The Green Machine - parked

Don't worry about it.


Its just web wheeler info.
Ah, gotcha, the kid in his pj's in his mom's basement blathering on that he knows all and everyone else is an idiot. I know the kind, we had one here some time back, we still make fun of him.

Its a good thing my room is in the attic :whistle:
 
I got those wheels on a deal they had the chrome covers on them was planning on using them as a start for bead locks.

Pulled the stainless covers off them then put a 40 on one and test fitted it.

To much back spacing to work so sold them to Riley for $20 for all four I think. So he had a set of rollers.
 
So, aside from the transfer case and drive shafts, it's done! Got the new front end done up, new tires, new exhaust and I'm rolling!

needs an ass lift but other than that I'm in love :D Low slung 1 ton solid axle swap! Sweet
 
I'm going to get some ORD zero rates for the rear to both lift it a touch and move the axle backwards an inch, it sits a little far forward right now. And I'll tell you what, I can't wait for those front springs to settle, they're stiff!
 
if they don't come down a bunch, you will need more than an inch in the back. Maybe different springs, or add a long leaf, slightly longer shackle and zero rate. Dunno. You really want the rear just a smidge higher than the front
 
It still has a bunch of junk in the cargo area in that picture, I took it all out and now it sits a little better:

But still, I think with settling and a zero rate out back will nearly level it and fix the axle location, then with the addition of an ARB front bumper and winch it should then be sitting low in the front.

I do plan on hauling a lot of gear in the future, but that will be when I have a family and all the gear that comes with that. And when that time comes I'll make a custom self leveling shock if that can be done or air helper springs to keep it level.
