Nice man. Two things, did you gap your plugs more and up the timing when you did the six litre tune up?

Also, you have any videos of the runs or exhaust clips?! I bet that thing sounds good

There's nothing wrong with a 302 that's wat my 92 has In it. It's a single cab short bed and a 5speed also it crawls every were. I just recommend not going any bigger then 33s. It's all about the gears if u gear it right ull do fine off-road . Hell my 97 explorer 5speed with 33s and 4inch lift puts both my trucks to Shame lmao. It's only got the 4,0 in it but I geared it right

First thing u need to do is getrid of them 3.55s . I no it takes time and money but if u find sum of both that's wat I'd do . Them 35s had to kill ur truck lol

I am all for giving credit where credit is due, but that must not have been much of a mud bog.

Your have a stockfish size tire that is at least 1/2 worn out. And your truck is still clean.

Here is what our little county fair's mud bog looks like

Warren County Mud Bog 2012 Short Video - YouTube
Um 35 inch tires are far from stock and I didn't make it even half way threw and no one in the class above me did either . They go by feet and if u make a full pit they go by time. My rear tires are brand new by the way and if u ever been to a mud bog u would no they have a stock class were theres ppl in there mom suv... If I was a rich boy like I'm guessing u are id have the best tires but I dnt . I have wat I have and Im content with it. Every post I see u make ur so nagtive if u dnt have sumthing good to say keep ur mouth shut . U wouldn't last a day were I'm from diesel dic. Ppl come here for good advice and compliments . I dnt need u to give me credit lmao I can care less wat u have to say . U were right about one thing it's was a county far look it up Brooke county wv mud bogs

Nice job. I had those same tires and they do alright for an all-terrain. I didn't notice much difference between Wildpeak A/T's and BFG A/T's and was mildly impressed but then I let some air out til there was about 15-20 lbs left... you want extra grip give that a try! They have a nice heavy sidewall so they can take it. Of course you'll want a way to air them back up before you head back to pavement.

Only thing that sucks is when they wear out they get slick. Someone on here told me that not too long ago and well I wore mine out and yep they started spinning on wet friggin' grass.

Truck looks good... I think I'll go with 33's next time (have 31's now) cause the price jump from 33's to 35's is a b!@tch. Still have to lift mine though.
