There are some cool rigs there. Your truck, the Rover, the H3, and the IH are my favorite.

Those were my favorite three also. I think that rover is really badass, and I liked the SAS H3 a lot too.

I enjoyed my trip to Moab last year. Looking at the pictures it looks like if you move the rear shackle hanger forward an inch or two you could pick up a little more down travel.

Have you heard if you made the final cut for UA?

Yeah my shackle hangers will be moved. When I in boarded the springs, we were on a slight incline so all the weight was loaded forward and when I got on flat ground the shackles settled and were completely flat. We had very limited time, cut off the hangers and moved them back where we thought that they should be to fix the problem. Turns out we were off by about and inch. I am going to move them forward an inch here soon when I get time.

Unfortunately, I am not in the final cut for the UA.

Bummer on not making the final cut. If you are looking for a little road trip at the end of summer you could head out here and join me on a run I am putting together.

Just read through the thread, sounds like an awesome adventure! Unfortunately I'll be in Alaska for work then :(

By the way, my center console is freaking badass. Proved itself multiple times in Moab. Excellent drink holder and it was perfect locking valuables in it without securing the whole rig.

Sorry to see you didn't make the final cut. Still, being in the dirty dozen is cool.

I thought I recognized your truck when I saw it, although I miss it with the bed and STX stripes. Still a really cool truck.

Thank you! Part of me misses the bed and STX stripes as well. If I could have 2 trucks I would make another of when my truck was like this

There are still some NOS STX decal kits sitting on some dealer shelves. I found some a while ago BUT... They want around $300 a set.

I'm going to get some for my truck after I paint it someday. It's an '89 so I'd get the older style stripes.

Love your truck btw. :icon_thumby:

Yeah I found some a while back on eBay and they wanted $400 for the stripes [emoji43]
The stripes on my cab pretty much disintegrated in the NM sun.
