    I think it looks prett good man maybe get some wider tires but I like it when tires stick out past the body on lifted trucks. Drop a diesel in that thing an it would be sikk

    Yea diesel would be so nasty but it's got tons of power with the motor it's got. And it will clear 40's but would scrub when it flexes. With a three inch body though it may just work...

    Haha no i think im going to hang onto the exhaust. It's already loud enough with mufflers. The tires are just 12.50's so I see some 14.50's in the near future.

    hahahahaha nice! Welcome to the straight axle axle, chunky tire 8 lug gang! Those wheel great anywhere you take them. They're beasts and take a beating with a smile. Throw a Dana 60 under the front and call it done. :waytogo:

    Haha if it's not a yota in my driveway it's a ford. (except for the titan) And good ole leroy is getting bags eventually. I have to finish my motor sway first though.

    Now I need to work on lowering this f250 ;) lol

    Oh, and keep those skinnies on it...I'm definitely feeling those. They're what you want for the mud, and it looks like there's plenty of it there. It makes it a bit more original, everyone has wider meats. If I were you, I'd just start by bringing the rear down about 2", that'd be it for now. I can make you some nice steel blocks and *if* you can get the u-bolts off w/o messing them up, you'll avoid 1 more cost. How tall are those blocks in there now? At least 4" I know. Or you can start by simply pulling the leaf above the overload and see how much it drops...I know it'll ride better. That's the kind of truck you don't worry about spending a ton of $ on, it's the kind you just toss the beer cooler in back, grab the lady and your gun and go hit a killer trail....low buck beast. Buy the air bags for the Yota, and a container of nightcrawlers for the furd.

    I think with the way the mud holes are here these skinny tires will get down into the bottom of the ruts for traction. We'll have to see.

    That thing's going to go just about anywhere you point the steering wheel....around, through or over. Cast iron gear driven parts rule!! That's why I tossed all my 87 aluminum 1/2 ton parts in the trash where they belong..:waytogo:

    Yea I don't see much stoping this thing. Except maybe for the fact that it doesn't have power steering :(

    Yeah that part sucks..but it'll make the truck feel even bigger. The only thing that'll stop it is the emblem on the grille....or the motor, :evil: the drivetrain is good to go. :waytogo: should have the unbraekable NP205 tranfer case detached from the cast iron unbreakable 4 speed. (with granny low right?)

    Better than a C4 :waytogo: Probably a good thing since your arms are busy just trying to get that beast to turn.

    I'm thinking about just throwing 2 inch blocks in the front of it. I have some in my shop that i made a while back and I think they'll level it out. This truck definitely is not going to get a bunch of money put into it. It's just going to be a play toy for the weekends when i'm not riding or at the track. And it may become tow pig to go to the track so i can quit hauling stuff in my titan.
