Actually, I'm practically embarrased by my post count. I probably should have been doing something more important like curing cancer. Than again, I've been here a looong time and these things happen
jseim. I've got a grab handle up on the cab and I just hoist myself up there. My wife needs a ladder, or if Ivan had his way, a circus cannon

The '72? I sold it a couple of months ago. Swore I never would but gotta make room for the trail rig I'm going to be making.
Generally a 35" is the largest you can go on a stock highboy without rubbing. If your springs are a little tired even a 35" will rub slightly, they did on my '72.

pro your post count is the same as 1,103.75 posts per year, about 92 posts per month, about 1.5 posts per day, about .0638 pots per hour, about .001065 posts per min. All this means that you have a lot of information and knowledge and would like to share it to everyone here, or it means that you have lots of opinions. someday we all hope to be able to help others like you do but looking at my post count I have a while yet.

Chuck gone for five years huh? So what if I don't know what the hell I'm doin. No needs to get all excited about the stupid newbie. I don't really give a damn if I don't know how to turn on a computer or work this damn internet thing. I was just excited to see somebody was excited about gettin into wheelin. They're closin trails everywhere in case you guys have had your heads up somewhere. We need everybody we can get. Oh, and this newbie built a '77 Highboy w/ 4 speed, NP205, swapped in 460, and 35" tires (anybody who goes any bigger is obviously trying to compensate for other lacks in size...) front detroit locked dana 60 rear detroit locked dana 70 custom rock sliders and custom exhaust. Brand new custom fabbed bumper w/ warn 15000. The interior has got 2 jeep seats w/ five points and rhino lined floor. I got a '96 that is just startin to evolve into something as impressive. So this newbie might not know what the hell a "thread" is, but he can build and would rather build than sit on my butt and play on the internet...

I think Bluepartsman is going to do well here
I also think muddy4x4lane needs to switch to decaff
Nobody called you a stupid newbie besides yourself. Although your last post with its non too subtle jabs at me proves that the shoe fits.
