86 K30 - Sarge - strong box doubler and triple stick shifter

[jt512]

Tires look good. I know how huge these things really are.

Truck looks awesome. Gotta keep tabs on the other shortened K-30 in Maryland

Love the front bumper ORD? I need to get rid of my huge front bumper eventually.

Yes, ORD front bumper. I got it from a member here for my K5, but since it is currently serving duty as a garage floor hold down system and Cummins engine stand I figured it would serve me better on a running truck
Looking forward to getting all the MD "K" trucks out on the trail sometime

Those look like they are only 40 inches tall. Pretty weak

Btw, we camped out in the trailer last night. My back and shoulder are so sore.....

you need to update your sig .......

and yes, I was surprised that the tires only measured at 40.5", of course air will most likely make that change.

My 42 PBRs measure out at like 41.5 aired up and on the truck but mine are on 16x10s.

No Brian, no it does not .............

Most people I've heard off claim 42" on a rig and 43" off but aired up , as big as these things look off the truck I'm fine with 40.5" I will know for sure tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I will HAVE to find time to do at least one.............

Was thinking of taking the K5 though since this is as close as to Blazer Bash as most of us east coasters will get. Still hope to get to the real thing some day all the same.

Jacob and Caroline showing off the new tire
for reference thats a 205/50 16 in front (my pimp rollers )

Only got time to mount the one so far, I was expecting some sort of a fight with the insert...................anyone who says how hard they are to do needs to try MX rear tires.......the insert was cake

 

[ramsport59]

Jacob has that big pimpin face going on lol.

I think you should have went 44...

Jacob is growing as fast as your tires. Is that lego truck manual what you use to fix sarge?

You should have seen the look on his face when I first showed it to him it was like Christmas morning, of course within a minute he asked where the others were
44's...............heck no, I think I heard my stock stub shafts and hubs cry a little when they saw the 42's

He is growing waaayyyy to fast

Yep, use the Lego manual all the time, still can't find the page on doublers

[jt512]

I am actually doing some driveway wrenching right now

It is currently sporting the super hotrod stance w/ 42's on the back and rollers on the front

 

[jt512]
