    I think I have a picture of my kingpin D60 next to a 2005 D60 from a Super Duty while both were being built. Mine look like a twig by comparison :D

    Stick has been proven to get better penetration anyway. Even for big welding jobs at Pearl Harbor, they will sit there with a rod oven and burn sticks all day long.

    Yeah the 14bolt seems like the way to go these days. Honestly I will probably just drop a Front range Diamond in rear and see what happens.

    haha Yeah I have been lurking on here for a few years and new I'd get some:crapstorm: when I posted my truck. But after the hazing is over I hope to learn from you guys...Just an old dude who misses straight axle trucks, my 2nd gen was paid off so I said why the hell not:D

    That's what I'm thinking. Run the stock one till it blows up and save money for a 9.5" diamond, with disks and parking drum.

    ...Or save some money and find a full float FJ80 rear with disks and build it. Hard finding good shit in Hawaii tho...

    Yep I was impressed with how burly the FR axles are, I know they are no tons but should be just fine with 37". Maybe one day when its not my DD I will go tons and 40" but guess that all depends if I brake the Diamonds first.

    Granted my diamond 9.5s will be going under my 85 but they are pretty damn close to a Dana 60 and just as heavy

    Some of the climbs out there can get steep.

    Yup great place but really only like 3 or 4 obstacles that were challenging for Ugly Betty.
    Oh course the right side of DeWoody is better left to buggies on 42+ tires.
    Like Alex's dirt squirrel ~

    She's on her own weight!!! She is sitting a bit low at 19" to the frame with just over 3.5" of shock shaft showing. Gonna bring it up an inch. @1uzrnr laid down a ton of welds today. I can't thank him enough. Still got a long ways to go but this is a huge milestone and I'm pretty excited
