Ok this is my build copied from gmt400 so it might be a little rough.

Ok so heres the starting point guys, Its a 95 with no rust except on the bed rails and a perfect leather interior except of course the drivers seat is torn. I alread got a body lift tires rims and 2" blocks on the way. Ill throw my 120 speedo fog light switch and Denali door panels on it to start. Anyway on the way home from buying it i saw a semi t bone a ford focus on the highway going the opposite way. I threw er in 4 wheel and drove down through a steep median and it climbed back out no problem even with street tires. There were 2 very attractive girls in the car btw and they were ok just really shaken up. Then once i was done thre me and my buddies took it out and tried out the 4x4 and damn near got stuck haha. Anyway onto the pics Ill get a bunch more soon

Well i got a lot done yesterday i got the subs in the mirriors on and wired rear bumper off denali panels on hood release fixed i pulled the center console lid out of the 96 and put it in the 95 since the one in the 95 was broken same with the dash cup holder the 96 also had those really nice husky liners that are molded to fit so i put those in the 95 to. And i pulled the grille off the 95 once again. Today im gona pull the grille and rear bumper off the 96 because it already has the BL brackets so i can return the ones i bought and put the good grille on the 95. And i have somone coming to look at the 96 a 4 o clock today
