Progress Pictures

[fng]

Hey all,
Just a few pictures to liven up the zone, seems kinda dead lately. This first picture is of the STA Super Lugs I got from Berg Tire. Man was I happy! By order of appearance its used, new, used, new and a quarter for reference.



Next picture is an example of all that rust I've been complaining about. It will probably be pretty heavily pitted but it should clean up with strong sand blasting.



Now look at this ... this is what the T Case was resting on, unsecured mind you. It's 3/4" plywood I guess for a spacer. Looks like its been there for a very long time.



Well, just an update. I'll send more as more gets done.

Man, I love finding wood used for repairs on a vehicle!

That frame should clean right up and look pretty good. At least it isn't flaking off in sheets and layers like some frames I've seen.

Tires look very good. Are those the ones you posted up about, about a week or so ago?

Yes they are, I was very happy to get that deal. $312 delivered. Bout time I got a deal on something.

What was the size again on those tires?

[fng]

9X16, the measurement as they are now (off rim, uninflated) is 34" tall. the tcase was just sitting on that wood, no holes drilled and no bolts holding it down. Probably why all the seals were blown.

I measured my stock NDT's and they were around 33" if I remember correctly. Inflated they will probably come up around that. Good score for sure!

The wood just makes me laugh. I wonder who thought that was a good idea?

[Kaiserman]

Those super lugs will get up to around 35" inflated. Mine measured in at around 35x11 on 7" wide wheels.

Your going to love them.

Great deal on the tires! Take lots of pictures as you go Tracy. Good thing you had a shifter and a couple drivelines holding your transfer case in!
Wow.
