    wont stay running

    i know on my truck if you do not give it some gas and keep it running, it wont start after that first attempt if it dies. Once it cuts off i can crank it over for minutes and nothing.. Idk if its similar to that..

    M1028 off road

    Yeah i thought it looked pretty goos myself. Its a good place to store them adn easy to access. And yes, both bumpers are painted flat black, adn the lift shackler are painted with red lead paint; which is actually orange. She did awesome! Thanks man.

    yeah i will be sure to post pics. With the np205 the 4-wheel low isn't all that low, but im sure she will still do fine. Plus, having the locker in the rear and the posi in the 60 we should get around pretty well. we have a few nice trials on our property that we take the truck down, so im...

    tuff country 4 inch lift springs??

    Hi, i am the owner of a 86 m1028A1 and was thinking about getting a lift. A 4 inch shackle flip in the rear and lift springs in the front would most likely be the set-up we would go with. The question i have is would the 4 inch HD tuff country lift springs be able to handle the load of a snow...

    New 36' tires on my truck

    i was thinking about going with some HD tuff country 4" lift springs, but being in maine we ned a plow on our truck to plow our driveway. Im just unsure if the springs will be able to support the weight of the plow and if they can, how much they will sag?
