Thank you.
As for the shroud, it barely rubbed and nothing was hurt by the "self clearancing". I guess I am just lazy.

I guess the rust doesn't really bother me. It has no ill effect on off roading capabilities, and I don't feel bad smashing up ****ty sheet metal. I have no desire to own something that has a clean body on it.

Balanced the tires last night. Wow those Hummer tires are junk. I had never seen a tire machine ask for a 9oz weight before.

17"x8.5" H2 Wheels with 315/70R17 BFG Radial All Terrains.

I didn't think I would, but I like it.
Ncie build man makes me miss my old burb. what are you going to do about the rot on the body?
Power wash it, and spray a fresh coat of Krylon over it. Maybe. Depends on how ambitious I get. I really don't care what the body looks like. To tell the truth, I preferred how it looked with the stock 16.5 wheels, but those tires I had were shot. I stumbled across a good deal on a set of 17" tires, so I needed some wheels for them. That is when I went looking for the H2 wheels. Then just by chance I found these with brand new tires on them for $500. I think I will just run these BFG's for awhile. I'll still be looking for another set of H2 wheels though.

I've been driving this a lot. Pulled a few vehicles around on a trailer. It runs good for having an OEM computer and chip with no tuning at all. it could run better, but that is for another day. That being said, I blew out the front spiders in my Dana 44 the other day. I can't decide if I want to drop the money and put a Dana 60 in it, or spend (waste???) money on the external hub Dana 44?

It's still 2wd. I really should fix that.

Picked up a 4.10 SRW for $650, and a 4.10 DRW for $550. They're a little crusty, but complete.

Damn. You are going to have a bitchin' fleet of 1 ton rigs.
Due to Chris's prodding (78SWB^) I went out an put the SRW Dana 60 under my Suburban this evening.

Where my Dana 60 was sitting around 6 pm.
Loaded it up in a pickup box trailer I need to take back tomorrow.
Backed the Suburban in the quonset, jacked it up, and started the disassembly.
Dana 44 out.
Dana 60 in, then the tired old hand me down camera died.
