Jim's Hoe
Permalink Closed


we after searching for 2 weeks and driving over 240 miles looking for a truck or Tahoe or Yukon i finally scored this one from craiglist. the guy wanted $5,000.00 ,but i got it for $4,400.00 it has 110K on it and it's loaded. it needs some maintenance work and the drivers side has some body damage they got to close on a narrow bridge with a car.
here's the Hoe i took the bugshield and vent shades off since they were broken and i have replacements coming. i ordered my flowmaster cat back system ordered and another set of taillites and other stuff. so far i love driving it and i love the rims as well, aso it has 750 watts w/2 10"subs and a Kamelion radio in it.and it sounds awesome...anyway here are a few pics


here's the wheels

here's the lh side and the crease going down the side

here's the stereo stuff

here's a good shot of her.

well the body work has started on my Hoe. I'm having that ugly crease down the side fixed my a friend. He's using a thing called a stinger that welds pins to the dent and pulls it out a bit at a time.

finally the Hoe's body work is finally done and he got her new paint on. 7 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear. going to let her sit in thegarage for a few days. Wednesday it'll be lightly wet sanded and then buffed.
anyway here's some pics.










YUP i was feeling a bit HI being on there with all those fumes, but it was worth it.

Jim what kit are you using in the front? Redi Lift? SkyJacker? Summit? Make sure it comes with the shock extensions. I install them all the time at work, without the extensions you won't get that high of a lift and the shocks are at an almost maxed out position causing it to bounce.

It will look sweet with that set up
