Hey Hp, I'll trade you my mud grapplers. They say 35" but they're really like 33 or 34
2010 VW Jetta - DD, 5 Banger, 5 Speed, 1000 Watts of sound!!

My mom has decided to pay to fix my radiator for me as a birthday gift, which was very sweet of her, so the radiator situation has been taken care of.
I'm still looking for a junkyard where I can find a good 130 amp 3g Ford alternator so that I can go ahead with this 3g swap I have been reading about on FSB. Hopefully this will fix some of the truck's electrical issues. If anyone can recommend a yard that would be wonderful.
While I'm there I'm also going to be looking for a fan shroud and/or any other sweet deals that seem too good to pass up.
I've found a fiberglass top with the sliding glass windows for $100. I'm planning on picking that up on Wednesday.
Colman - do you have any free time this next week to show me what I need to do with my front driveshaft?
Corey, you have a pm
Still looking for a decent set of 33's

Save yourself the trouble and buy a new alternator. I know they are expensive, but it will come with a warranty.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Not sure what you mean by decent set of 33's but I have an old set of 4 33x 12.5x15 that have been sitting around for a while. I dont remember the brand but they are a fairly nonaggresive all terrain. Still had decent tread. I just want to get rid of them $50 takes all four they are on chrome wagon wheels 5x5.5 bolt patter. pm if youre interested
if he doesn't take those 33's i want them. where are they located? even if he gets them i will probably end up delivering them to him ***
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
Tommy- I definitely want the 33s. I'll drive to come pick them up for you, let me know please!
Jerry - It's not so much the bigger alternator, as much as it's the 3g alternator. The 3g ford alternators have internal regulators and have less problems than the old 1gs (or at least that is the consensus on FSB.) I've had many people there tell me that the 3g is pretty much the only sure-fire way to get rid of the quirky electrical system in my truck.
Plus I'd love to have a jammin' sound system
Also on my to-buy list are some new gauges. I'm looking for a Voltmeter and a Water Temp gauge. If anyones got some laying around, let me know.
Frick- Fair enough on the alternator, but can anyone recommend a junkyard for other old ford parts?
EDIT -- oh, and I need some shocks, can anyone find me a decent set of 4 on the cheap?
