Dream Rig...??
i was just thinking lately, because my truck is obviously weak, what a dream trail rig would be. i was thinking a early bronco, with unimog axles, 460 with a wet shot of NOS, ZF 5-speed, twin transfercases, i dunno what a good one is, im still researching, coils on every corner, and a triangulated 4 link. gotta run the 44s boggers, full cage, and armor.....and some bad *** bumpers and a winch.
whats your dream rig, and if you got it, send me a link.

OK. Tube buggy, N/A 7.3L diesel(headers, good pump, propane), C6 w/manual valve body, modified converter to stall at 850 rpm, 2 1/2 ton Rockwells(between 5 and 6 to 1), front and rear steer, Atlas 5.0 transfer case, 44 boggers, on board welder, air compressor, and a Pioneer 6 disc CD changer. Oh yeah, if your buying, send them here, and I'll assemble myself.

dunno about the life yet, just got'em....they ride real good though. I got them for $224 a piece at NT&W. Yea...they are IROK's, 39.5x13.50R16.5. They are real hard pulling tires....they give Hawgs a run for their money. Best thing about them is I am willing to bet that IROK's pull backwards harder than boggers! I am not 100% sure b/c I have never taken boggers through thick stuff before, but I am pretty sure! On the rocks though, I thought I was on dry pavement they pulled so hard!

I'm about 90% done with mine right now.
76 F250...swapped in Dana70 rear with a small axle '76 Dana 60.
I just acquired a 79 F250 and will be pulling the High Pinion Dana60 out of that....converted to 35spl outers.
Np435/np205
4" National Spring lift is done
38.5" Swamper TSX
390 with edelbrock heads, intake...other hotrod goodies. Actually finding this isn't enough and have a 514 shortblock in the works and will do a swap in the future.
