My burb got a little makeover
I just got done with the latest round of mods to the Burb. I finally have 4 wheel drive again ( stinkin electronic t-cases with drivers side drop ). I swapped in a 14 bolt rear with disc brakes, Ford high pinion Dana 44 up front, and
38x15.50R16 Mickey Thompson MTZ's on MT Classic II wheels. Also did a little body work and sprayed the primer. Now the real work begins on the body with the block sanding. Should be fun. The black is what I started with.

Re: My burb got a little makeover
The lift is a 6" Softride. It's the only thing left other than the body and frame that was on the truck when I bought it. Both axles are moved back 1", which gave me about the same amount of additional clearance as another 2" of lift would. I like the tires as crammed as possable! The front axle is out of a 78'
F-250. What in particular would you like pics of? I'd be happy to post them up.
