So did square D just get shoved outside in the weeds to make room for this one?!? It does look really good though. Kind of afraid to say I am also in the camp of "leave it alone". It's probably the best example left. But we all know you won't. So at least let us watch the train wreck!

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Do the tires in square D still have air? Did the shop owner that moved shop ever move the truck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I started watching the walking dead series and I see old trucks like square D sitting in over grown grass and it just sounds like a good idea. We park it in front of the gate at the hide, anyone who sees it recognizes it as a sign of safety ahead and can come with hands held high as we know done will be there to run us over with a green tractor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know if I have the time or "drive" to tackle that thing anymore. So much else that I do is more important. I mentioned that there is a "problem" with the thing that is nearly insurmountable, and aside from that when I finally get it done, it will only fit two peeps.Kat suggested yesterday that I remove all the expensive parts, then install a "Normal" engine and transmission and give it to the oldest pre-ranger as his first "Car." That suggestion is actually gaining some traction in my mind...
Guessing he meant a v8 5.2L gasser?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_LA_engine
Sell those bumpers, shed about 1000lbs and then the 318 might be able to move it too.

Nice looking suburban there Chief. A coworker of mine has just enough lift on a f150 to run 285/75r17 Toyos . I think they measure out around 34.5”. If I remember correctly he gained over 5” at the frame from stock with that setup. That is a darn good sounding compromise to me. A tire that size shouldn’t have any trouble clearing with this BDS 4.5” kit. (the link will pull up the 7” kit but there a tab to see the 4.5” version)http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=5&mo=5&ty=1&yr=2001-2010Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So Tate what happens when the axle is hit with the punch? Does it break the c clip?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You know, thinking Don is getting soft in his older age. I mean we used to Dot for pages and now if someone comments about his stockish looking tires in one post he gets all uptight!
