disco12 · 04-15-2008, 09:14 PM

gotta save up but I think I will.

is there a chance that you'll be carrying them.

Nah... my biz has come to a crashing hault (hence the new job) but I'll start cranking out some deals real soon.

Get a spare tire...like the other four. You're gonna end up stranded because of a flat.

stolenheron · 04-21-2008, 01:49 PM

looking good! didnt you say you already ordered a new wheel and tire for the spare?

Ben Rover · 04-22-2008, 03:22 AM

Awesome looking truck!

Since you already have some Rovertym parts on there, is there a reason you didn't go with them for the 4-5" springs and bumpers too? I'm curious since I'm looking to replace my OME springs and spacers for real longer springs

Sa-weet!!!

Thanks Ben
5 inch springs and bumpers that's lots of $$$$. I bulit my rear and will probably do my front as well thus saving me dinero.

also I want to keep it the COG down these 3" springs net at almost 4" lift once I add the Trim packers and spring isolaters I'll be at a almost 5" lift

Rovertym has out new progressive springs from what I've seen they are tight!

looks wise is how i meant it. it doesn't really look like a expedition type Land Rover

I have spare axles and a cv. and I try not to wheel crazy.

plus being a college student 2nd year

I don't have alot of money to kick down on HD CV's and Axles yet

plus with good downtravel I haven't really needed lockers for the type of terrain that I normally wheel on.

then you must not really wheel very hard

If you were going to rock crawler look, you have too much sheetmetal.

Looks good though
