Bought a Jimmy tonight!

I just got home from buying another Jimmy. It's a 72 with factory tilt and tach, new paint, new interior, 4" lift with 33x12.50's. I don't have pics yet, but I'll post them ASAP. I was looking for a 2wd (and still am), but couldn't pass this one up.

Re: Bought a Jimmy tonight!

Okay fellas, sorry for the wait. I spent the whole day getting wheels and tires for the new ride. I just couldn't do the old school 33x12.50x15's, so I opted for some 325x50x20's from M/T and new wheels. It's hard to find something that will fit in a 20. Yes the others will be for sale and they are like new! Anyway, here's the only pic I could get before dark. Hope you like it!

Re: Bought a Jimmy tonight!

It's very tough to find 20's and larger wheels that fill fit these vehicles. There are all sorts of wierd sounding problems like "hub centric" that have to be overcome. The selection was extremely limited in a non-custom made wheel. Good luck though, I like the look.

I think you should paint yours, put some big-pimpin' wheels on it, drive it and then sell think about sellin' it.

Re: Bought a Jimmy tonight!

Here's some more pics. Sorry it's crammed in the shop. The wheels and tires were $2100 and it has a 4" lift. Thanks for the compliments, I know it's not for everyone, but I wanted something different.
