Bought another truck. Spent some time on it,think I will part with it. Kinda like having two women and not enough money to go around. One will suffer.

Took green to ride with some jeeps. It did as well as any. Power steering hated new locker. Drove 100m there then back ,wheeled 8 hours. Fluid was clear when I got there,black when I left. Vbelts are the pitts.

Well changed a couple of things around. Got a second set of tires mounted up. Going to hydro assist for the steering.

The valve stems are a little longer than figured on. Might change to semi flush ones. Plan is to beadlock these wheels in future.

Ive always liked black D-window wheels (actually lookin to buy a set for my truck). If your muddin those tsl's have high reviews, i see them used alot. Even at truck pulls.

I really like this truck. That's a solid list of parts/upgrades you've put into it so far.
