You leaving the cluster black? I like it. Not stock but I like.
 
Pic below of a 40 with an OME 2.5" just like mine, and new BFG KM2's, same size as I'm thinking, 33x10.5x15

Definitely the right tire.

Question is, white letters in or out??

IN and ask them to static balance the wheels so no weights on the outside of the wheel. Looks 1000% time better.

in for sure. Bodean is the only on that can rock laces out.
 
Rock them laces out son!
 
Tell me that you have a new shifter knob for the t-fer case. That thing is gonna look awesome. You are getting close man!
 
This 40 definitely went to the right owner!

Doing her right!
 
Finished the harness work today, slow day at work so got my electrical guy and we spent all afternoon untaping, repairing bad spots, and re-taping. Turned out good.

Also replaced all the bulbs, lamps, etc.

Good thing we did the wiring work this cause there were a lot of spots just like the below.

You are my number #1 cruiser hero this day.

You are in good company.

Ha, thanks. I really am enjoying this, hopefully she will actually drive one day.

Never was much of a model guy...was always hunting.

Started on the wiring install today, So much of it was disassembled when I started that I have lots of 'where does this go' wires. Gonna be a pain in the ass...

Like my old man used to tell me......."Boy, if it was easy, everyone would do it." :D

You definitely have the knack for restoring this rig! :clap:
