I got her in on a trade for a beat up dodge dually i bought for $3k. Traded for the k5/jimmy plus $2k. Was SO happy!!! In months i bought a 6" super lift kit to get it ready for the local mud bog.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Was really suprised what it could go threw with stock suspension and 31's but... i just dont know when to stop.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Bought some bald 37 swampers for $200

 

[Ricky Bobby]

And bought new boggers for the rear

I blew threw the first transmission after a few months. Paid the cheapest shop around to rebuild it. Bad bad bad idea but it still lasted for 4 months. In that 4 months she became my daily while my 4l60e took a sh*t in my 04 silverado.

All my friends are jeepers... so long story short i did a LOT of recoverys. Plus had to goto the jeep meets just to rub it in

So after rolling it because of the no flex and lift blocks. I decided to do some research. Looked into the 64 spring swap and just had to do it

My other big blue truck

Changed the gears to g2 4.56 with a 14sf rear so i could stay 6 lug. Never had an issue. While doung the gears my buddy and i cleaned out the axle tubes. Found sea shells and fishing line from playing in the lake so many times. Shes my boat lol
