Very true - but only a slight bend...the grass was about 3-4inches high in the side lot. Easy bend back ;p exercise fixed it. Darn car sits so low that I had to be creative onhow to get it on and off the car hauler
.
Nice ride Jon!

MotorTrend was able to squeeze out 5.8
. If I hit the lottery then I'd throw a turbo of supercharger on it...All over the place actually. Some in my driveway/garage, one in the neighbor's driveway and the truck/trailer has been relocated for short-term storage.
I guess it's good to be the HOA president!

Friend of mind had one of these before I left Cali. He was determined to beat my time at the willow springs track and my time at the 1/4 track in pomona. Never quite got it there before I left but he did sink some money into it and I believe managed a sub 5 second 0-60 and 12.89 at the 1/4. He never made it to the willow springs track. I'll see if I can track him down and find out his mods for you.

Time for an update
Now that the 80 is sold and the r32 is headed to PA later this week I finally have some coin to get back on this...
Truck is now at my house in Durham. Hood, fender, bib, windshield and other parts have been blasted and I'm super happy with how rust free they are. Kinda surreal actually.
Working on pulling the tub today and tomorrow. Hope to have it to the media blaster later this week.
Tore down the spare front axle last week and dropped the third off at east coast for them to install a fine spline pinion and arb. Hope to get the rear third to them soon for a fine spline pinion and locker.
Also thinking about wheels and tires...trending to trail ready headlocks and pit bulls. Thoughts???
Pics to come one day this week.

Before pulling the trigger on ARB's i'd seriously look at the TJM's that finally hit the market.
I really really like the fact that the acuator is a piston bolted to the bearing cap, so there are no seals inside the locker or o-rings that require removal of the diff IF it were to leak. Also there are no spinning parts that are also sealing Air.
Most people in Oz swear that they are better than ARB's and right now since TJM is trying to break into the NA market again most places are selling them at $100-$150 cheaper than ARB's when normally they are about that much more expensive.
Just food for thought.
One of my wheeling buddies runs Pit Bull Rockers on his buggy. They are a good tire. I think they work as well as, if not better than Iroks. The only downfall I have seen with the Pit Bulls is they don't clean out well on a muddy trail unless you have the power to turn them over quickly. TSLs or TSL SXs still work better on the wet and muddy trails around here.
And you can't go wrong with Trail Ready beadlocks.

Tires 
Just ordered 5 Iroks - 36x13.5x15 bias for 900 shipped...couldn't pass that up! They are new but are cosmetic blems. I would've gotten the pit bulls but they were like 375 a tire
Might order beadlocks now that I saved on tires

Thanks - bought them direct from Interco. They have a link on their site that shows the current blems that are available. I try to check it a couple times a week and finally jumped on tires this morning.
Nice. I've got it in my favs and I check it from time to time too. Super deal.
Holy crap those are smoking deals... just nothing in a set of 4 for the right size for me.
