This truck is a steal for what is on it and once I went over it mechanically I would not hesitate to drive it to Radford. You could also always take 460. Shorter mileage wise.

only problem i see with adding bolt-ons to the 1.3 is its like polishing a turd. in the end its still a 1.3 and still only going to have maybe 50 hp. haha Jason's(broncomx) efi 1.3 is strong running. but still not worth dumping all kinds of money into it.

1.6 wise. you can either go with a fuel injected 8 valve which would be cheaper than the 16v but wont be as powerful.

33's and 5.12's is a solid route to go. plenty of us around here running the same set up. when you swap to 1.6 depending on which route you go, might want to drop to 4.62's. esp with lots of interstate driving.

yea man i was amazed when i saw it,

its been maintained pretty good. has a new catback exhaust, clutch, tires, speakers, bestop, and the cd player/speakers work great. Also has a full back seat. I drove it up here on some hills and it did fine, the speedo's dead on. its a pretty solid truck that should be a good platform to slowly mod how i want it

its rare to find a sami where EVERYTHING works
