroader by one of the owners down south for quite a few years (̶s̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶b̶o̶n̶d̶o̶)̶. Brought up to Illinois sometime after 2014 and bought by my family in 2015. I spent about all of 2016 doing body work to remove and prevent rust, great learning experience.
