Hey,

I finally made it, owning a 4x4 pickup. I've been wanting one since I watched "Walker Texas Ranger", needless to say it was a decade ago.
I got an 01 Sierra LTE from copart, truck is in a very sorry shape, much worse than described. It was the only thing I could afford anyway, and I love it already

It has 110 on the clock, supposedly blown engine from the tow truck driver. SO far, I'm more convinced of a missfire and exhaust leak. 4 Low won't engage, and many other things. Rusted through front subframe, same for crossmember. Missing handles, door panel, torn rear bumper and requires some massive body work

Welcome to the site, you will get lots of help from members on here, looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you.

welcome to the site

Welcome to the site. Take a lot of pics and document the rebuild, it'll be nice to see it brought back to former glory.

Might of been better taking the radiator cap off and sliding another truck under it. just kidding...
Welcome to the forum and grab those wrenches and get busy,,,

I'm gonna start on the truck asap, but I got to finish the Monte Carlo first, I'm welding patches right now.
Hopefully the truck will see my tool sometimes next week

Thanks for the warm welcoming.

Should I keep posting on here about the truck or there's a better suited section on the forum?

You could post the progress on your blog site that is available to you... its good to update it and track things as you go. It also is seen by members...

Welcome to the site! got a bit of a project on you hands it seems! but it would be boring if it was perfect and you needed to do nothing to it.

Welcome aboard!

That's a nice project truck. Hit all that rust rot up with some metal protecter or rust converter right away.

I'm gonna cut it. Body wise, only rocker panels are touched, the rest is rust free, for the frame, I'll cut generously and get some THICK steel to patch it
