Its whats left of an 1988 Jeep Comanchee when I tore into it.
It has a 4 liter to a AW4 with a np231/dana300 doubler. Triple sticks so I can control each axle independently.
Dana 60 up-front and a 14 bolt rear, both with 4:56's and welded.
38" swampers that I custom cut. Tires are wrapped around H1 double beadlocks that I recentered and added plastic beadlock inserts.
No doors or glass, and its fully caged with suspension seats and harnesses.
Complete flat belly, winch, hydro steering assist and brake line locks for helping in tight turns.
Its long and super low which makes it very stable.

V8_TITAN,
Nice truck,one question.
What wheels are those and what size wheel and tire?
Thanks,
DanD


Thanks, they are KMC monsters, 22x11 with neg 44 offset, they stick out the side of the truck a good 4 inches so I added the glassworks fiberglass fenders and bed sides and now they are flush.

The tires are toyo m/t open country size is 37'' tall 13.50 wide

Deff not the lightest combo, they are around 175 pounds on each corner.

Yes sir, I grew up in Granby.
 
The name explains what they do,but how much and what do leveling kits do? Most trucks look pretty level to begin with.
Thanks,
DanD

Most pickups do not sit level from the factory, usually the rear sits higher. You can see in the picture of mine above that it looks level, but it has a full bed of camping stuff plus the jeep & trailer. On my truck the leveling kit lifted the front up 2". It is basically a puck above the spring to space the spring down.
 
Ya it sits nose up when heavily loaded, like above. My tin only makes the back squat maybe 1/2".
 
I was using a s10 blazer to pull my boat, but with the short wheelbase it was not a comfortable ride.

I picked this 96 c1500 with a 5 liter v8 and tow package for towing duties.

Very cool thread, I always like to see other peoples rigs. Here is my multi-purpose daily driver. I don't think I could live without a truck.

Has the Vortec Max towing package, it gets it gets about 16 mpg on the highway towing or empty.
 
Here's my daily driver & tow vehicle. '07 TrailBlazer SS, AWD, 395hp 6.0L LS2 v8. It handles like a dream during the week (14.0 sec, 99.8 MPH quarter mile - stock) and satisfies all my towing needs on the weekend ('06 Crownline 200LS). I bought the SS new in August '07 and have racked up 103,500+ miles to date. If I had to do it over, I would get the same exact vehicle except in silver. I just don't have the time (anymore) to keep the black as clean as I would like.
