Hey everyone,
I just picked up an 09 Vibe on Monday. It's replacing my wife's 97 2 dr Sunfire. It had 260,000 km on it, super rusty and was having overheating issues. With our first child due in March, we figured it was time to retire the car and get something a little more child friendly.
Here are a couple pics of it since everyone likes pics
I would like to do a few things to it to make it a little more unique, can't stand having a stock vehicle. Hopefully I can get some good ideas from the forum. I'm thinking tint will be one of the first things I do.
I also own a 99 Blazer ZR2. It has a 2" Body Lift, 33x10.5R15 BFG KM2's on third gen Z28 wheels, Auburn ECTED rear electric locker, 3000w Inverter, custom built (by me) rear diff cover and probably more mods than I can think of at the moment and many more to come lol.
And 2000 Sonoma ZR2.
It started out as buying a 2001 S10 writeoff for a parts truck
But decided I would like to have a trail truck project for a solid axle swap. So I fixed it up most of the way, but it still had a bent frame and not great to build off of.
So I found a 2000 Sonoma with no drivetrain but straight frame and clean title.
I swapped everything from the writeoff to the new truck. Engine, trans, complete interior etc. I also cleaned up some of the frame and inner fenders (sanded, painted). It was a lot of work that took me about a year and a half working some evenings and weekends.
Here's how it sits now
Eventual plans for it are Ford D44/9" combo form a 79 Bronco and 39x13.5R17 BFG Krawlers.
I have tons more pics of the project but don't want to make this intro thread any longer than it already is lol
Anyway, thanks for reading and I look forward to being part of the forum!
