Makes my eyes water thinking about it, but if thats thier custom of repaying someone for "snatching" you out so be it for me to interfere.
Wouldn't get myself stuck for quids eh Guv'na. Always knew the English including the Welsh were different but.................................

You're getting pretty good flex out of your shorty, have you different F/R spring rates,
can see a 2" body lift coming on

I think they were diff rates , as I run the back end pretty much stripped out. Just the spare and recovery gear in the back. I got them from Pedders and gave them the truck spec . and they recomended the springs from that. Allowed for winch up front .
I've done 2" body lift ;)
Sway bars are off too.

Not yet, waiting for the machine shop guy to make my new bottom pulley gizmo. Viscous fan is out and elec going in for extra space. Also looking for some kind of bypass valve too. Details soon on my charger thread :) Soon I hope .................................................. ..............

Nice pics.

I respect your decision to live in a really, really cold place - just like Victoria and Tasmania in Australia. lol.

My 40+ degree days will melt your snow, anyday. lol.

Take care and keep warm.

How many airconditioners do you use on a 40+ day? Home, car, office, every shop you go into.......... Plenty of people that "like the heat" also "love the aircon" !
