Got mine from 4wheel parts for 125 each. Totally worth it, I will never buy any other shock for this truck. They can also be rebuilt for 75 a piece when they wear out.

For those that care, the Kia got an oil and trans fluid change this week for rolling over 100k miles. And today for the 4th the Kia went full bald eagle.

Drill.....I didnt' realize when you said it had hail marks. Holy crap, that hood has definitely seen the swing of a pissed off woman, or hail. lol

I actually like the looks of that rig. It must be the Mustang wheels. lol

My set off Sonya were put on an 85 Olds Cutlass Supreme (my old car from 2000). I gave the car to a buddy, then I won a $100 bet that they would fit the GM from him. GM fwd are mostly 115mm vs Ford 114.3. They work. lol

That picture actually doesn't even do the dents justice, they are very sizeable. The roof is the worst, some spots I don't think could even be fixed. But it was so cheap and runs so good I could care less about the dents. I actually think it's a pretty good looking car too, the mustang wheels definitely help lol.

The wifes escape is a FWD as well, I hate or am jealous of you white (can't decide which kidding of course.) I miss living in the mountains (from Colorado originally.) The nice thing about a dented vehicle is the fact that another dent just adds to the decor rather than being a stress factor. As long as it runs well and gets from point A to point C it's all good.

Lol.... hopefully jealous rather than hate. It's a nice area that I am going to. Last night solidified my desire to leave my neighborhood. I had one guy down the street start another neighbors lawn on fire, and the guy across from me had a firework tip over and shoot under my truck and my sisters cars. Both exploding under the vehicles. I yelled at him and told him to stop... my kids were all upset about it, etc. Mother trucker kept lighting them... one went in my neighbors tree. So I told him I was going to go call the cops if he didn't stop.... at that point he did. This state is so dry right now, and we are in a fireworks restricted area anyway. Too damn many idiots here.

On a more nice note... I went to my Grandmothers house for lunch yesterday. She told me she was tired of the mess in her garage and asked if I wanted any of my Grandfather's old tools. Ummmm... heck yeah! I got a Craftsman bench grinder new in the box, Craftsman electric knife and axe sharpener new in the box, Craftsman router, and a HF wood Lathe new in the box. Got a big box of drill bits, router bits, and a bunch of other assorted stuff. Ohhh, and a Dremel brand scroll saw.

BTW - All of the tools were bought in 98, and my Grandfather passed away in 99. So it's all new or slightly used.

They are everywhere sadly. Fireworks are only "legal" on the 4th here but they have been firing them off for over a week and we'll have at least another week of them. Someone decided to keep firing them till 4:30 am Monday morning. Cops don't care as they are "too busy" doing other things (some of which is true.)

Nice score on the tools. Sadly everyone else in the family got to my grandfather's stuff before me. I have a few things but would have liked some of the tools and one of the CJ's.
