my new play toy w/44" tires

[Skyetone]

I just bought this bad boy for 5k. chebby 350 , th350 , 44 front and a 14bolt rear. 44" truxus, 4" springs. Needs a drop draglink and the frame rewelded at the box. What do you guys think?

 

[Skyetone]

no seriosly shawn WHAT DO YOU THINK?

 

[Skyetone]

needs flares and mudflaps. I think it's a killer wheeler. low center of gravity for the tires. What else needs fixin? I DIG the roll bar ... err light bar

 

[ace]

Wow Those are some huge tires!! I like it.

 

[harkinoff]

looks like it needs some sawzall action what t-case does it have? what gears? are you going to just make it a wheeler or pavement pound it as well?

 

[Greg]

44" All Terrains, huh?

So SkyChrome really fits now, eh? I wanna see you roll this one!

 

[spencurai]

trim up those fenders, that thing is looking a little heavy for its sheetmetal.....bob the bed and trim that thing up...other than that it is absolutely ugly....so whats new right

 

[mbryson]

I think it would look a lot better with some sheetmetal damage... I hope that's a D60 in the front....


Here's your tow rig.....

Looks like a pavement pounder. You need a real front end before you touch the dirt in that thing. Also, it needs a lot of sawzall action just for street duty.

Whats the axle gearing?

 

[NoTrax]

Ugly as sin!! Chop it up and Push it up!


Those tires are insane!

 

[Hickey]

flatbed. You can do it.

It's a 44 (could be a 10 bolt though), and it's not even a 3/4 ton 44, notice the 6 lugs? Sky, you really need a new front end.

Or you can just carry two spares with different lug patterns... not to mention lots of spare D44 parts if you plan on engaging the 4wd...

If you bought this for 5K them you have to much money.

That truck is worthless!

44's and a Dana 44 = BOOOOMMMM

What does it get, 2 miles per gal?

Fess up Sky, you really didn't buy it right?

 

[Skyetone]

CRAP!!!! I just noticed the two different axles lugs.... Thats good though cuz the half ton axle will make it so I don't crack the half ton frame again right. I wanna build a rear bumper but now it needs to hold TWO 44" tires. it has 4.10's but the guy said he was waiting for 5.71's that he'd give me when they arrived. I am fairly sure it's a 205 again I didn't study it that well. If I lift it any more the steering geometry will be screwy and I will need a drop drag link... thats a PITA. How bout those tires though?? swamper really outdid themselves this time eh? did I mention the new play toy I got too?
