adjusting drag link made a big difference now the rest i believe is just the interstate on 2 lane hwy drives perfect
Now start saving your money for lockouts.
They made a world of difference on my deuce.
I got my AVM's from C&C Equipment in IN.
Clint had an awesome price.

Great idea on the wheels.
HEMTT? They're worlds easier to mount tires on than stockers!
That's what I had and man do they fit and look sweet.
I mounted my 395/85R20 Michelins in my garage! :)
There are stamped steel wheels out there, too.
You just have to have someone mount the tires on 'em. No big deal.

That being said.....you gonna flip the hubs in the back? While you got it down.....might as well.

Probly will be the hemtt wheels and I plan on flipping hubs with them. I can right now if I do the tire will hit the bed. I know they have to be alot easier to mount my 14.00r20s on than the stocks that was a job

That's gonna COMPLETELY change the look of your rig.
Awesome, man.

How much are HEMTT's going for now? They were fairly reasonable back when I got mine Spring of 2010.

I'll PM you where I got mine.

I had no idea it was messed up. Couldn't tell driving down the highway.. Never tried anything where I needed the front tires to pull..

Truck looks great by the way.. And a HEMTT wheels will make it look even better..

No big deal I should have checked it but didn't think about it. Id rather have the kit in than the spag anyway positive engagement and front and rear pull same speed instead of front slower. Thanks on way it looks its about to get new paint job soon as I get a weekend with no rain

Going back with the camo scheme, or maybe changing up to desert tan or just an OD or old school green?

I did put the new hood hinges in the truck, did I? The ones on there seemed to have a lot of play..

I talked to BJ's buddy Ross and he said he's a hard working guy. Ross also said he works fast. Judging by this thread I totally agree. Good thing he is going the three color camo because I'm going desert tan.

BJ, maybe you could help me with my bob project? Lol.

heres the first coat of paint will do another tomorrow then still have to get the brown and black but i went to sherwin williams and had them try to match a good peice i had from under the hood and they couldnt match it. so i took there color chart and matched up close as i could and the color is called secret garden in satin finish and a100 exterior acrylic house paint. i painted everything but the side boards also need to mask everything and finish but the bottom two board all the way to the back i did paint boards and its a real close match
