Yes, everyone buy a Jeep or Yota and put 1 tons in it.

I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
waiting on the insurance card so i can get it inspected.
since its running and everything works, i see no need in tearing it apart. the only decent metal on the truck is the fenders and the hood. ill just bash those to match the rest. when the truck gets to the point where its falling apart. ill swap everything over into something smaller. my luck, i would end up like everyone else with a pile o parts and nothing to wheel and the project would never get completed. this way i have a solid drivetrain and can try to develope some skillz.

Why go 1 tons in a yota when you can go longs?

Ah yes, there's the right idea. Chop the fenders and put on some cheap tires and wheel it. Screw buildups.

+ full width = less rollover, more unsprung weight
i need to figure out what springs to use. ill post up some measurements later. whats the consensus on military michelins? they seem to be cheap and plentiful.Ah yes, there's the right idea. Chop the fenders and put on some cheap tires and wheel it. Screw buildups.
im in the middle of trying to figure out the rats nest of wires under the dash. ive pulled out about 40ft of wire that served no purpose whats so ever. theres a random fuel electric fuel pump on the frame. previous owner believed in circuit breakers, but has no idea what a wire nut is.

thats it right there^^^^
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
military michelins suck inless your doing the 54's and rocks and want to drive on the street.
These trucks came with 40 miles of extra wiring and vacume hoses from the factory.
also i sugest using the electric fuel pump and bypassing the mechanical one.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
i doubt you want to go with a 20" rim but i have 3 41" tall michelin's that you can have cheap

I like the military michelins. Only problem is getting wheels for them. You may be able to get some that are 36x11x16. There's also one that's about 38.5x13x16 but I've never seen them for sale. Looked quite a bit a while back. Guess aftermarket 20s are getting cheaper.
i was thinking about the 11.00/16. which are about 38" tall. i can get a good set for $4-500. hummer tires suck. im trying to think of other alternatives than spending 7-800+ for tires.
whats the reasoning for bypassing the mechanical pump? the fuel pump on the frame is toast, not connected to anything. i do have another good one sitting in the garage though.
i got most of the wiring squared away, or atleast figured out. i dont plan on touching anything on the engine until it acts up.
