Are 37's going to clear?

With the new tube fender supports and clearanced heater box they should. Not sure about any other 37's, but the BFG AT runs pretty small for a 37. I'd guess that a project or a Toyo MT would be too big. Only one way to find out!

Nubreed71, How do you attach the 4X4 spindles to the 2X4 knuckles. Do you have any pictures of installations done before? Thanks

Still working on that...no pics just yet

Inner bushing to replace the roller bearing and let it ride on the seal surface of the original spindle. Then an outer bushing from the original bearing surface to the ID of the snout. Weld bushings to original spindle. They should be a light (.0005-.001) press fit into the 4X spindle.

Next weld ears onto the 2X spindle that the 4X spindle will bolt too.......... Or so I've heard.........

Thanks Brian for the reply, that sounds very doable.

Ummmmm yeah, that's definitely NOT how I plan to attach D44 snouts to 2wd knuckles. I got confused just reading that lol.

I probably wouldn't do it that way again either. I would just make a new upright. By the time we got done dicking around with all that we could have made new ones.

Got the tires mounted up:

Also swapped in a Sag pump and bracket. Great little upgrade. Really great improvement in steering ease/feel for a pretty minimal investment!

Looks great on 37s!

Much better. I dig it.

Swapped tailgates for one without the trim piece. Hit this one with the clay bar and a little touch up paint, and then slapped on an F-150 badge. Gonna do a Ford Badge on the lower right side similar to the F-250 powerstroke.

Thoughts on a flush mount Baja Designs S2 amber on the left upper corner for a dust light?

I'd just stick with the rigid in the bumper. Looking good though.

yeah, that's kinda where i'm leaning...keep it clean.

I agree keep it nice and clean. Have one built into your future spare carrier on the inside of the top.

Slapped a Ford badge on the other side of the tailgate. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Gathering up some goodies for the 9". Not sure when I'll actually put the 9" under the truck, but a deals on both the detroit and the gears came up and I couldn't pass em up.

I dig this truck. I'd love to have one of these 92-96 style trucks, especially in white. Seeing this one make me want one more. I've got 5 cars already, not counting the wife's.

I'm going to have to live vicariously through you. Great job on the truck.
