Well guys check out my newest purchase a 75 longbed, 6 or 8 inch llift brand new 36'' humvee tires

drivers side

passengers

Oh this will be my 4 wheeling truck, so i dont have to worry bout scratchin the paint

Tom

 

[mechted]

yep, thats a flattop

why is there no DS axle shaft?

 

[tomford]

My buddy broke it last time they were 4 wheelin, sheared it at the u joint, so thats all it needs to be complete and 4 wheelable.

So my next queston is where do i get a shaft for it. My buddy was sayin that i could get a new spicer inner and outter for like $140 from a local truck parts store, he was just too cheap to buy a new one.

Or what would hold up to abuse better than a stock one?

Looks like it has sat for a while huh...? not to bad though, should be a great start for a wheelin rig. What did ya have to give for it?


P.S. Sweet stacks man.

 

[tomford]

$700 but it has new tires and it runs and drives almost... The frame is Wicked clean, no rust or rot at all. Plus he said he will put the new shaft in for me, so i'll learn how to do it, so i can know for a trailside fix

D44 shafts aren't to hard to come by. If you have trouble findin one let me know i might have a few layin around still..

 

[howdiy]

Those stacks are saaaaawwwweeeet

 

[thatK30guy]

Yep, as said before, flat tops.

Shafts can be had easily and cheaply if you ask in the "Wanted" forum. And DIY on swapping it in so you can learn how to do more of them in the future.

 

[broncoman6524]

[Chevy305]

[tomford]

We will see, i REALLY want to go wheelin now i got something i can beat and not care about... Tomorrow i will start cleaning it out and some better pics.

The stacks we NOT my idea, but ill prolly leave em just because i dont feel like fixin em

Tom

 

[tomford]

Well i started workin on it today, got everything cleaned out, and it running off a gas can.

I have never had a big truck, it's kinda funny that i have to back my 02 chevy up to it to work under the hood...

I have a couple ?'s
First is that a NP205 Transfer case, and what's the pattern, for 4x4 2x4 etc

And can you guys tell how much lift i have?

Front

It's nice inside, and the dash is perfect Too

Thanks
Tom

 

[tarussell]

What you have there my friend is a NP203 not a NP205 .

Can't say for sure on the lift but a geuss is 8" lift by looking at the arch of the springs .

Tom
