Gotta earn its keep by moving its tools and crap over to the new house. Air bumps work great as overloads with soft custom ord springs

Is that a "two car garage"?

Supposedly
Yes but with all my tools and everything I will be lucky to fit 1.
It's a 2 car garage or a one truck shop
That's a spec house "2" car garage. Tiniest things ever. I lived in a couple rentals with them. Cant fit more than a compact car in them for the most part.
It's kind of amazing the truck fits in it lifted on 35's
Yeah it is. My problem is I have way too much other shit that also has to go in the garage.
Just wait, I have a ton of crap too just hasn’t made its way over. I just found out it won’t fit forward has to be backed up.
When I put the truck together I dragged it out of my sisters garage with the front end on a cherry picker. Lifted until the cab was an inch below the garage door and took measurements for the coil overs. If my memory is correct it has 6 inches of up travel and 8 inches of droop.
That's how they build them down here. My "2-car" garage is like 18x19 and I loose the corners for a side door and water heater. You can get 2 compacts in there if you back one in so the doors use the same space down the middle.
I miss this truck, need to bring it back. Needs some work but runs and drives. Hoping in a few weeks to get into it.

Sense I sold my 85 C10 that was the mistress, it’s time to start back up on this.
I couldn’t fine a decent sport bumper for the 85 so I took it off the 82, found this for $100 yesterday and snatched it up.
Also have a new 90mm throttle body coming to get rid of the Chinese 102mm TB that whistles at idle.

Also while building the c10 it needed new glass so I got a replacement slider, it’s been broken sense 2008
Also saw this today, to many wheeling trips…

Spot welds popped?
That happened to a set of aftermarket fenders I had a while back. The inner and outer skin basically completely separated before I found some clean original ones.

The piece that runs below the grill cracked at the corner and it looks like the spot welds for the bolts broke. Honestly, not really sure haven't looked at it.
The Jimmy has a 3" gap there.
102mm tb
