Should fit fine, but you may have to massage/guide it as it lifts, so that it winds up where you want and doesn't interfere with anything once it's in place ... especially if you have a hitch installed. If it's an especially large tire for the size (like some of the Treadwright re-treads or...

Don't get me started on the R51 lust ... though my particular desires tend more towards the V8 models (looking at you mallthus ... also one or two others that have been floating around and are more built). I'll be following this thread, simply on principle ... lol As for tires, my short list...

Awesome ... that's what I was hoping someone would chime in with! The fact that you've even got parts to facilitate it is just gravy. ... and I'm really enamored of your idea to put a Chinook body on a late(er) model chassis ... there's a fella here on the ExPo forum who did just that, but...

Very cool

Good stuff here, missed it the first time around. I'll just be over here, though, drooling over the trucks we can't get here in the US.

Very cool ... I'll be watching this. I think it's awesome to see some of the older stuff getting some love around here. I've not spent much time around 620s ... is the engine bay big enough for something like a VG30 or 33? Or even a VQ? I know it's not strictly needed, but I'd think with the...

Nice Pathy ... very cool to see some more old(er) stuff; I sure do love those two-doors, though.

Thanks, appreciate it ... that worked great. Now if I were only seriously in the market!

jericho99: Incidentally, is your Pathfinder the V8 or the V6? ... and can you talk a bit about how it pulls the Moby? What's the typical towing weight of the trailer?

I don't see the pics in that post ... bummer.

Agreed, great picture of the Bronco ... cool to see that thing out and about. That front end sheet metal conversion is going to be great, as well ... very cool.

Looks like Wheeler's Super Bumpstops ... at least for the front: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=84146 More discussion here: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=155002 ... nothing about a specific option for the rear, but I bet if you spent a little time with their...

There was one other one I saw on NewX, that seemed very similar to Timbren at a better price point ... I'll have to see if I can't dig it up. Then there's also generic extended solid bumpstops (like the Autozone option you mention, though I think there are several manufacturers for this...

Rides great ... like I said, the front is probably better served by something other than the Ranchos I picked up; but the rear with the General Spring packs and the 5100s is noticably better than what was on there ... not too hard to improve that, though, with 100k on the stock bits. I also...

General Spring HD Packs (need 2): http://www.generalspringkc.com/product_p/69-293hd.htm General Spring Bushings (need 4): http://www.generalspringkc.com/product_p/hb1110.htm General Spring U-Bolts (need 4, choose your configuration ... stock has 11/16" nuts, so 7/16" wire dia; 3.25" axle dia -...

Also worth considering the full replacement leaf packs from General Spring ... they have three versions: 2x4, 4x4, and 4x4 HD. I'd consider them to be stock replacement, vs. lifted packs, but they'll be at your door for $500 (IIRC) ... including required bushings (which they make you order...

Very much one of my favorite U-Joint vans. Kudos.

Awesome work on the louvers ... I didn't even see them in the first picture and said to myself: "Didn't this thing originally have hood louvers?" It really looks great ... sounds like the kind of work where an individual line-item may not be particularly noticeable, but the net is something...

Awesome, I'm glad that worked out ... Steve's a really cool dude & is doing a great job filling a few little niches for products that are needed (IMO). Now, if we could just get his design/production talents on putting together a strong/light/unobtrusive/high-clearance/winch-capable replacement...

For some reason I thought you already had the Dakar packs ... that should be a great addition; and since you got the MDs, if you decide they're not enough, you can always add the HD leaf later ... what they don't make plain is that the only difference between the two is that extra leaf. So...
