One more poser shot.



Well, it sure is loose in the suspension.  Going to add some shocks to see if it helps. 

Got a coolant leak where the previous owner removed the heater core plumbing.  Going to completely remove it to stop the leak.

The proportional valve is leaking also.  Need to get another one from a junk yard.  Not paying dealer ship prices.

Time to put the bead locks together with the tires.

Figure out a cheap way to paint it.  I am thinking my home electric sprayer and some black paint.

Also... the small tires and both tcases in low... tops out at like 10mph.  :-)

Ignore the graffiti.

[Blazin40s]

Lmao!

[four_by_ken]

So, I went outside and painted the beadlock rings.



Got a little ADD while waiting for them to dry enough to paint the other side.

So, I attacked with the spray can.  I am afraid to see it in day light.  But I wanted to get rid of the graffiti.

Its always cool when people pick a cool name for a truck, then sell it and people keep the name and add on!

[four_by_ken]

Damn, that's a lot of work.



Got one done.

I think we all have gotten ADD at one time or another. Some more often than others lol

So, I had to move the Thing to finish cutting the grass...

For thrown together, I am pretty happy.  Made it to the deck of the trailer with the rear tires still on the ground.

The 44s are going to make the rear end a lot wider too.  Those are dually rims on the back.

Now let's see it witht the 44s on it!

I know!  Two bolted together, hopefully another tonight.  Beadlocks are a pain in the ass.

[Blazin40s]

If you don't like em, I guess I could trade my 40s for em

[four_by_ken]

Finished up the beadlocks with enough time to bolt them on the truck.

Front clearance looks good.  Major interference with the front of the rear wheel well.  Off it will come!

Need to grind down my front calipers some more.  Little rubbing on the rim.





I'll get some better pictures this weekend.

Sweet ken!... u also could order up some 0 rate offset add a leaf.  That should correct the location of the rear axle.  And solve yer rubbing issue.

There is MAJOR contact.  Like the rear tire is touching the fender just sitting there.  :-)

Probably going to just cut the front of the rear fender off.
