Tim, I was wondering... do you need help getting those tires out of the back of your truck?

King 2.5 x 14 with internal bypass. Purchased from Downsouth Motorsports.

Tony, good thing your 4 Runner is about done, else is would be about to be put on the back burner.

 

[Bloo]

Well, that doesn't look like those will make very good espresso...

 

[Skrewball]

Purdy!!

 

[TCinVA]

I hear you, timing is everything. Those are amazing.

 

[matzell]

and I thought I had some cool shocks!! Lookin good Tim

 

[mwalls54]

ah so thats what the new suspension seats look like. Dont look too comfortable.

 

[HeadCase]

wow...nice!

 

[Jester]

So I've been told my updates are a bit behind...

Cam came over last Sunday and helped me get the main hoop tacked in. Then we bent the tube which will mount the shocks and define what the back of the truck looks like.

Check out the new tires! I tried not to exclude any potential tire sponsers...version 2.0 will be called Super Duper Krawler Grappler Wrangler Dogs. I got tired of using full size tires to check potential spare mounting options.

Vince hooked me up with some inspiration but at the moment is proving to be more distracting. Hope my DVD shows up soon before I wear his out.

 

[Jester]

Picked up some OME springs from IPOR which I hope will net some much needed up travel in the front. I used stock 86 rear springs up front which are almost dead flat already. These should give me 2 inches of arch to work with. The HD overload spring is likely coming out.

 

[Jester]

Overload out compared to the spring it's replacing. This should be an improvement.

 

[Belair]

Progress,progress...glad one of is making some! I need to come see it in person

 

[Jester]

New springs are in. I'm a bit confused though. They were only 2" lift springs AND I took out a 1/2" overload but somehow I got about 4" of lift. Truck is too tall again. I think the second overload is coming out.
