    Got my sliders welded on today. They're the TrailGear Canada ones if anyone is interested.

    Now I'm ready to tackle this trail in reverse so we can try this as a hill climb.

    Thanks!

    Got my new tires put on yesterday(duratracs) and the shop said my wheel bearing is real bad(its 2 months old) and both my lower balljoints need to be replaced before they can do an allignment. Needless to say ill be getting a different shop to take a look.

    Thanks!

    My buddy and I are planning a big trip into the states in July, hitting up Blackbear Pass, Moab, and other sweet places. So between now and then I have to finish up all the overland mods needed for the trip.

    Looking for help. Need to replace both rear wheel bearing and seals and brakes. Going to be cheaper swapping in a 14 bolt chevy rear end. Anyone who has done this want to let me know of things I should know? I'll probably do a 63 swap too while I'm at it.

    Id like to regear too, so trying to find a good deal on a rear end and gears for the front is a pain in the butt around here.

    Yeah it isn’t cheap. I’m geared to 4.88 but with the weight of my truck and tire size I’m just planning for the inevitable break of the rear end. 14 bolt with a shave seems like the ticket.
