1985CRAWLER'S long overdue sorta kinda late build 85 runner

[1985CRAWLER]

Nice! Those look way better tread than mine, and you wont have a plug lol. Power stoke looks sick btw. Im the opposite, i have a trailer but need a tow rig haha

Yea I had to jump on them, such a good tire for a good price , yup I love my powerstroke , the 7.3 is the only ford id own, once I find a good deal on a trailer I'm gonna jump on it

[1985CRAWLER]

Well I still have this turd ,haven't updated this in some time , been wheeling here and there snow trips mainly , some changes have came,I finally upgraded to rcvs ,arp hub and knuckle studs , replaced the blown out fj80 ends with fresh ones , replaced the halogen rock lights with led pods , soon will upgrade the steering with a TG setup I've been hoarding , mostly to accommodate the new 40 13.50 17 pro comps I just picked up today , will be cutting a lot more sheet metal to stuff those but I think they will work , need to order some 17s next.

6.0 or 7.3?

[Rockcrawlintoy]

It is a 7.3

[SqWADoosh]

Gonna blow up some with them 40s bro. 

[Rockcrawlintoy]

He will be fine. He is easy on things

[daniresch]

Woot for 40s!!! What wheels you thinkin?

[OVRAROK]

I was thinking of 38's. but I wanna see them on your rig. may have to jump upto 40's when I re-gear to 529's

[1985CRAWLER]

6.0 or 7.3?

Yep seven tree , I've owned a few of them and this is probly the best running one I've ever had , only 194k and hasn't skipped a beat , hauls whatever I want with ease, still wish it was an obs crew cab though

[1985CRAWLER]

Lol that's the plan bro ! #party

[1985CRAWLER]

Your rig is one of my inspiration to get 40s , slammed on 40s with a full body rig is just sweet , I got a smoking deal on these so I'm gonna see if I can find some used 17s if not I'm just gonna hit up Americas tire and order the custom 17x9 steelies with 2" or 2.5" bs , I like my width now

Hell yea Dave you'll have the 3rz to push em , why not, I already know I'm gonna be hacking up my fenders more big time but I'm gonna try and leave the suspension alone

[SqWADoosh]

You guys just had to go and do it huh. Thought I was up to snuff with my 37s. Then you go and upgrade. 

[Rockcrawlintoy]

Your next set should be 40s

[1985CRAWLER]

Haha yes , but atleast you'll still have fenders haha

[ryantowry_81]

cant wait to see the pictures of the 40's on there!

[SqWADoosh]

Your next set should be 40s

HAH! You told me not to get 40s back before I bought 37s! 

[redneckcustoms13]

Fodees are a bit much for a dd toyota in my opinion. Yours seems to be doing good on the 37s. Your lacking a whole 1.5" of ground clearance not much to sweat when you factor the weight and gear needed to spin them.

Shhhh its not about practicality its about Mike having more than me

[Rockcrawlintoy]

i wouldnt DD 40s again. Good thing mike has a DD/tow rig.

[1985CRAWLER]

Don't hate , I'm just trying to one up you like always haha

[1985CRAWLER]

Oh yea , I need a trailer and I'm set , it's funny I've always had a diesel tow rig dd but never a trailer haha but once I get these 40s under this turd it's gonna be slow as death but I'm sure I'll still drive it around and to do local wheeling , but for sure need a trailer to tow to the big trails , although drving to them and mashing the truck hard and then drving back has always been fun since I never know if I'm gonna make it back

[zippo]

Forties? I'm confused..

[ryantowry_81]

i would definitely not DD with those type of forties..... that is illegal...lol

[1985CRAWLER]

I'm game for on the trail

[1985CRAWLER]

Well the 40s are mounted , this is what it looks like before I start hacking it up again for clearance , they are stuffed in there and rub hard and I can barely turn , once I get some more sawzall blades it's gonna see some change but overall I think it looks sick , low and slow just how it's always been

[1985CRAWLER]

Thought y'all would like to see what this turd looks like now after its all trimmed up , I did not touch the suspension at all , just hacked out a ton of sheet metal and beat the firewall to death with a sledge , I like the new look, gonna do the 5th stud mod and some trunnion eliminators and I should be all set to rock these 40s , might be making fordyce for memorial weekend before those last upgrades so I'll just take it easy on stuff

[Rockcrawlintoy]

You flex it out yet?
