Oh they do but thats ok with me

As long as it drives then thats a win to me lol

You know, that I agree.....


When I had those, my feelings were:

Having Beadlocks, is totally worth the bullsh*t.
But I have to be able to freeway drive my sh*t.

Welp,
Got the caliper out/cleaned/reassembled with new seals/ back onto truck and.....it only did it once. So i limped it home and is felt at times like it wanted to do it but i was able to downshift and prevent any horendouse shaking.
I have a feeling my rotors(which are lipped and possible warped) are the cause of whats left. So now im debating on just getting new rotors for 9/16 studs and drill my 1/2 studs out to 9/16 while i do the brakes.

That might be worth it fr me.
I have a dozen pairs and I might as well rebuild them.

Yea i was expecting something around $10 but yea $4-5 aint to bad.
Considering a new caliper (for my 60) was $35 plus $30 core

So much for getting anything done

Good eye

It sure looked pretty but i prefer functionality over looks

It's not hard to put in a dana 60 and front driveshaft...

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Sh*t.... I'd rock it, as a 2wd pavement princess....

You two homos know you would too...
Something's gotta tow the damn trailer.

 

[1970worthog]

Oh no doubt

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Oh no doubt

That thing is sexy.

 

[1970worthog]

It even had the Norcal_chris crossover

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

2wd would be fun till you get stuck somewere and feel like an idiot in your giant truck. Pismo for example

bringing this back from the dead

No huge updates, just some needed TLC to get it ready for the road again.

Ordered up some replacment parts (TREs/Fuel sending unit/filters and fluids)

also bought some 37" BFG Bajas that will be going on some stock steelies.
need to either buy some SRW Internal style hubs for the front 60 or machine the DRWs units that I have and get rid of the crappy SRW external hubs that I have now. They have a odd bulge to the body of the hub and prevents me from using the steelies as the hub bore is too small to fit over. and Im not one to make mismatch rims

Ill try to keep this updated as I get it more road worthy.
