Fixed my speedometer. No more guessing what my speed is.
If any of you have oversize tires and the speedometer is off this about the only way I've found to fix the issue.
Commercial Speedometer in Sacramento, CA is who I purchased from, $90, a little pricey, but the speedo being off would bug the crap out of me.

I'm curious as to what size KO2 you are running. Also, how long did you take you to install?
 
Took a drive with a few folks last Saturday hunting for Christmas Trees. @Kleatus

First #Cruisemas Tree Hunt.

Few more:

The wife and boy were champs with the whole thing. Since it was the first time for us I'm glad it worked out as well as I did.

Awesome find. I think more info on what percentage you settled on would be helpful to all of us running 33" tires. Thinking that this is my next must have upgrade.
 
Two months ago, my tire on my DD blew out near Yakima and it helped me decide on new wheels. I went with the 70 series wheels from @beno and toyo MTs based on good feedback from @lechnito.

It feels like a totally different truck since the change. The 255/85 are perfect with the H55F. To quote @lechnito, “It feels like I’m riding around on top of a unicorn.”

Never realized I didn't clarify what percentage I used. Initially I asked for 12.5%, the closest gear combo they had was 12.3%. The speedometer is 1 mph off at times, but I'll take that over what it used to be.
 
Plucking a donor 2F to go into the blue 85 I picked up a few months ago. This motor has 155k and 150-160psi in each cylinder. Came out of the copper ranch truck I cut up (due to rust) the other week. The motor has not run in 7-8 years. I soaked it with marvel mystery oil, turned the crank, stuck the hose in a jug of fuel and it fired right up :). Will spend some time resealing it and cleaning/painting it a bit. The blue truck is pretty nice but missing the motor. Body has 161k so this should be a good union. Will fix the quarters, blend the paint and do some interior work. Should be a fun project.

Looking good, my dude! Time to get some mud under those tires now :)

Good looking 60 Jimmy. Looks similar to my DD.
 
The place is old school. Just call and tell them what you have, what percentage of correction you are looking for and that’s it. Nice people.
The tcase/transmission hose is from SOR

Did you post a name for this place and number we could call? I will be getting 33's come spring time. Thanks for sharing.
