Here's mine, took it for testing once and blew the motor. Installaing a 6.0 in it right now.

johnnywagon · 11-15-2006, 02:07 PM

'71 with 6" rear springs, 4" front w/ HD lift shackles, 3/4 ton, 6 point cage...desperately in need of crossover steering.

bouncytruck · 11-15-2006, 04:09 PM

does your tailgate say "EVROLET"?

Looks like you've kept it fairly trail scare free dispite some serious off-roading.

johnnywagon · 11-15-2006, 04:28 PM

Man I gotta put my new stick-on "Chevrolet" tailgate badge on over the old gate, PO loved the bondo! As far as "scare free", last time out I smacked the driver side rear quarter panel behind wheel well into a dirt wall. Its the first serious body damage I've done but it can be fixed and thats what it for anyway!

johnnywagon · 11-15-2006, 04:59 PM

Critter in San Antonio wanted me to send him a "level" pic of my rig, but I couldn't figure out how to do it in a PM. This is the best shot I have. Sorry to semi-jack this thread.

2wdBlazer · 11-15-2006, 10:26 PM

How about a side shot cleaned up so I can see those wheels off the trail. Those are what I want.

Critter · 11-15-2006, 11:16 PM

Thanks John. I like your setup. I have been rolling this suspension thing over in my head for a few months now. I think I am gonna go with a similar set of springs.

By the way, nice parking job. And right in front of A.Z. even, I love it!

No sweat Critter. Glad to help. By the way, as the manager of a locally owned independant auto parts store (www.generalstorespokane.com) I see A.Z. as the devil

Believe it or not within 2 city blocks we have AutoZone, Schucks and my store all next to each other in order!

But we were here first! Just had our 65th aniversary.

And you drive a K5!

johnnywagon · 11-16-2006, 06:29 PM

Thanks VTBLAZER!

By the way, I love that shot of your rig coming up the creek with the Jeeps behind ya. I love it when full size rigs get out there and mix it up with the Jeep guys.

I have personal issues with A.Z. that are too lenghty to go into here. Im glad to see the little guy is hanging in there with big business. (sorry if I offend any A.Z. fans)

Congrats on the 65th

johnnywagon · 11-16-2006, 03:17 PM
