    Thanks to @CedarPark and Ryan of Heart of Texas Offroad group, my truck is now fully armored and riding on brand new Old Man Emu suspension! I'm going to drag @Texoma into this mess to help me install the Dakar leaf springs, and after that I'll have to attach the winch, but then she'll be ready for some serious wheeling :D:D:D

    Here's some pictures of the install and the "finished" project. Without the new leaves I have some serious Cali lean, but she'll level out soon :rofl:

    I haven't been to Wolf Caves yet but I want to go eventually lol, from what I've heard W.C. definitely qualifies as "serious wheeling" :cool:

    Soon! I have to do some ghetto grinding on my winch handle to make it fit, and there's a bunch of cutting left to do to clean up the front bumper. :sawzall:

    I'm already lurking on Craigslist for bigger 285/75/16 tires... :help:

    why you have to grind winch handle? Can you just turn the casing?

    Thanks man, those A/T 16's don't look bad!

    What kind/size of Toyo's you got?

    I'm not sure I can, but if you don't mind I'll bring it with me when we do the leaves and we can make it work somehow. It would be way more convenient if the handle was rotated forwards by 90 degrees, but not sure that would work.

    They've been up a month and are "OBO" so he probably wants them gone. Good luck!

    Should be able to rotate it in the direction you need. Are there screws or bolts on the side where the clutch is?
