Done some work on my truck what you think?

[mick19691]

just seen your old tyres and rims on ebay lol

Is it still just as comfortable to drive, and is it bouncy on the road at all?

Would you take this thing on a long road trip, or is this no longer practical?

What you have done is what I plan to do.

[surfenstein]

can i just say it looks fantastic you have done a really nice job there,but am i right in thinking that there is no front diff drop kit on that,looking at the angle of your front drive shafts i wouldnt of thought the c/v would last very long.it might be an idea to fit free wheeling front hubs,just to save on any breakages.(sorry but i just looked again and it looks like you do have free wheeling front hubs.)

Its got hd torsion bars and are wound right up and pro comp 9000s so yes it is a bit bouncy, but still do take it on long trips.

Hi Vatch yes its got warn hubs and the diff has been dropped 1",but that does'nt stop the prop going round on the exhaust. So a bit more modding to do there, but I will probably put up with that for all its used untill its gets a
V8.

Mine has a 150 on the back which is awsome but uses 40 litres of fuel an hour when your towing toys. No I dont get to use it a lot I live about as far away from the sea as you can be in this country. Thinking of selling it and using the money to do a V8 conversion.
