i am interested in the low range shift fork if its still available.

Hope you made some great memories in that rig. I still have the photo of both of our trucks getting rebuilt side by side (i blew up my motor at the time). Hope the new owner does something cool with it too! :steer:

Hi, is this still available?

2nd gear most of the time, 2500 to max rpm depending on what you're climbing. 3rd gear for the flats between the dunes. Tires at 13-15psi, and average speed is mostly between 25-40mph. Once we get to the flats, its a Baja run. I'll add more videos later today after work.

The closer i got to the shop, the truck began to run worse and worse. So the teardown began. The teardown revealed the following: Coolant channels clogged with old coolant grime and dirt Block had already been bored to 1.00 Oversize Multiple cracks and poor maintenance over the years i...

So i was having a good time putting around the desert, getting to know the truck more and more when i heard a really nasty ping. I thought it was a carb related problem but then i noticed the amount of black tar being spit out of the exhaust....I didn't think much of it at the time but it was a...

After getting the AC sorted, i wasn't happy with my ride height so i decided to re-arch my existing leaf packs until i could source a good new set. The results were alot better than i expected. No more @$$ dragging like a low rider, now i had a "2-inch" lift, nice and level.

Miss the dunes and the BBQ's man, hopefully this quarantine thing ends soon. :steer:
