    Reworked my rear shocks to make em / \ smoother ride now. Think I'll get some adjustable shocks later on or go coilovers and link the truck with slightly wider axles

    I think my truck might be getting slower sometime down the line. Got a gear driven transfer case. Now I need adapter plates. :spy:

    Had some 3/16 plate laying around I got for free so I finally decided to make partial rear frame plates.

    Made some lower shock mounts with some 1/4" plate. Double shear mounts instead of the welded on bolts that were there as a temporary fix. Now for some Moab prep. Next would be another driveshaft to use as an extra DS/highway DD use

    Not too bad actually. The wheeling is nonexistent so I've gotten back into dirt bikes. I'd like to make it back to Moab at some point.

    I'd like to get a dirt bike or another ATV.
    There is this upcoming Moab event. Or Maybe even next year.

    Thanks. I can still DD this thing. I've used it to get fire wood, hay for my horses. The bed is 5' so it can still be used.
