62 wierdness

[euclid]

Okay, GT, now back up a little bit and show us the entire truck!! Please?

Ok, since you said please.

The damage to the side of the truck is becasue David's cajones are bigger than his brain. A direct quote I witnessed from his passenger seat in GA earlier this summer.. "Hold on, I am going to give it a shot.. we should be able to make it in 2 wheel drive." We almost did... almost. The right side of the ARB got moved back a couple of inches by a tree.

Going to BHCC in the beat 62 but it now has new glass. Running 35 MTs all the way! I drive the road then the trails then the road. Your outlook changes quite a bit when you just dont give a s*** about the truck anymore.

David,
Couple of things. How did you clean the charcoal canister - per FSM? Beeing a mud newcomer, I'm not familiar with how your truck is set up and would like to know as 35s are in my truck's future. I barely scrape by with the 34x10.50 LTBs with the OME heavy suspension with minimal rub on the front inner fender wells. I do know of one 62 w/ OME that runs 35 MTRs and he hasn't done anything else to gain lift and clearance. I've been thinking a 1" body lift will give the needed clearance to run 35" Swampers without problems.

I have a custom mix of springs. Strted with OME med duty. Added a custom leaf (long) and extended shackles about 2,5 over. I pulled a short OME MD leaf and added an OME HD med leaf. I will scrape once in a while on the fender fts but the sawzall will fix that. A 1" body lift will fix that. I followed the FSM and the cannister cleaned out fine. I tried it on another and it would not clean out and required replacement.
