That's a heck of a rig, brother! Wish I had the mechanical skills to accomplish something like that.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Took her on a voyage north last week. 505 miles 15.4 mpgs. Shot 900 rounds. Not bad seeing as they haven't even cut yet!

Yeah man. Haven't had that much shooting up there in years. Usually we spend the first day trying to find a good spot. The first place we set up we were still shooting 10-11 hrs later. Good time. Glad I had UBC'd my bbls.

How about tires? I'm running 4.10's too but my tires are 235/85 (around 31.5 to 32" tall)
I run around 2660 RPM at 60 mph. I'd really like to run under 2500 at cruise speed.
A couple of the tires I'm seriously considering are 255/85R16 which is around 33.3" tall, and 215/75R16 which is just shy of a 35" tire. Basically a 35x12R16.
I am concerned about the width of the 315/75, I really shouldn't mount them on my 7" factory wheels.
Anyways, what I'm getting too is I'm also considering a gear change, thinking maybe 3.73's....

I'm running 35" KM2's. I have no idea what I'm turning at 65 but it's up there. The stock torque converter in these trucks are 75% efficient so I'm winding her even faster than necessary. The TC I'm going to get is something like 92% efficient.

Getting ready for hunting season. Camping last weekend. The girls loved it. They even slept in the back.

Picked this up Friday. Had to drive to Portland to get it. 17hrs round trip. Kinda sucked, but the price was right. I'm going through the whole thing and hope to have it going in a few weeks. High steer to come.

I've been making progress on this old junker. I bead blasted the D60 and painted it. Bought all the parts and got her tore down. Got the king pins replaced and that's where it sits. The thing that I'm really excited about is the adventures we have planned in the next few months. First up is a get away with my wife to the coast crab fishing. My folks are taking all three of our daughters to visit my twin brother in Minnesota and we are taking full advantage. Second is a trip to Modoc County for some Sage Rat shooting with my two youngest. I have been wanting to do a sleeping platform with a custom roll out tool box as the base, but it'd be expensive and just isn't in the cards right now. So, with these trips looming, I figured I had better get cracking on a storage solution as well as a place to sleep. It aint anything you fellas haven't seen before, but I am pretty excited about making some memories with my girls. Since I don't have a tailgate I felt these would be a good addition. What do you guys think?
