I would like to do a sas and get it up a little higher with some 35" tires at least.The tires I have now are 32" that is about it for the lift it has now.I want to put a cage in it and make some bumpers and rock sliders. I had to fix the exh they have a flex joint were the two pipes meet under the motor that was rusted out so when I replaced that I also removed cat and put a 2 1/2" turbo muffler on it that seemed to make it run better .I bought it off CL " alternator draining battery will not start" I took my trailer out with a battery stuck it in it took a little cranking but it fired up ran rough for a while till warmed up drove it around the block every thing seemed okay for over 200k so I bought it. And it does charge battery had just died. This one is a 5 spd I have another one that is a auto with a blown trans bought it for spare parts but I may stick a 350 in it with a auto and make that one my dune rig. I really do not see this motor being able to turn those paddles. They are 21.50x15 and about 33 tall. These tires started all of this I pick them up dirt cheep and was going to make a V8 rail they are 6 lug wheels so I started looking for a rear end and found that the Rodeo and Passport have a Dana 44 so that would be perfect . Then I learned that they are full frame trucks and seemed to be a good low cost wheeler. My tow rig is a 89 Ford F350 crew cab that I put a 97 5.9 cumins in .It is pumped up a little before I did a hybrid turbo upgrade it dynoed at 260 hp at the rear wheels.
Are there any fire roads around us that get deep snow that are not gated off. We used to go up to Larch Mt the one in Ore and take the road from Bridalveil up to the snow gate on the paved road . I would be Pushing snow grill deep with my 74 chev pickup . Looks pretty cool when you back up and you see a imprint of your truck in the snow.

Heck yeah!!! Sittin on 35's, SAS with a d44 front will look sick. I'm kinda partial to "unique" vehicles. Take lots of pictures throughout your build and post them up on the build area of this forum. As far as snow roads, we may find snow on our Dec.6 Christmas Tree run. Tag a long if you're available.
