Looks pretty good to me. I like ugly trucks though.

I remember when mine looked like that. Then ten minutes later I took a torch to it.

#1 improvement as far as I'm concerned, and maybe a lift.

How much lift did you give that thing of yours ? Looks much better now.

x2. It would make me nervous not to have that back there.

eightyfive · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2006, 08:29:27 PM »

it has about 3 inches in the front and about 4 in the back... i have front shackles on the way.

those are somewhat old pictures....i think in those pictures i still had the dookie brown interior missing about every panel. it's now grey, with all the panels!
i also added...

longer SS brakeline in the rear
shock-torque bar
somewhat quick disconnect sway bar end links
full size 33x1250x15 spare under the truck....looks like crap! but i'd rather have it there than nothing at all
grey split rear seats
went fully synthetics in the tranny and transfercase...HUGE improvement, i was suprised what this did.
and last but not least....ROLL BAR IS BACK IN! happy?

now i just need to find some time to take the pictures.

planned for the next month...

1" front shackles
paint
fix an annoying electrical problem
cut up some carpet
somehow mount rear speakers inside panels
vented brakes up front/extend brake lines in front
1.25 spacers
rebuild front axle...

I'm sure you will, but you gotta get rid of that spare from there. Yulk!!

How ya supposed to change that tire on the trail if it's stuck under yer truck? Not to mention yer ground clearance is

Mount it in the bed

Bender · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 08, 2006, 04:53:13 PM »

I mounted my spare in the back. Attached it to the roll bar. That's a 37 so there's plenty of room for a 33!

Siringo · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 08, 2006, 06:39:05 PM »

Or you could do what the old Landy's used to do and stick it on your bonnet, but as I come back down to earth, I think that may not be such a great idea.

I chuck mine in the tray, don't even tie it down, makes a good seat at lunchtime.

Will that rear shackle provide you with much droop?

Siringo · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 08, 2006, 03:14:00 PM »

If it's anything like mine, you wont get much droop out of it at all. Mine are the same. I upgraded the rear springs to some with 2" of lift, only thing is the springs aren't any longer, they just bring the two ends closer together. I'm looking at some revolver shackles or longer springs out of another vehicle.
