Maybe the first Wildpeak R/T01 tires to go on an 80 Series???

Stoked how well they installed. Minimal weight was needed to balance.

Wow!! those look sweet! I have had my Wildpeak AT3W for over 5 years now and about 50+K miles and they still have a ton of tread left. As good as those look I don't think they are 3 peak rated and maybe not the best choice for Minnesota winters. But who knows...the tread pattern and siping looks like it could handle winters pretty good.

You are correct about not being 3 peak rated. I never see snow or even colder temps so it was an easy decision.
 
Not quite the weekend project, but I just got my @Delta VS 3L arms installed. I am very fortunate to live near @2KCruiser as he really came through for me!! Everyone knows these guys do great work! I had previously used some caster correction plates that required some notching of the mounts. John waved his magic welder wand 🪄 and made the notches disappear!! POOF!

Had the alignment today to check the caster spec, and I am at a perfect +3.0 with a J Spring Lift!!

John is legit and so is your 80 homey! 🫵🏼🫵🏼
 
Got new shoes for the ‘97 after blowing one of the GY Duratracs on the highway. They had over 50K on them so it was time. Went with Yokohama Geolandar MT’s in 315’s. Very quiet and smooth riding compared to the old GY’s.

Did some suppressed shooting with my Henry Model X 357/38 and Chiappa Little Badger TDX 22.

Heads going back on a rebuild, block needed .007 thousandths taken off to make it smooth again. My little helper handed me the ARP head bolts one by one with her broken arm.

Are you boosting it once it's rebuilt? I'm just curious why you went with the ARPs.

Your helper looks handy. Mine are all in their 20s now, except my youngest girl (17), and they roll their eyes when I need cruiser help.
 
They’ll do…

That's the second exploded Duratrac I've seen on Mud today. I can't believe people still buy those :o
