I thought your trip through Moab was gonna supply you with enough motivation to build 3 entire trucks from scratch. In just 2 weeks. While also working 80 hours at work. And taking tap-dancing lessons.
Maybe I overestimated the Moab effect.

Moab=MAW...
Thanks, I was really happy with it. I did put a small dent in the gas tank, so a skid plate is on the list.
you dented the stock skid or you don't have a skid plate?
This is something that I need to track down for the camping truck. It seems odd switching from the K10 to the Suburban...I think I'm gonna miss my dual saddle tanks.
Your truck did way good for being pretty mildly built. I was following you so I was just like "well he made it so I guess I can too" when we came to an obstacle. You did lose a little rubber whenever you had to make a sharp turn on that slickrock with your rear locker but that's what you gotta give up I guess to be locked.
Yeah, that noise was actually a bit comforting. hahaha
I have a torch...
Then all you need are the pitchforks.
Pitchforks + torches is a well-know source of motivation, historically speaking.
Hey @Phil513, is that rear axle in yet?
lol. No. I need to buy a detroit, and do the gear swap. And cut the spring hangers off. And weld on new ones. And get an adapter U joint. And 8 lug wheels.
But any day now.
I have to admit though, it's getting pretty tempting to move up to 37's.
Didn't you just buy those brand new 35s? Sounds like chucking that investment to me.
On the other hand, never mind. I'll give you $200 for the set.
I know. And the biggest problem is, the general consensus is my front 10 bolt won't last long if I do.
We'll see, I have time to figure it out. Even though I'm not working on it, I'm pondering.

Yeah, such words are dangerous.
Been nice knowing you, Phil. I'll see you in 5 years when you're running links, 42s, and at least one doubler.

My rear locker was chewing through them pretty good at Moab. lol
