Will it still have pink flames ? Towards the end of the season she started having issues. The 8 yrs. have started to show. Many stress cracks at the hangers.The springs are shot and the bushings are missing,(that would be the death wobble ?) Exhaust is kinked. Radiator at Rausch, Hanging out with you guys is expensive !

Got the tub off and power washed the frame. I could be wrong but , me and the boys are pretty sure We still had Paragon mud in the places you cant get to with the body on ! My , the damage goes on. Right Rear hanger held on by the weight of the jeep. Left rear bushings , missing ! Frame bent in at spring mounts. Left side front a disaster. I could swear I maintained this thing ! Im going to up load some pics tonight. FjR68

If you're ready to junk that thing just put it back together and I'll come pick it up so you won't have to mess with it!
