The bumper looks great. There's no feeling like saying "I made it myself."

Looks slick! Even if it's just for show or not. I love seeing head turning

Hail to throwing on some 285's!

I've been out mud holing with 265's every week for the last month and a half on stock gears.

Keep up the good work dude!

I love seeing this stuff!

The biggest reason I don't think I'll have to regear is my CRD. Cant wait for that hot tune this winter!!

Trust me, even with a tuned CRD you will have to regear, maybe not 4.88s but 4.56s. Atleast 4.10 if you dont wanna buy a steel diff.

Its the tranny that gets unhappy.

Good to know! I know too much on Fords not KJs, so I appreciate the info I can get here!

I am LOVING my 285s!! They don't rub at all during normal driving (and I don't drive it like a grandma) and they look great! I am going to throw 4.10s in it once I can find someone part in out a gasser here locally.

And to everyone who thinks it's a mall crawler...

Love the #mallcrawlin pic!!!! Looks real good too.

Im guessing your running 285/75r16?
Im also glad your going with 4.10 gears, gonna help some.

Yes 4.10s will help some, but even with 32s I wish I had 4.56s most of the time

4.56s get really expensive.

Being without ain't anything to be ashamed of. But it's damned inconvenient. And while it won't buy happiness, it's a lot more comfortable crying in a Mercedes than a Yugo!

But id rather wipe my tears with the cash i saved by buying the Yugo than to buy tissue paper while im crying the the Benz.

So,what're you saving the cash for? A night in Vegas, or the grand kids to fight over?

It's only getting 4.10s because it doesn't need a steel diff for what I'll be doing in it. I I want to go have fun, I'll finish this!!

4 link rear, 3 link front. coils front and rear (soon to be coilovers), 5.38s, Air lockers, 203/205 with a tripple stick, hydro assist, 460 w/Vortech supercharger, built E4OD, custom bumpers front and rear, long bed bobbed to the length of a short bed, boxed frame, custom trussed Dana 60/10.25, and way more then I'd like to remember paying for.
