Thats a pretty loaded question. Haha. Depends a lot on driving style and where you wheel. I feel my set up is pretty good for my tire size, I really wanted to stay narrow. But any more tire size or horse power and I probably should have went with one tons.

I like the creativity with "sourcing" the chains from an F550. Badassery at its finest!

Thanks! They were free lol. I figured Id try my hand at making some before buying some. tractor chains are expensive!
Got the rear shocks and bumps re done and tested. monroe 13" "f250" shock and f250 towers again, but this time so the shock doesnt bottom out. Made some bumps from some scrap and some energy suspension bump stops. Same ones Im running in the front. For $13 for the pair, you cant beat em.
I ended up making them a bit to long, but just trimmed the bump stop to compensate. they hit the u bolt plate right between the nuts when the leaf is just past flat.
And awaywego.
Trees are for traction buddy.
I was told there would be more snow here (its about 2 hours south of my place) thats why the chains are still on. Another week or so up here and they will be off for the season.

You're giving me a lot of inspiration! I picked up a 89 pickup as a parts truck for the wife's 90, and now that all that remains are axles and a carcass I am entertaining the idea of making a bush truck to beat up around the woods. I might need to borrow an idea or two from you, thank you !

Heres a shot of my beat old tires. I've been running them for 6 years. 3 have tubes in them. Still have ok tread, but wicked dry rotted. This is the worst one. Thats the tube coming out through that gash, been wheeling it like tis for about a year and a half. Keeping my old tires/rims as spares for now.
And on to the new
My friend with the table did the welding also, as hes much better than I am. Also had him close the valve stem hole up so I could move it up to a more accessible part of the rim.
The back side, I used short 1.25/.453 stems and a 7/16th drill bit for the new hole.
They say to use silicone on the bead to help with leaks, but through some webwheelin, I found some one using this stuff. Says its flexable and isnt too hard to dismount the tire if I need to, so I figured id give it a shot. I did both beads just to be sure, and also 2 wraps of gorilla tape on the inner bead. Just trying to be proactive while everything easily accessible.
And together they go.
Im usually an all black everything guy, so the yellow ads a nice pop of color to the truck.

Been wheeling a bunch.. and the 3.0 is getting a little tired. Shes been nose up too long too much and getting a little knocky. Going to keep limping it along and start prepping a 3.4 to go in. Ive gotten 10 years of solid wheeling out of this ole 3.0.

Same climb from the other side. Local hard climb (at the jungle in Bethel Vermont) , this was my first time making it. I havent even tried in years because of how quickly it can go bad. But it was hot and the rocks were sticky and the wife and I strapped in and gave it ago.

3.4 time I suppose
