Specs:
1997 Mountianeer 5.0 AWD
5.0 with a Few Powder coated Pieces By Turdle

Magnaflow Muffler replacing the Factory unit

A few Pics for now and I will update this some more later. If this Rig looks familiar to some it should be since I purchased this from Dan Whitaker

Let the Mods Begin

*techieman33* · 04-09-2011, 02:52 PM

Don't worry Dave I'll start the mods while your away. Thought I would start with getting rid of that ugly rear bumper and those lame torque monster headers for you.

I am glad that it was able to stay in the family though.

*gmanpaint* · 04-09-2011, 02:56 PM

Hells Yeah

Awful kind of Dan to part with this rig for ya.

Cant wait to see the transformation happen.

**FROADER** · 04-09-2011, 02:59 PM

Nice buy, Dave.

Are those swampers new or the old ones off of Mark's rig?

*BrianDye* · 04-09-2011, 03:02 PM

Nice ride

I think the back end would look even better if you painted the lower hatch where its gray or whatever, to match the taillights. (Dark gray or black, whatever it is)

Looks clean as hell though!

*lynchy wa* · 04-09-2011, 03:42 PM

Wicked buy Dave! She look's cherry ripe mate. Looking forward to seeing what you do to her!

Thanks dunno about painting the lower hatch area but i am think about hitting the post around the rear window with some flat black to liven it up a bit

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Subscribing!!!

**Turdle** · 04-09-2011, 10:56 PM

I'm glad it finally found it's way home.

*Dan Whitaker* · 04-09-2011, 11:02 PM

The wife said she was sad to see Spanky go and she never liked my Mounty.

Spanky may some day be reunited with a set of her old wheels. The wheels on Greg's "Black Hole" were on Spanky at one time. And to top it off I'm sending Bluka one of the license plates off Spanky.

**section525** · 04-09-2011, 11:32 PM

Whoa! Now what, Dan? Congrats cyber!

**Burns** · 04-09-2011, 11:36 PM

Now get your other one down here so you can drive one and wheel one
