good
It has new suspension kyb shock's

clarion head unit with new speakers all around
has HID's
just had a full tune up about 3 months ago his uncles a mechanic.
new brakes all around
K&N air filter
Magnaflow muffler
new walbro fuel pump

bad
front seats need to be recovered recovered
and needs new tires soon.

other than that I'm happy with it. I get it tomorrow so pic's tomorrow if its not raining.

Plans for this car will be to be a DD
so it will be simple mod's

TO DO LIST

Clean all interior really good
New tires
Recover front seat's
respray passenger fender to match the rest of the car
amp and subs 10's or 12's but most likely 10's
maybe 3-5 inch lift?

Good luck with it hope all goes well.

Yup, can't wait to see pics. Good luck with it.

Good luck, can't wait to see it.

Got it earlier today pics on first post

That's a 1995 model truck; a later one given that it has the full OBD2 pcm, but still a 95 since it has the CPI engine.

thanks for that info i had no clue.

if my 1998 chevy blazer tail lights fit your truck i can sell them to you and ship them to you offer me a price

Sorry posted off my phone, didn't see the pics.

That front end isn't a 98+ it's the one that belongs on the truck, so 95-97.

I don't know the difference so now I know.
this is my first american car.

So I have had my Jimmy for almost 5 days and I have found 5 problems nothing major.

1. If I lock the doors using the lock switch from inside the car, I can not unlock it with the key's.

2. I was told today that my rear passenger door doesn't open from the inside as if the child safety is engaged but it shows that it's not.

3. blinker's don't work

4. fuel gauge is pretty damn jumpy. is this normal?

5. I was also told today that the rear passenger side seat belt buckle is broken.
Got to get to the pick and pull for a working replacement.

Any suggestions on fixing these thing's? any info is great, if you can link me to a how to is even better.

Thanks for the help

Not many people come in here to look for questions that need answering. More for ideas, etc. You would probably be better off posting in the appropriate tech section.

the bigger question i have is, how the hell did your friend not know what he was driving? :icon_doh:

kinda hard, since the YOM is right there on the ownership. :icon_shrug:

anyways, with a little TLC you'll have a nice DD, and learn all the quirks of dealing with the abuse others had inflicted on her.

GL with your new ride.

he never read the registration it was under his uncles name so he just drove it.
and i will post up my questions in the tech section. thanks guys.
