We're about done with the build on my 87 Jimmy and took a trip to URE with friends on saturday and tried it out!
When I bought it (about a year ago, ignore the date, it's wrong, didn't know how to set up the camera date):

I'm happy to be able to wheel it! :driver: I bought it a little over a year ago and the motor blew up in it two weeks after I bought it. Then, it sat for a while while I figured stuff out. Well, finally got around to building it, with a lot of help from friends!!!

Thanks for the compliments y'all! Yup, that was me with it on the trailer at Concord Mills, was running late to meet my GF to see a movie (she made me watch Sex and the City movie :() Yup definitely wanting to make a run to Rausch this summer, I am going to be living about 3-4 hours away from it when I go up for school (gonna be going to Wyotech in Blairsville, PA for 9 months). I love wheeling the Jimmy so far but, it is gonna take some getting used to a full size and manual rig! I was using the mirrors as tree feelers at URE! :lol: :driver:
 
Hey I was up in URE that day, i saw you at the out-post that morning. Sweet looking rig, I absolutely love K5's and jimmies. Were you running with a guy that has a CUCV?
