So I've been mostly lurking around here for over a year... Almost 2 years actually. Comment a bit, learned a lot from you guys. Bought my first truck 2 years ago. 2004 lb7, was a plow truck for 2-3 years. Used a bit harder then I was expecting but only had 185,000km (110 miles?) and new injectors. Thing ran mint once I put efi live on it, ppe boost valve, intake, exahust and fass fuel pump. Nothing major but had some nice get up and go especially since it was a single cab being so light. And of corse being 19 I "needed" a lift and tires. Had her all fixed up, painted. Cleaned.. Not perfect but it was nice. And sure enough when I was moving to my new job/home in Saskatchewan I ended up writing the truck off in northern Ontario when a moose crossed the road :( so now it's got a bent frame.. Crushed front clip, and my atv smashed the cab to bits on top of that. So now it's just in the yard.. Got almost all the parts to fix it up, it still runs. Just leaks coolant, now just debating on putting a solid axle on it with a nice flat bed.. Since it's practically worthless now anyway but worth so much to me since I know that thing so well and know how well it runs with all the time invested into it. So looking for some input on that maybe?

In the mean time I ended up getting a nice 4 door lbz.. 135km on it (70,000miles?) right around 2000 hours on it.. Beautiful shape.. No regrets there especially for a daily driver I can actually count on.. Fass pump on it, creepy bully dog tuner for now with an intake and so on. Won't be anything crazy. Debating on a trango shift kit or just saving up for a built one.. Not too sure yet.

So feel free to ask questions or give suggestions please :) always nice to hear another opinion with real time experience.
