New in NC
Hey - just thought I'd introduce myself. I recently bought a 4 door '98 Jimmy as a daily driver. It's not 4wd (really wish it was), but I couldn't argue with the price. I haven't done much of anything to it yet, but I do have performance upgrades planned. I don't have any good pictures yet, but hope to have some soon.
Maybe oisinirish doesn't know where he is LOL but I know where I am.
I'm in Auckland, New Zealand & wish you a hearty welcome to the forum.
There's no rush to mod your truck. Good things take time. Took me 2 years to get my truck like it is now & I've still got a way to go yet.
Just remember the golden rule - PIC, Pics, pics & more pics. That's what keeps us all happy.

But I throw you a welcome regardless. Just don't let it happen nxt time you are brand new to this forum!
First suggested mod: go to a junlyard and yank an entire 4wd system! it will bolt directly on!
Thanks everyone
Once I get a few free minutes, I'll take some pics. So far, I've only had the windows tinted and bought a cheap CD player (along with maintenance stuff).
As for performance, I have the original 4.3 and we're planning on rebuilding it with forged internals. After that, we'll either add a supercharger or turbo along with any supporting mods needed. I also want a 4" lift and better brakes. That's probably about it for performance. I do want to have it painted a different color (it's pewter), upgrade the stereo, get nicer wheels, and possibly work on the interior, but those aren't high on my to-do list right now.
