Well I finally had a free day. It's been WAY TOO LONG since I last touched the truck. But today I mangaged to get the 14bolt semi mounted(only temporary) and got the 60 put in and the front tires on. I even got to flex it a little. I could belive how nice it went, I know there isn't any weight on the fron tyet but we had 2 fatasses standing up there so we made up for it On to the good stuff
the 60's in
my new "custom" tie rod...it's the anti-wrap bar off the truck when I got it.
and the great mounting
There she sits...14ff, dana 60, 6in springs, 2in body lift, 39.5x19.5x15in boggers
it's first flex...dad made a great motor
Not bad for stock length 6in springs...I know the other front tire is off the ground but my weight got off It actually had alot more flex left in it. I was no where near the rear fender and the back springs were just starting to unload. I'll grab another angle picture tomorrow

yup those are the MRW extreme duty beadlocks.
I'll always have the blue blazer. It's been part of the family longer than I have.

well the UPS guy has been by alot lately. After delivering my steering yesterday and then my axles today, he said he's switching routes because I order too heavy of stuff. Onto the goodies......
Full crossover steering setup, Super beefy tie rod and tie rod ends courtesy of North West Fab. This stuff is great can't thank those guys enough. They make some beautiful stuff and I think Max was right about me not worrying about bending this tie-rod.
and today arrived a full set of brand new axles from AlloyUSA...of course with a set of 35 spline outers. All for the dana 60
I actually got these a couple weeks ago. 2--Full 5 point harnesses, 3in shoulder and lap with a 2in submarine. Big thanks to the guys over at Pyrotect. They put these together while I waited and gave me some good advice on mounting them...they really knew their stuff. They are really nice..if you're looking for belts make sure you check them out.
hopefully gonna get to work on the truck tomorrow. so watch for some more updates
