The Hydro-assist is not just for the steering it's to help take stress off the frame

Your burb sounds awesome and fun. Any pics with the new tires?
New tires are on there way to AK I'll pick them up in about a month I hope
Most recent pics on 315-70-16's and 35-14.50-16.5 TSL's
well since it will be a about a month before I get to start wrenching I figured I'd toss up some teaser shots of the parts going on .
Yeah should make for a good Alaska Expo rig

That should be pretty much awesome!
Git-r- done! I would like to get that 44 and arm from you when you get back, but I gotta go to Louisianna on the 23rd. Then kenai on the 30th for work. Hopefully back early in November. I'll hit you up when I get back.
Sure, I can get all the stuff gathered up and set it aside for you while I'm home.
How long you gonna be in Kenai?

I love me a burb build!
Makes me miss mine.
Makes me miss mine.
Yep I Love Burbs, I will always have at least one burb from now on
Ok so with time and money be tight to make next years eureka trip AND to help another CK5'er out I picked up a Donor rig to get the burb wheeling . it will be a Mild build nothing all that fancy. until next winter when I can afford to spend a bit more time and money on her.
So this CUCV will donate its axles tires and steering to the Burb. I'll be using my A-bomb and 56" front springs and Inboarding the rear with 63" springs. along with Hydro assist .
So far this is the Plan, but since I really only have 2-3 weeks to work on it and limited funds.........On top of other projects that need to be done . things are subject to change.
My backup plan is to just use all the CUCV stuff under the burb springs and all
My Back up Back up plan is to just take the CUCV.

very nice project, and i am rather jealous of your chevy collection as well. keep up the good work. I love that A-bomb too, thats prolly on my xmas list for the next couple years untill i buy one for myself.
I would be running the rocks this year but I ran into a few issues:
Steering, Full Hydro is really the only way to go and be reliable for the wheeling we do , and to do it RIGHT it will cost about 1600.00
Wheels, Either I have to re-center, buy new, or convert my rocks to 8-lug
Brakes, I bought Kerts awesome pinion brake setup. but the rotor wont clear the leaf springs. so I need to 4-link the front ( there are a few other options but there not as appealing)
so anyways thats where I'm at on using the Rocks too much time and money to go that route this year.
