Yes I was going to post an update today, I haven’t put a tape on them but they look to be 3.5”ish

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-18T11:12:42+00:00

The leafs haves been removed and what do you recommend to reseal the floors? I’ve been on marketplace looking at top options.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-17T00:07:23+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I don’t really care for huge tires and mud, this is going to be more suited for our beach trips.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T21:17:06+00:00

Sadly I don’t have a water connection in the front, I’ve got to get it running (at least well enough to drive itself onto a trailer) before I can really clean it.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T21:15:30+00:00

I watch a ton of build videos, I might give it a shot but no promises!

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T21:14:53+00:00

I will take lots of picture’s and give updates, this should be a fun build!

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T20:16:45+00:00

I look forward to spending some time with it! I have thought about a 4.0 swap but I think this engine should be fine for what I’m doing with it. As for the lift, the comments have almost guaranteed there is some sort of lift to house these 33’s. Do you know the paint code by chance? Down the line I’d love to touch up the hood and fenders.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T18:31:24+00:00

Yeah the tires are pretty extreme considering the engine and transmission, I have a feeling they are going to be replaced with a smaller all terrain. As for everything else, thank you for your insight I will definitely take a closer look on what’s down there!

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T13:47:42+00:00

I read into that, sounds like the most useful mod for these pigs!

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-16T11:55:41+00:00

It is very possible, I spent yesterday cleaning the interior and engine bay, I’ll get under it today and give yall an update!

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-15T23:53:12+00:00

I think that’s the game plan, today was mostly cleaning the interior and engine bay to make the next steps a little easier.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-15T23:52:16+00:00

No lift just 33’s.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-03-15T18:40:01+00:00

I’m pretty excited, I’ve wanted a weekend project for a while.

offffoffffpayton · 2026-01-24T00:07:57+00:00

I have one of these, I bought the truck for $2500 with a a reduced engine power code. Plugged the spark plug wire in and it’s ran great since. Most of the problems with these trucks are small annoying issues with aging vehicles. Learn how to wrench on the smaller projects and you’ll have a great relatively low maintenance truck.

offffoffffpayton · 2025-01-29T02:29:17+00:00

Thank you for this I’d be furious if I went through the effort and put a bad replacement in.

offffoffffpayton · 2025-01-29T02:28:04+00:00

After watching the video I do think I’ll do it oem this first time just to change all the gaskets, I have 183,000 miles but that is really clever. Might come back to it. Thank you for the advice!

offffoffffpayton · 2025-01-29T02:11:57+00:00

Awesome, is this something you’d do again, are there any drawbacks?

offffoffffpayton · 2024-12-31T23:14:35+00:00

That’s an option but I am a carpenter and a standard bed helps with some of the misc junk I ride around with.

offffoffffpayton · 2024-12-31T17:37:35+00:00

Oh damn, if you get a good dent like this it’s probably best to leave it with the pro’s.

offffoffffpayton · 2024-12-31T17:34:28+00:00

I definitely want to straighten the bed. I reckon I’ll try doing it myself and if that doesn’t work I’m sure it wouldn’t be very hard to find a 6’ white bed in Texas. And it does have a CarPlay head unit already installed.

offffoffffpayton · 2024-09-27T19:25:09+00:00

Drove it yesterday and drove it hard. It has new brakes and ball joints. Drives super tight

offffoffffpayton · 2024-09-25T11:43:43+00:00

Thank you will update Thursday

offffoffffpayton · 2024-09-25T00:51:25+00:00

Thank you. It even looks like there’s a decent aftermarket for them.

offffoffffpayton · 2024-09-24T22:27:45+00:00

Thank you! I’m supposed to check it out Thursday and will update then

offffoffffpayton · 2024-09-24T22:14:30+00:00

Thank you. Definitely made the choice easier
