Nice looking 85! Welcome to the forum!

I think you mean 58" Slider. If you had 73" inch ones (they dont make 73 either, its 67 and 78) they would touch your front and rear wheels.

Needs dual cases and moar tire imp:

Duals are for weenies.

This is a sweet truck. Capable, not overbuilt, I love it.

 

[ajohnson]

Thanks! Actually they are 63" I just looked them up. I must have fat fingered the keys lol good eye.

Need you to go to meet so I can buy case.

Thanks man I appreciate it! Still can't wait to have them setup though.

I can't make up my mind about redoing the suspension first or putting duals in. I'm not happy with the limited travel I currently get.

 

[ajohnson]

I would try to get the suspension and dual cases done at the same time, because you will need a new long slip front driveshaft built/lengthened with RUF springs. You will have to do it twice if you do one and the other later.

 

[4Running15]

I know you keep telling me that and I keep not wanting to listen lol. That's just a big investment to make at one time.

you only install them at one time.
you collect the parts separately.

No kidding. On my budget everything is a big investment.

 

[4Running15]

I ordered 2 differential breather locators from Low Range, but they only sent me one. My half doors should be ready by the end of the week :thumb3:

Nice. Hopefully we won't set this thing on fire next Friday, if I have the day off.

You and me both. Which reminds me I should figure out how to get a fire extinguisher mounted to the roll bar. I'm gonna order a Blue Sea breaker tomorrow along with the other electrical gismos.

 

[4Running15]

:wow:

 

[BigBluePile]

Sweet project!

 

[4Running15]

Headed out to URE this weekend!

My new favorite mod: cup holders.

 

[4bt40]

Nice well rounded rig you have there! I like those doors.

 

[Hyde802]

Nice job on the doors! Cut nice and low too!

 

[ajohnson]

Yea I thought they were cut a little low like you said, but that looks good! And they match the fenders FTW!
