Keeping a truck for 20 yrs in Ohio is a heck of a feat!  (former Akron guy)

No kidding but to be honest it hasn't been in the snow since 94' she's pretty babied. Lives inside, and hasn't seen rain in years.

81 K10: factory quad shocks, SM465, dual tanks, A/C, full power, tach dash, bucket seats

that sounds like a sweet ride there Capt. why oh why would you get rid of that?! 

I sold it to buy the most missed vehicle I ever owned and sold, my 1997 Jeep TJ.
After lifting it with a RE 4.5", installing 33's and a spare set of 33 boggers on beadlocks, SYE, ARB lockers front/rear, 4.10 gears, full Rollcage, 99 drivers tip/slide seat bracket, winch plate, 9000i winch, blah blah blah, I sold it because I rarely took it offroad.  I still have dreams about this Jeep...
This is was in April 97, 2 moths after I got it and when the softtop finally arrived for it and took the hardtop off to install the soft top.  I actually put the hardtop back over the soft as it was COLD




Here it is how most like to see it.  It was the above version 99% of its life.  My wife wants another one...

Shut up... it's freakin Blue, Lapis Blue.  Jamie and I were having this discussion last night....

^ heh Lapis Blue, I remember that color. I remember the local Dodge dealer having a 95 Avenger in that color and it sat on the lot for 2+ years as it would not sell.

....and the front tags matched the body color, wow!

^ heh Lapis Blue, I remember that color.

I actually special ordered it with this color.  I plan to paint one of my trucks that color too.

[SUX2BU99]

I would imagine your TJ would have been really rare in that color as well. I don't think I've ever seen a Jeep in that color. The most I've seen in Lapis Blue are Caravans.

It was, until 1999 that I saw one that same color as none of the dealerships were going to order it.  I stopped the guy and he said he special ordered it after he saw mine.  His was a 98 model.  I still see it every once in a while.
