Okay... you are officially GAY!

Let's take that out on the dirt and do some of that 'flexing' you speak of.

Finally getting some work done on the truck. Almost finished with the front, then getting a bed cage/spare tire holder done for the rear.

Looks good. You should change out your steering shaft for one from an XJ. It will get rid of the ragjoint and replace that with a u joint. 15 from a junk yard. Fast simple swap. Will make the steering a whole lot better.

I can try! I leave Santa Barbara at 5:30, so it'll probably be a bit after 7, but sounds good

Other than some painting to do, the front is done. I really liked the way it came out, everything looks very clean. :Thumb:

NICE, are the shocks bbcs from poly? Looks like 15"ers, I'm considering those. You can't beat the price, but I'm skeptical about the quality. Give an update after a few runs, also are you going to add 52" or 56" springs to maximize travel? It's an easy upgrade.

Yup, those are the bbcs, and so far, they ride great!

I've had the 52's and 56's for awhile and they flex and ride excellent! Next up is adding a bed cage and spare tire hold :)

PS, I didn't do the work, it was a friends shop

I haven't gotten any trail time on them yet, but they ride very well on the street. They've got a "firm" but not harsh feel.

Stuffing the 40's. Need to take about another 1.5" off the rear fender than I can easily make it up to the top step. Still had more compression on the front bumps and the limit strap on the passenger side wasn't even tight :Thumb:
