My wife has been sporting a ********** for one of these vans for a while. I told her no way until I can have a xfer case and....33" tires at least? 35 if the gods are kind?

You know...Jeeps are kind of like automotive crack. Once you try one.... When that monkey starts really crawling your back let me know. I've got a J-truck/Cummins project that would look stupid wicked pulling that Willys behind. :)

In reality bedlining a whole vehicle, no matter what version of bedliner you use, is for people that don't know how to paint or don't want to spend the money for a proper paint job. Rhino Liner is heavy, and last I knew it would be ridiculously expensive to do an entire vehicle. Same with...

You think there's any interest in a J-truckmproject in here? Rolling chassis with D60/D60 rolling on 37/12.5R16.5 with the recentered double beadlocks, a factory remanned Cummins 4bt with 45k dropped in and mated to a TH475 (not a misprint) with I believe an NV231, or possibly a D300. Sitting...

Love that top pic. Face says "Me come?"

Sweet! Now you can go ahead and buy my toy hauler to house you, your business, the little woman, and hopefully a couple of her more liberal minded cute friends. :)

I think the long and short was the guy designed an E-store with a whole bunch of product pictures and all that, some keyword magic to make it rank high in search results, and then was looking to dump it. There were no supplier agreements for any of the products listed or essentially any actual...

Gotcha. I hear you on the rust. I'd much rather replace parts than do body work.

Because now you have a ready made reason to just leave those sad Chevys wherever you find them laying about. :)

If I had to make a guess I'd wager they're probably running overweight, especially the rims. Those are things most people won't give a thought to. Or there could be not much going on inside, and it may be a mini-mod, so therefor lighter. I don't remember the details of that rig. In any case I...

For a 4x4 conversion that's dang near complete, anybody that offers you significantly less than that $3k is being a *****. That is a great deal. Down here you'd have that much in the axles/xfer case alone.

My new-to-me rubber showed up today. Goodyear MT/R. Load range E, 4500#. They appear to be in much better shape than the MTs when they arrived. These tires should give me plenty of cushion weight wise so I should be good to go there. Now the fun part is going to be breaking down the old...

Anyway, I bought a set of Goodyear MT/R Durawalls Load range E. These are 4,500 lb tires. Thats way more than I would need. I'm guessing the rims are the limiting factor at this point but can probably survive a bit more pressure.

Not sure I'm familiar with this. Link somewhere?

Dont think it works that way Eric. Everything gets counted. The tire is supporting its own weight as well as the rim and everything else. If there is a deduction anywhere it may be that the rim is not supporting all of the tires weight, but I would imagine that deduction is going to be small...

Curious what makes the Quig a donor rolling chassis instead of a driver.

Goodies like?

Smashed one of my emergency lights my last trip out. I thought I mucked up the housing as well so I ebay'd a replacement (red lense) and it turned out the housing was fine, but I had mucked up the thin white foam gasket. Ah well. Now I have spare housing. I think I will try to find some...

Thanks. Yep, there's a lot of good info in here, but also a lot of me rambling on unrelated crap, and plus it's gotten a bit large and unwieldy. It's my thread, I did all the work, and even I can't find half the crap I want to find when I'm trying to refresh my memory about something.

My new to me tires are taking their time getting here and I'm getting antsy. I'm going to try busting all these down and remounting myself. We'll see how far into that I get. I tried it once with this current set and found a couple things. That beadlock ring does not want to come out. Due...
