I've owned the truck for the last 2 years and don't have the time to use it as it should be used. Jonathan Ward performed a major rebuild in 2004 with all new components and very few miles since then (130,000 current miles). This would be a perfect long range travel truck, stable, dependable and...
Got a set of Jim Beedon's heavy duty tube steel single rail sliders, with custom angled ends to match the wheel well curve. Never mounted or used, complete with plates for bolt-on installation. I added several coats of rust proof paint.

I bought a set of the single tube sliders (no step) last year, never mounted them. Added several coats of paint. Asking $375, pickup in Santa Monica only, they weigh a ton. Complete with mounting plates and hardware.

TLC has done a number of trucks for J Crew...
even an Icon. The tan pick-up was the first.
Last time I was there, they were prepping the fjc's for use by the Trail Teams.
I spoke with ARB USA last week about my OME spring noises....
and the fellow said it was their most reported problem. Then I asked if the current Dakars had the poly pad at each leaf, to get rid of this problem, and he said no. I asked why not, since it would seem to be the logical solution...
it helps to have some heat shield material...
on the floor pan, either underneath or on top of the pan. Especially just above where the catalytic converter and muffler sit, both are heat sources.

I am considering replacing an old set OME springs because of the constant popping and creaking noises.
The TIC's have pads between each leaf to get rid of the leaves rubbing on each other, and the space allows washing off the spring pack after a run.
I had the TIC's on a series 2a a few...
I cut some 6" holes evenly speced, located at junctions of the tubing floor: that way, I could loop a hook or a cord around the tubes and tie the pelican cases down. Also had a wedco can carrier that was bolted to the king suff.

Got a set of six used black nascar wheels, 16x8, excellent condition, only road use, no dings or gouges, paint in great shape.

Pickup in Santa Monica.

Only a couple of months old, 95% of tread still left on them, almost new condition! They are 285-75R16's, 2 are pre KM (spares), three are KM's and one is brand new (the spare), no wear at all.
New these puppies are $195 from Discount Tire, $975 for a set.
Asking $575.
The bad part, way...
Tried a 16x8 black mojave on my 62...
and the TRE hit the backside of the rim, no backset on the 16" size. So I'm waiting for a 15" wheel (-19 backset) to see if that works better.
