Re: Yay!!

Right now Bushwacker is selling these for $254 +/-. I've hinged on this for a while,but decided to pull the trigger. These things have been around since the late-70s when 4wds were getting graphic paint jobs,chrome roll bars,and running Turbines. They are a subtle change on the square body when tires/wheels are wide enough. If I had 8" wheels I wouldn't have gotten them,but these put the body back over the tires for a more refined look. I think they somewhat take it in another direction but I'm doing anything else in that direction (custom). The soft top took in a fun toy direction and the lift with big tires/black wheels combined with the top give it a could be serious off road fun toy direction. The only other plan would be fabbing stout steel bumpers (& winch),which would also lend to the serious fun off road toy vibe...cuz it pretty much is! Just one I don't want to bend up.
I'll get pictures once they are installed. I'm hittin' two jobs today,so probably won't get to them today. I need to get another can of paint mixed up between jobs,too. Here's a picture of my old '90 family wagon as a warmup. What I'm doing to this Jimmy is what I was going to do to the Blazer,but had to sell a few years back when money was tight (wait,it's tight now!). I had ordered a black soft top from STC,but I was lucky enough to be one of their last orders. They were taking forever giving excuses,I cancelled the order,but refund never came by the time the number was disconnected/out of business. Like I had $5-6 hundred dollars to throw away
