    Might consider the transmission drain/fill as a recent Death Valley participant had his 1st gen trans temp light come on in Saline Valley and it was the only fluid not changed before trip departure :anonymous:

    Alignment would be the only other thing I'd suggest if you are changing Inner TRE's and rebuilding your UCA's.

    Also give your belts a good looking at and check all the fluids (level and color). Power steering, brake fluid, coolant, ect.

    If I can only choose between those two, I'd go with the Coopers. I don't really trust off-brand tires. Also, ATs tend to be better for the type of terrain we have in this area.

    I'm not sure if they come in that size or not, but Falken Wildpeaks are in that price range and I love mine.

    Im sure its not that bad. Probably a lot of "have you ever used drugs?" "are you a felon" ect type questions.

    Ours is a pain in the ass. Have to tell them about any international travel in the last 10 years, places lived, few other things. And have to have dates. And if you forgot about that trip to canada....you get to go to a nice interrogation room to talk to a nice man/women about why you didnt list it lol

    Balls. Rear is a LP ford. Not going to do a kit. I'll probably do stage 1 as a leaf sprung, then go to links later. I mean, 20k just in parts isn't going to happen overnight.

    Also,
    There is no stage 1 or 2. There is only stage 2
    Buy once cry once!
    Just collect the parts, then do the build all at once.
    I’m guessing 1 year knowing you cuz u don’t f around

    A lot of those are the same question asked 9 different ways to see if you can maintain the lie. They only want fuckers that can maintain.

    No, Jim.
    Remember my lessons.
    Aside from real estate, do not buy until u can buy it cash. That goes for cars, clothes, etc...
    Remember the 3 F rule
    If it floats, flies, or fucks, rent it!
    Takes longer but the no stress.
