I heard they’ll hold 37’s and have good ground clearance.

Runs good. Unlike the last one with the cracked head. I think it's push button 4wd like the last. Low range on the floor though.

Wheeled it out of the shop. Still need the rear finished might end up cutting the old perches off and putting new ones as the old ones are in roughy shape. Has a bit of a stink bug stance but once I mount a bumper with tire carrier and Jerry can holder it should level out.

these are the medium duty springs from ome which are actually designed to carry a decent amount of wieght which is good as i have a fair amount of gear that will be packed in there at all times. having two sons generally means three of everything fishing rods, axes, gold pans, etc. I scored an old military looking trunk that will live back there for gear. then there is my chuck box that will most likely live there for the most part as well. Plan is for a bumper with a tire swing out as well as room for jerry cans and a chain saw. not sure if im going with the factory roof rack or go with a custom unit
