I finally got to finish up a few details to get her back on the trail.

That must've been one scary jump down from the logpile to take that pic

Moab is really expensive! I'm glad to finally be driving her again. Just took her out to grab some lunch and the ride is surprisingly smooth. I couldn't be happier.

To get down from the logs I actually stepped on the back tire and used the bead lock lip like a step ladder. I can't wait to see how she handles the trail this weekend.

Johnny you better get crackin on those axles. You still have those 1.5 inch spacers? Ive got 1.25s on and I still have a little rubbing at full flex.

I sold a pair of spacers and I'm still using a pair up front. I'll have the second pair for sale after I put a D60 up front.

Were you ever able to find a rear axle.

It may be easier and just as much $$ to get a CUCV rear and then change the rear axle ratio. You should be able to sell the locker and 4.56 gears to recoup some cash and you can find those rears for pretty cheap to start with and they are very plentiful.

It's most likely a good thing i'm selling mine or i'd have to go 1 tons and even bigger tires to keep up with you two.

Not to totally derail Mike's thread, but yes, I picked up an early 80s Chevy 14 bolt rear this past weekend. In doing research, I found that a RDB conversion w/ebrake is prohibitively expensive ( and doesn't work that well ), so I am going to pick up a 03 14B with rear disks and an ebrake from the factory, tomorrow.

I picked up the 80s 14b for $200 and should be picking up the 03 14b tomorrow for $250.

Not sure when I'm going to pick up the D60 yet. Thinking that I'm going to put the 14b in the rear, then wheel it this summer, then move to a D60 front next winter.

Very nice man!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Mike, care to post a couple more pictures of your rear quarter cuts? I just noticed that you opened the wheel well up quite a bit.

 

[sarca]

Burt looks even better out of the garage! Badass!
