Took my K5 to the park today
Took my K5 to the park today, too bad it wasn't an off-road park. Sadly we don't have anything like that close by.
 Had to take a few pics      Did a little photoshop touch ups to get rid of some of the areas needing repair   I am just enjoying the heck out of driving this K5. Not much to look at but to me it's just about perfect

Re: Took my K5 to the park today
Looks good to me! Good enough to drive, not too good to take in the woods.

Re: Took my K5 to the park today
I like the tires (I'm trying to make the pizza cutters cool). Wait til you get the top off and go for a cruise!

Re: Took my K5 to the park today
I noticed that your front axle seems inline with the rear, is there something about the 8 lug hubs that narrow the front in or am I
? Oh and how much lift again?

Re: Took my K5 to the park today
Yep, they were hummin' barn9, then I started to turn onto my dirt road and it didn't quite make the full turn. Well, made the turn but it was a very wide turn. Didn't feel right so I hopped out and my tie rod had come off on the drivers side - thank goodness it did that right on my drive rather than out on the highway!
Jtrux, the lift is 4" front springs and the rear axle has custom perches and 2" blocks to level it out.
