If I can get 265/75/15's or 16's on mine with a 2" lift I may keep it that way based on the looks of yours. Nice.

I want to know who did that camo. Seriously.

Actually a 265-75-16 is a 32x10.5x16. It does rub with the sway bars off of it on max stuff, but not horrible, it hasn't really even scarred a tire.

Ok, so today I gave it a bath, and also got 3/4 of the ugly peeling purple tint off. I still have 1 side window to go. I have decided on doing hood vents, and to put a door back on it, but go with a 97 up door. I will be measuring for the hood vents soon, and get some pics up.

Does it rub with the sway bars on when driving on regular roads? Sharp turns?

It will rub the lower control arm on near full lock left turns, more backspacing, or wheel spacers would fix it. It only touches the fender on full stuff, a little more fender trimming would cure it.

Ok JCR Steering box brace, and Uni-Body tie ins on, and Kryptonite Front diff cover on. Will take pics tomorrow, the stock steering spacer was broken. Also back flushed the cooling system, and gonna do a water pump tomorrow, have a problem with it heating up at idle speeds, as in can be running 60 mph and take out of gear and temps will creep up, rev it back up and temps go down, same at sitting idle.

I have finally got my temp creep fixed. What would happen is at engine idle speed, regardless if you going 60 mph, or sitting still, the temp would creep up, rev it up, cool down. I put a water pump in the truck, this fixed it largely, but still would creep slowly. I tried putting a small 1/4" hole in t-stat, this really helped. After noticing the aux fan is supposed to come on at 190F, and it didn't, I checked the voltage of the sensor at 210F, and it was spot on at 2.5 V, so the ECM is not grounding the fan, but I turn the A/C on and it comes on. So next I jump pin 87 and 30 with a paper clip, and 210 is all it ever got to, so I will find a more permanent solution later, also am thinking of doing a flex fan to help this thing stay cool at low speeds.

Picked up a spare




Door off from last trail ride, and all purple tint off



Also have got JCR's steering box brace on, but pictures of it didn't turn out well, too dark. My stock one wasn't broken.
JCR Uni-Body tie ins, I wish they were longer than they make them.


My $50 kryptonite diff cover



Gotta cut out the bad spot, weld in some new metal to reattach the door.

Dang! The level of detail in that camo is amazing! It looks like the window trim and the windshield wipers are painted different camo patterns too.

Based on the exposed chips I see.. I wonder if this ever lived wearing the Dodge electric blue.

I dunno, I got it painted like this. I would like a nice paint job, but with this being pretty much a woods truck, I will fix the cam if it ever needs it.

Exactly! PO already broke it in. These are wheelbarrows anyways. I just thought, who would step up and camo EVERYTHING like trim and wipers? That just carries so much character.
