Well I originally had an 82 and had to sell it to pay for my My last year of college. I have greatly missed it ever since. As soon as I graduated I started to track it down and found out the guy that bought it from me stripped all the straight body parts off mine to build back his totaled truck with his built chassis 
. So I have been hunting locally for the last year and a half for the perfect replacement to my 82.
i paid 4500$ for this 83 and have a binder full of all receipts from the build. There was a bit more work done than I wanted but the price was right and the body and frame are straight and rust free. It has Original seats carpet headliner paint door panels. But has a pioneer touch screen radio with gps retrofitted into the old dash, I think this will be nice for mountain adventures once I load it with custom maps. The interior is in very good original condition as well.
1983 sr5
rebuilt engine and L52
front and rear lockers, 5.29 gears
new Luk clutch
Marlin HD front case, advance adapter heavy duty dual bearing crawler kit.
Coming soon IFS box and crossover steering
