I hate when that happens (getting beat down more than riding..) :sad: Right now, I haven't been getting out. We've had some swell hit around my local spot - but our good season is just about to start up (probably next month). So looking forward to getting back out soon as "winter" fills in. :yo...

So long my friend.. Well, bittersweet day for me today. The rig officially sold today. New owner came and drove her home. I loved the rig, it's been running great, feeling good, and looking nice as well. But life is moving and I'm finding my way into a full size truck instead. :biggrin1: Thank...

Now that suspension/steering is all updated and I've done some road shakedown.. appears all good. Decided to clean her up and take some new photos at my local spot. :yo: The ride is so much better than my old stock junk and I'm really enjoying driving her around again. I think the only other...

Thank you. Welcome to the forum. This place is a wealth of knowledge and great people. :yo: Glad to inspire wherever possible. Enjoy.

What?! Oh my... way to go above and beyond any response on a forum I've ever got. hah. :yo: You are awesome, sir. Thank you very, very much. :first:

Sorry if I am missing a piece here.. but I'm dying to find a good color match Thundercloud paint and it looks like you got it perfect. I need to do my grill as well (not a fan of the chrome). Where did you get the paint for it? Have any pics of the can for that (if it's a spray can)? :yo: Many...

Thanks! Yeah it's so nice driving now.. steering is tight, road conditions aren't as wild and crazy.. I can actually just enjoy the drive now, instead of dodging holes and wondering if every turn I make is going to be "the one" that my LBJs snap or not.. hahah! :yo:

With the fresh suspension, I discovered just how beat up my tie-rods were too. So got some fresh new Moog inner and outer's to install. Got into it today and cranked it out by noon. :) New vs Old Old vs New New new. :yo: Got an alignment at Firestone after I finished these up and...

Moog Inner and Outer Tie-Rods, and a fresh alignment at Firestone. :yo:

She's been struggling to start all week long.. so decided to go by PepBoys after work and get my battery tested. Results: she dead. :moping: Dropped by Costco and picked up a fresh Interstate for ~$90. Can't beat that. And according to the stickers.. got a little over 5 years out of the last...

Since last weekend it's been real sluggish on startup.. Felt like it was barely able to turn over. Pushed it all week long and she continued to start up each day. Finally went and got the battery tested today and determined that it was shot. Got a new Interstate battery from Costco and I'm all...

I agree with the $30 is a little steep. Definitely $20 would be prime and the company would be getting thousands of orders.. That being said, I think the pricing is probably strategic to keep orders down to a manageable level given the small nature of the business producing them. I personally...

If I could subscribe to this thread a second time; I would. hah. Sounds like an epic trip. Can't wait to see all the pics as you work through em. :D :popcorn:

You're very welcome. :yo: Thanks! I'm digging it too. I will go to 265/75/R16 when I get some extra funds.. get that overall extra inch of tire and still keep mostly the same ratios here. But for now, the standard option 265/70's do work well. The ride is still stiff a little, so it's no cushy...
