Oh...

V8 looks good!

And you don't drive fast enough to need good brakes! lol

True, very true but my rig is heavy AF!
One day I'll get around to getting on the scales...
I know Neil was curious lol!

Wow, Chris. That's a little different for you, isn't it?

A little

Before/after. 2" Van Compass lift, Fox's in the rear, Bilstein HD struts up front, new steering and lower ball joints. Tires are 245/75/16 KO2s.

Nice appearance and quickly done, foresee any issues with tire rub?

 

[ujoint]

Rear of the front fenders may rub a bit, will ck after alignment. So far it has passed the parking lot test.

I think I liked it better lower with smaller tires.

We'll be attending the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival next month, bringing a few rigs up and looking forward to a nice weekend away!

Ha ha, sure you do!

I like smaller tires... I've only got 33" tires on my Fj40 with minimal lift.

Over 1.5 million views. This has to be some kind of record. Is there any thread on Expo that compares to these numbers?

There are, the post your van pics does by a ton.

6.0 SMB is back from alignment and AC charge, ready for miles and then she's headed home with a healthy 6.0! We did ball joints, tie rod ends, re packed the front axle bearings, all fluids, rear ARB locker, Fox 2.0s from SMB, oil filter relocation, gave it a good once over.

And...... this will be our last 6.0 treatment! Unless its a major resto job we don't want to do them anymore. Changing directions and trying to simplify things here.
