That's disgusting? You have been sheltered poor child. None of those pics are a hundredth of what I have seen. Being a marine I am a little brain washed about blood and guts not being anything to make a fuss over, but even before I joined I wasn't grossed out by anything, when a pair of hedge clippe...

I love it, paint over body damage and 33s with no lift, it looks great though.

I've asked my dad to take some pics of mine, it was even close to the pulley but I got it to work without joining two together. I don't even remember how now but I know I did buy like 5 or 6 hoses to take home and try that I thought might work and one of them did. I just went behind the counter at a...

I have heard so many different things about stock rims I don't know what to believe or tell people. Does anyone no shit know what stock rims have so I can pass the correct info. I have hear 15x6, 15x7, and 15x6.5 just for size; and have heard 3.5, 3.75, 4, and now 4.5 on backspacing. I know there ar...

I think you are doing somethat none of us have really done, it would all depend on how and where you are mounting them and how much lift you need.

All of what Nobody said and yes it is just as hard on your bearings to go to one extreme as it is the other. it is usually you suspension and steering that limit you backspacing, if your axle has very long knuckles then when you turn the tie rod will come in contact with the edge of the rim, and lik...

I worked at a Christmas tree farm for two years trimming them all summer and saw some pretty nasty stuff. We used machetes with a foot and a half blade and a foot and a half long handle. We kept them really sharp and some people couldn't swing them right. for the tops of trees we had a little 4x4 ku...

Would you be able to take a measurement of your springs with you truck sitting on some level ground. I am really thinking about using those instead of the ones I have and am going to experiment with leafs till I get the flex I want. I don't know :wtf: I was thinking back when i decided what gears to...

You can't adjust your backspacing, it is determined by the rims you buy. When looking at rims it should say Backspacing or BS and then have a measurement. It is the meaurement from the back of the rim to the mounting surface. The backspacing determines the offset of the rims - the less backspacing t...

I had some 33x12.5s on some 7 inch rims (not recommended and most places wouldn't even mount them) I don't know what backspacing I had but it was close to stock. I never wore out any wheel bearings, and before that my dad had the same tires and rims on his truck without any problems. 15x10 rims aren...

In that case think 97 was the last year for the TTB wasn't it? I don't know about swapping the crossmember but I know I have read that to swap from one to the other you need the mounts that connect the beams to the frame and can't use the 2wd mounts for 4wd beams or vice versa. I would think it shou...

doubler fits nice, D-shaft angle won't be SOO bad. Who needs a radiator support when you can use your radiator for support right? I just hop you put something in front, behind, or on top of your radiator to support the front end, but I think it will get plenty of flow with no obstructions.

Like Broncoo said I would just try to find a solid axle to swap in. You can use either a Early Bronco Dana 44 or a High Pinion Dana 30 that can be found in some jeeps to keep it the right width up front. The EB 44 would be easier than doing a D35 in my opinion, and the D30 would only require some we...

I don't think with either of those setups I could get the lift I am looking for. I really don't want blocks back there and will have to see how it flexes now. I may just remove a few leaves and drop both mounts a little more and use a longer setting on my shackle so i keep the same height I am at an...

mine is an aluminum radiator that I got from Summit, it is one of their summit brand universal ones. I just measured what I could fit and got the closest thing. I have a tranny and an oil cooler in front of my radiator, the fans are pretty low profile. When i get home I have the boxes and reciept fo...
