So havent been on in awhile. this post is more like what i have gotten done in 60 Todays...lol.

Made the commitment to go to 1 tons. Hp dana 60 front w/ spartan locker, 14 bolt rear w/detroit, and 4.56 gears. 14 bolt was already built to those specs so for now i matched the front. Ended up finding a killer deal on 39.5x15 TSLs, and was going to try and run humvee 37s on street. That plan failed when my tire rubbed the tierod. Since we have very strict fender laws here, she now sits as a trailer queen.

Very nice!! See if you can find a set of H2s and 37s to run on the street. I don't have any issue with clearance and I only stick out about 3.5" on each side with a full width d44 so with you having the Z flares you should be almost completely covered. I do love how you painted the wheels tho to break them up but still match the truck.

Yeah the 16.5s need special high steer due to them being .5" smaller and the deep backspace but the 17" h2s seem to clear fine.

I got the 37s, 39.5s, rims, another tierod dom kit, the highsteer arms for reallllly good price. Couldnt pass it up. Id like to swap high steer arms eventually and get rid of spring. Might correct it. Kinda easier this way though, can wheel more times before things need addressed. To stressful maintaining a daily.

So, I just got the "Wanna-Be" TB a couple weeks ago. Got the intake gasket replaced, new thermostat installed, oil changed, and electric mirror switch replaced.
It felt good driving it this morning since I really hadn't put any miles on it to speak of. Then, I look out the window and see a puddle... can't see clearly yet, but think the water pump is leaking now. ARGH! Maybe I should have called it the "Money-Pit".
Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend...

Replaced pressure side power steering hose, found a vacuum leak, checked fuel pressure, put in a new battery cable and greased the front end. All in 2.5 hours.
