[CandyPants]

What's the new stuff?

New Reid knuckles, WFO Concepts steering arms, all new bearings and seals, chromoly axle shafts and probably new spindles cause mine are in bad shape.

Hells yea.

New inners and outers? Which ones did you go with? What u-joint?

 

[Bodean]

This s***'s too damn expensive!

No s***, man.

Yes, new inners and stub shafts. I decided just to go with Yukon. I can buy 3 sets for the price of RCV's. The ones that are in there have to be at least 10 years old. I figure 30 years for 3 sets is a good deal. The u-joints are Spicer Life Series...pre greased option. The damn CTMs are just expensive. I worked with WFO Concepts out in Auburn, California to pick everything. Good folks, highly recommended by Georg.

Found a tow rig. It ain't a diesel, couldn't justify the cost based on planned usage, but it should serve my purposes just fine.

F250, 4 door, 4x4, 460, short bed, and its my favorite body style.

Going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon, will report back.

 

[wngrog]

Will you line all your vehicles up and take a picture? I'm lost.

 

[jynx]

That actually might happen now that its been suggested. I'd have to get on the roof or take the drone up to get them all...

I was also told one has to go for this one to stay. Anybody need a 1985 F150...

 

[offr0adlim0]

4x4? Extended cab?

 

[jynx]

Its a 1985 F150 4wd. 300 I6, 4spd, 2" leveling kit with new rear leafs and shocks all around on 33" bfg km2s.

I have rattlecanned it a different green, I will have to find a more recent picture. The body has some dents and dings, but is all there.

Inside it is a basket case. PO put some crummy guages in and only the voltmeter works. The dash had black velvet glued on that I pulled off and I have no idea if the AC works, heat does but the ducting is all eff'd up. Honestly it is what it is, a beater farm truck that is good for hauling the garbage off on Saturday and making runs to the co-op. Generally starts up pretty easily, unless its cold, then it needs a little assist from the magic can.

B!tch be cool!

...and call Onur

Hey watch it!

Dudes and dudettes:

Big favor from my favorite clowns in the whole wide world:

@Beastiethe70 is in a photo contest with Overland Expo with her BJ70. She could use a little CLC support and I would, as always, be happy to provide beer in recompense at Roundup.

Any help is appreciated. Because @Beastiethe70 is #EAF

Best Shot 2017 WEST

This is Beastie the BJ70.....
