I haven't taken Clyde (That's his name) out in the last couple weeks. Actually, we went to Pismo- that was cool. But Clyde is way too heavy and underpowered to carve dunes. Did fine cruisin the ridge.Dave your '09 is reallly looking great! Keep up the good work,
Got any updated videos out wheeling? I'm hoping to post some up after I go to Uwharrie the end of this month!
And, since I can't seem to keep a vehicle somewhat stock....I've been stuck on Pirate 4x4, and now the plans are to continue with the CTD 6BT, a 47RH trans, either 205 or Atlas (contingent on $), and then the D70 from my donor W350, and a D60 up front, both with ARB Air Lockers.
I'll move the front axle forward, B52s in the rear probably, stick with leaf springs on all 4 corners for ease and utilitarian POV (I can always replace with stock Chevy truck springs if breakage occurs no matter what part of the country I'm in), and probably move up to 40s. Oh yea, I'm going to boatside it as well.
Still need bumpers, winches, roof rack. And taking cage to frame now.
Getting my vinyl floor kit on friday, so that is this weekends project.
This will still be a streetable driver, but little by little it's going from DD to trail-rig.
You know what we say..."Fix it till it's broke!"
-Happy Trails
