no rust. not on the frame, body, or accessories, other than a little rust on the winch cable guards on top..
truck sees the trail, and it shows. some scratches, and a small speck of rock rash on the drivers door as pictured. RR door was previously repaired prior to my purchase. I don't have...

Long time no post.
Putting my 80 up on the block. Located in Denver.
Not perfect, but turn-key. 10,500 Needs no mods to go anywhere within reason. If you came to moab last 2 years, you saw me on all but pritchett and the like.
Cruiser...
ended up never doing it. damn thing is too tight in the front still with no sway bar. I decided to leave it to force the front to work more until I retain the springs. I punished it real hard this last week, but I still have the emu shocks. I haven't figured out how to redo the shocks to go 14"...
take off your spare, bury it, and you will be amazed. Yeah it's work, but it will anchor the truck. You can also use the spare as an anchor behind two rocks and such..
great week!
thanks to everyone who bought tickets for the raffle truck..

caster will only be affected for the most part on a radius arm vehicle, by either the frame side mount, the tube, or the mounts to the axle tube. You would have other symptoms...
well, IF I still worked in a shop, I would say that truck has something bent.
Cross caster is the problem. Does the vehicle pull? With that much cross caster it should pull to one side.
Look for stress signs on the frame and mount points.
second suggestion to 2bad's
put a plate aft and before your cat mount plat. If you're coming to cm07 you can ck mine. YOU WILL NEED THIS in the rocks. PERIOD.
Also, be prepared for some flex on that style mount around the cats... Ask me how I know.

dude, don't get me wrong, I am totally into what you are doing here. I was just shocked myself when I did what you are doing, then drove the vehicle 'round town.
It was 100% traceable back to the tire carrier. I was just letting you know it was a shocker for me to get THAT much flex out of the...
