Just thought I'd share. I'm going to get more shots today since I'm off and have nothing planned. Enjoy and don't get jealous! :haha:

Chas, I knew if anyone would appreciate that pic it would be you! I also fixed the title, lol. I'm going on the hunt in just a bit. Seriously thinking about putting a zero rate in the front and moving my axle forward just a bit. About tore the fender up going through a ditch the other day. :haha:

all that time, money and effort building it and you are still running the stock shackles. :eek1: :doah: at least get a set of the ORD greasables heavy duty ones. they will lift the front about a 1/4" but the greasable bushings MIGHT make a small difference in ride. probably not but at least the shackles are twice as thick and the bolts are bigger.:D
 
Just drove thru there on sat.,if i would have known there was some wheelin there I would have checked it out!!!:D

I know, I know. New front shackles are on the "to do" list. I'll probably do that when I put a zero rate up front. Might just get a pair of zero rates a little taller for the back and take the ones I have in the back and put them up front. We'll see. :D
 
It looks like it is leaning just a bit to the right. Oh, wait - there is a Neon under the LF tire, didn't notice that before.
 
Thanks so much for all the compliments y'all! :bow: I keep looking at it and I think the reason it looks like it's leaning to one side is I think the front bumper might be tweaked just a hair. :dunno:
 
I like it. Matter of fact, where I'm at, I'd rather have your truck than a rock crawler any day. I can make better use of a truck like yours than I can a RC. Nice rig.
 
BTW, can you find someone 6' tall and have him stand by the truck and get a pic? Just so we can get an idea how tall the rig is.

That's a very similar combo to a K5 I built for Ratzila years ago, my bet is it's roughly 6' to the bottom of the door glass.

You get any death wobble with those big meats? How are your tires balanced?

No death wobble at all. I have 1.1 oz of AirSoft BB's in each tire. When they get heated up, it rides as smooth as glass. The steering is tight and drives really well. I wouldn't be afraid to let someone else drive it. Even though I don't let anyone drive anything of mine unless I've been drinking. :D It actually rides and drives better now than when I had the 33's on it. I am thoroughly pleased. :woot:
