fancy cool name

[Eckert]

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.

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

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.

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.

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

why go yota when you can go 1 ton and longs?

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 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.

There is just no way I would drop 400-500 on them, if they were a killer deal I would say go for it. I would look for a used set of 40's that are in the 400-500 range.

I've never had good luck with them I guess. didn't supply enough fuel and sometimes made starting a *****.

[jerryg79]

those engines have trouble with vapor lock, i think the mechanical fuel pump is a contributing factor?

but has no idea what a wire nut is

Wire nuts on a vehicle = bad

[Eckert]

50 bux for the 3 41's, thats what i paid

are you trying to sell them to me? im the one who found the tires for you. besides, i dont want to have to buy 20's. and i dont want a tire that large.

Wire nuts on a vehicle = bad

well, a wire nut would have been better than wires twisted and rusted together with nothing at all. one hot wire was actually grounding out because it got caught up in the clutch pedal spring. thus why the reverse light didnt work.
