***Edit*** I would like to change the tires. Currently it has MT 285/75/16s on 9 inch rims. I would like to bring it down to 265/76/16 but I think that might be too narrow of a tire. Does anyone know where I can order rims for a 70 series? I...
Long day yesterday but much progress made. Floor patch is back in. I’m having a devil of a time with blow through, most likely due to gaps that are too large. I’ve ordered some welding spoons that will hopefully help. Inner rocker is welded in...

Big thanks for the...

An over-due clutch replacement. A seized pilot bearing got it underway. more issues uncovered. A worn transfer input shaft caused by the input gear. Cruiser Outfitters was able to supply a new custom input gear that is one piece. It replaces the...
