I'm running 35's with the OME 851/860 combo. It has a nice stance and the tires tuck nicely offroad. I'll add spacers when I go to 37's

Can you post a teaser pic please

Nothing you guys haven't already seen but here he is with new socks and shoes. No spacers

The steelies look nice on it!

A beautiful sight, finally got to a place I could test function.

Making it mine because I like stickers

So I've put about 300 miles on the cruiser since I got it. So far everything works I mean everything, no leaks no funny smells or smoke. UPS delivered Slee lift kit and spacers Friday but I like it the way it is now I'm in no hurry to install it. Nothing like the awesome ride of straight axle 4x4s.

Great vehicle you got there!... of course I'm biased, got the same rig! I did the 2.5" lift w/ medium springs (without spacer) for BFG 285/75/16 and fit is perfect for my daily driver. The ride is so much better. Good luck!

How's the after market leather holding up on the seats? Good looking rig. If you want to remove to faux wood dash search mud, lots of guys have done it. The light beige metallic paint holds up well over time. I have a 1993 rig same color. Congrats!!

This is my 80 with steelies and a 2.5 ome lift. Thought you might want to see what it looks like lifted. My only suggestion is to change you u-joints when you do the lift because you change the wear points and you may get a vibration at highway speed. I did but my 93 has 375ish on it but your 80 is a lot nicer. You might not

How long did it take to install lift?

Front seats are toasted, rears are mint, have a pair sheep skins on order for front. Wood inserts still look good they'll stay. Only issue I've found is radio display comes in and out. All the speakers still good but sound quality sucks.

I made it and had friend weld it up for me . it makes a little noise going down the road but I can live with it. I wish I had rinno sprayed it instead of regular base paint.

I'm on the coast so plenty salt water reds, specks, Cobia etc. I make the long drive to Norfork Ark for cold water trout couple times a year.

 

[AMX390]

I'm in Missouri, been to the Norfork. Prefer free stones and spring creeks, but don't mind a tail water now and then. Heading to the rivers of Missoula end of Sept. Love the Reds in your part. Nice brookie.

Good thing about tail waters is your almost always rewarded with hook ups. Planning a spring trip to BC for steelhead. Gonna try the switch rod thing, fiberglass is not dead.

Neither is bamboo, my preferred material. This one was caught on an Orvis bamboo 10 wgt:

Nice! Looks like Louisiana marsh, my friend makes bamboo rods, I haven't joined the club yet.
