My beast of a truck
Finally got around to taking some pics of it 
Here it is! (click thumbnail for larger pic)
It has a little rust
That is the worst of it though.
For pushing smaller cars out of the wa.. err, I mean mounting a winch, yeah
Self explanitory
Manual Locking hubs on the front wheels.
It actually has more KMs on it.. The odometer was broken for 2 years, and at the time it was being driven 30-50k a year.. So when I say "Over 500,000kms" its because I don't know by how much
4spd, of course Although the next year had a 5spd, if I had the place to do it i'd love to do a swap.
No posting would be complete without a picture of the engine
Its an International Harvester 6.9 IDI Diesel
Edit: 338ft-lbs of Torque @ 1400RPM; 170hp @ 3300rpm
The instructions on switching to 4x4. Since me and T16 have been working on drivetrain stuff for our forum game recently I thought that he (and maybe others) would find it interesting.
It isn't fast, or pretty, but it is still fun to drive, and I love it.
