now I need a compensating sticker lol truck rides good but the tires are not balanced, I want to get it driving perfect and then I will add on my hydro assist.

also tinted the tail lights at last week, just clear coat with some black paint mixed in, came out very nice!
 
My vote is for # 3 kills two birds with one stone.



I assume your talking about the locker/ears,


well I decided on 5.38's, I do like the idea of just biting the bullet and having a Detroit in the buggy, and putting the powertraxx in the truck
 
Man I absolutely love your truck. I think you said you have plans for a new bumper, what are they?
 
mostly, I believe I owe somewhere just over 4k on it, I decided to just keep the payment, its just over 100 or so a month and its finally building some credit history for me. If it was to ever get totaled I would buy it back and use the pats for a 4 seater buggy.

6.0/4l80e/205 locked and geared hp Dana 60, locked geared disk brake 14 bolt, 3 link coil front with pan hard, cross over, rock crawler rims and 41 inch iroks..

lots of potential:D
 
ah finally finishing up o this thing,


Monday I get to pick it up. Now 5.38's front and rear:D

tuesday, off to the driveline shop, getting the rear a bit longer and putting in the front..


ordered the twin stick cable shifters from nwf..so when those get here its time to tear the t-case down, seal kit, twin stick anda couple more gussets on the crossmemeber...

and rounding out the new goodies I am putting a detroit i the buggy's d-60 and and putting the powertrax from the buggy in the white truck.


so left on the short list..re-work front springs or give in and do coilovers, rear hanger install, remove blocks and a spring wrap device..oh and bumpers..

really happy about the gears, the 5.38's put the truck back to factory rpm range
 
It finaly has a front driveshaft!:eek1:

Now this damn 205 is driving me nuts..needs a rebuild,, I am going to wait till the cable shifter kit finally shows up to do it so I get it all done once and twin stick it..


so onto the big issue, the rear springs I get the truck back from getitng d-shafts and the rear springs need attention, currently have a shackle flip and a 4 inch block,

ideas

custom deavers or alcans $$$$$$$$..simple solution though

new lower hangers in the factory spot "ugly!"

invert the stock springs under the frame, bmmer is it is alot of fab and the gas tank may stop me from doing this, or I could go to the 24 gallon tank to clear it "this idea sucks" but it would be the almost free option.

airbag trailing arm set up, $$$$$$$$, exspensive, lots of fab, would ride great, and tow but the travel would have to be limmited even with tripple rate bags to keep them from getting destoyed.

any input??? or Idearrs:confused:
