Great looking rig, deadlust.

What gear ratio are you running? Does your truck have limited slip?

 

Thanks guys! Bill, im not exactly sure what gears, i know its pretty dang low though considering 1st gear maxs out at about 6mph, and 5th gear, (overdrive) is at 3rpms going 50 mph.. lol, shes built for power and speed. and yes, i think so

 

Dang, deadlust. I bet you can pull a house with gearing that low! That's just what you want for off roading.

I agree with everyone else, those tires look bigger than 33's (not a bad thing, of course, just something I noticed).

Gotta love a lifted black FlareSide.

What kind of fuel mileage do you get with that truck anyhow? About 12 on the highway?

 

Haha yes, very low! And, yeah id say about 11-12 hwy, but I hate driving highway because of the gears.. lol, so I drive mostly city, back *** roads where no stop signs are neccesary. resulting in me getting about 8 or 9 average

 

I hear that. I try to stay off the highway if I can. My truck can still cruise at 75 but you can watch the fuel gauge drop when I do. I get about 14 mpg back roads driving and not much better on the highway if I keep it at 60.

 

Haha yeah exactly! I can do those speeds, but it seems harsh for long periods. You got a nice looking flareside yourself there too.

 

Thanks man. She's been my baby for about 5 years. I've driven her hard, but with love. She's coming up on 220,000 miles now. =(

So, what made you decide on using a newer FlareSide bed? I always wanted an older 80's model FlareSide myself.

 

Not exactly sure,, but I love the look of the flareside bed from the side of the truck. I'm posting from my phone lol, and I m on my way home with some pics to upload, my interior is the best part!

 

I understand! I love the look of FlareSides from all angles. I just wish I could haul more.

I'm looking forward to more pictures. Take some pictures of your engine compartment for me too while you're at it, please!

 

Yes, I too wish I could haul more.. but i'll sacrifice it for looks! I just got home and noticed you wanted engine pics, i'll get some later today before work hopefully, my trucks parked at my other place, i'm driving my car now considering im a pizza delivery boy that spends all his paychecks on his truck. Hah, anyways heres some more.






My interior needs a good cleaning, or atleast vacuumed if you can tell!

 

My new 35" Baja Claws came today, and I had them put on right away! Im gonna attempt to put my new manual locking superwinch hubs on too, im converting it from auto 4x4 to manual... think i'll need a conversion kit? I ordered one, but wont be in till around the 25th..

 

Looks sexy with her new shoes! Are those Classic I wheels then? The holes don't look big enough to be Classic IIs. Are the hubs what came in the Summit Racing box?

 

not exactly sure about my wheels, just that theyre mickey thompson too , and yes the hubs are in the summit box. Think i'll need the conversion kit?

 

do you have anymore pics of your trucks hood? im kinda liking that hood scoop. even if its only cosmetic. any idea which one it is? im thinking about one for mine.

 

i see its a 4x4 extreme.....was that a special edition like the night, or splash(ranger i know)
