It's not too heavy, the front axle is supposed to smile like that.

A 2H is in the ballpark of 700-750 lbs. 6BT Cummins about 1100ish. That’s only about 400 lbs more. Not that much considering I’m 275 ish and cruisers don’t break a sweat when a couple people my size jump in.

It just throws the balance and makes it crappy off road for the most part. Also eats at the vehicle load capacity. 400lbs is significantly more load for springs/shocks too.

If it's got a 6BT, then that can be removed and a 4BT installed. Sell the 6BT, and you're ahead...... if you can find a 4BT that is

Does that even make sense? Unless of course a person has some kind of unlimited budget. Wants to spend all their time
working on it instead of driving it. It's got the long springs, so theoretically weight shouldn't be a big deal. But I'd invest in
this, or a proper year kit:

Don’t forget to compound turbo it also!

I've ridden in that truck! It's beast in every aspect. J

Tires seem to be coming up a lot. I guess it’s because I searched for 215/65/R16 tires on 5x100 rims.

Not the normal. But I’ve got a an older Danby 22 Cu Ft deep freeze for sale. It’s got the thicker 3” walls and was running just fine right up until I unplugged it and emptied it on Tuesday. $100. Located in Nanaimo. But I’ve got a truck and would need a bit of help loading it
Pics are exactly how it looked right after I unloaded it and before it melted. Usual frost.
SOLD.

A truck for sale in PG that looks like it could be a reasonable project:

For Sale - 1985 BJ70 LHD Canadian spec

Up for sale is my 1985 BJ70 3b 3.4l diesel in good condition 380k km 12 volt, 5sp manual h55 2 owner truck, first owner was adamant about keeping it stock Some body cancer in the rear quarters and rockers, some minor frame rust but a good viable candidate for a restoration, but the rust will...

Bet it’s an 8274… I wouldn’t argue about it being a “5000 lb” winch.

Anti theft device fail imho. Since when is a clutch needed to drive a stick. Only thing that might slow someone down was a clutch depressed switch to start.

 

[cruiserpilot]

^^^What a piece of junk. Someone actually asking money for that winch? Good grief. Dime a dozen,

I'd agreed... given I paid $330 for a low hours, working, 8274 on a mount, with remote, and a fairlead $275 is asking for Lau ball offers.

“cars are ruining the planet and going to kill us all”

Don’t worry about getting your fossil fuel burning vehicle stolen, worry about getting your air polluting planet killing suv tires deflated. These virtual signalling libtards don’t drive, probably never seen a manual transmission other than when their parents drive them to the Ferrari dealership to glue themselves to the floor or middle of the freeway.
