Changing the engine in my Willys Wagon and decided to take my time on it rather than rush through it.

Picked this up to drive while I'm working on it and then to hold onto for anytime The Wife or I need to haul something around that won't fit in her Mini.





Paid $1,000 for it.   ;D

No title.

And a screwdriver for an ignition key.

Should I be worried?



(Yeah, it has a title but I don't have it yet.  Previous owner hasn't gotten the title in the mail yet b/c they bought it less than a month ago.  But there's nothing to worry about.)

Wife?

When did you and Jobu get hitched? ;D

I like a good Suburban.  Dad's got am '87 that is in really nice shape.  They're great for hauling large stuff and lots of people.

I really liked the 90's era Suburbans and Yukons for field rigs.  We ususlly pick up the most recent outmoded body style cheap with maybe 50k soccer-mom/grocery-getter miles and then beat the snot out of em.  Got over 300k miles on one and averaged about 250K on the others.  That looks like a nice one.

Nice, great deal.

So that's what that trip to Vegas was all about.
