All Hail "Orange Crush"!!!
« on: May 21, 2008, 07:09:30 PM »
put a deposit on her, waiting for the upgraded 1.0L to be installed.  I'll need new springs and bushings, shocks, and tires, as there is only the stock tires with it. 

it's back to stock for now, need suggestions:  ~3 inch lift springs or soa or both?  think it might be too tall.  it might be street legal in the end, weekend wheeler.  how good do leafs kits flex?

That one already has a lift on it I think. I know they don't sit that high from stock.That one looks pretty awesome. I am putting a lift on a buddies 1980 LJ80 soft top.It sits way lower than that stock.If they took the lift out of it just go with a spring over, the stocl leafs fflex pretty good you don't want it too high as they are very narrow.You don't want it to tippy. It should be good with the one liter I found one for my friend to replace his 800cc engine.
Who knew 45 horsepower could be so fun???

Eric, come and get it, you can have it for what I got it fopr will all the spare axles, tranny and t-cade, doors, etc, really cant afford it.

the spring over was taken out, and the springs need replacement, they sag uneven side to side it seems.  might put new bushings in and try again.

The springs may have been put back on the wrong sides. Cool truck though.
