It's on 35s in the driveway pic. It's on 33s in the other pic. I put a custom aluminum radiator in it a few years ago, and it made a big difference. The factory one died a pretty brutal death...as did a few other front end parts.
Overall it's extremely clean, but it does get wheeled. It's got an ARB in the front and very tight trash lock in the rear. I haven't made up my mind whether to sell it yet, but if I don't, I'll end up putting a Detroit in the rear. I'm ready to get out and go get it dirty. Been working too much lately to do much of anything but work and sleep. I'll have to get some better pics of it and post them up.

Logan, for now to save money and time, i am going front steer only, full width for better stability on the hills and such and 44 TSL's and Boggers, after the suspension is done i am gonna swap it over to propane to help with the carb stutter problems i have now and maybe a cam swap, and gonna hold off on the 4 link till after the summer so maybe i can get some good rides in and see what else that comes to fix or tweak

Rider

PS I still need some tires, no luck on pirate or pavement sucks, if anyone runs across a good set of 44's drop me a line please

I dont know how far you are away in Tenn. but we have access to lots of used tires, specifically TSL's. Shipping would ruin the deal on the price but if you were close enough maybe drive???? Give me a call if you want.
