Tech: It's easier to drive 2hrs to get your other radiator than it is to repair the one your fan just went though...ask me how I know!:bang:

Howdy! My spring hangers are in the stock positions, just swapped front to rear. I have just kissed the fenders a frog hair, but not enough to do any damage. I have had clearance problems with the leading edge of my running boards. I did have the trimmed up to clear my BFG AT 35 x 12.5 on 3.75 offsets, but when I went to the 13.5 Krawlers on 3.0 offest, I had to go back and re-trim the little rascals another 1/2 inch. John
 
Thanks for the comments!

The 55 with the dog is mine, she is a purebred Doberman named Sable. The other 55's are owned by my closest of friends, Lloyd light green, Eric black, and Brian "little" dark green; one was missing as well- Kirk in a green/red one, next trip?

I prefer the stock setup over reversal esp. for off road. Pressure=traction works for me?

Tahuya is pretty fun but needs some rain to really make it slippery, I prefer things to be more technical

dirty pigs

DAMN...I want a 55 too!! first I gotta get our 62 fixed [was rear-ended before memorial wknd].

for about 2 yrs or so, I've had my eye on a 78 55 that I'll need help if I should buy...pics to follow soon [probably on another thread].
details of the pig i want - it has surface rust all over, no engine or t-case, but straight body, all doors n windows intact, except for windshield.
