hmmm, never got those notifications.....
ok, upon further life evaluations, as much as it pains the inner "build the brain pic" in me, I'm gonna refrain for now on all new susp/axles/tires...
I just have too many financial/health "projects" in the air right now... I NEED TO GET OUT OF DEBT... I also have some hefty dental bills that are staring me in the face too.. tho, I may still consider popping on those axles as I think it's a damn good deal for down the road...
sooooooo, here's the revised plan...
got the ds painted today.... you can see i did the new black door handle last week....
including squirting the rusty tailgate real quick, just so it would all match....
still need to pinstripe it.... also need to get in the ps door for that window motor and black handle install...
over the next few wks, I'll find time to pull those ds wheels off, blast em and paint em argent.. than rotate em to get every last mile out of em...
that brings up the revised running gear plan..... even rotating the tires, I really should look to replace them before next winter... that brought up the big dilemma..
being I'm gonna hold off on the lift, what tire to run... if I trim the front bumper, I could prolly run 35's... BUT, I think the rig would look pretty goofy and disproportionate..
so I'm thinking of going from 32", 75 series, to a 33" in 70 series.. inch bigger in both directions with a Toyo MT.. probably in oct/nov...
and, this happened the other day.. almost took out my new gas tank.....
the other rear mount is about to break off too.... I ordered both upper mounts from Jeff's.. they'll be here during the week..
soooooo, I'm gonna do shocks soon.. but being i still want to lift it down the road, don't wanna get crazy..... gonna look to get some of the cheapest monotubes I can find...
