Mine seems to be in 4x4 at least twice per week. I am one of those hill folk that drive/park in the backyard and it rains here so darn often. Any 4x4, I ever had, in two wheel drive just does horrible on wet grass. Especially with the light stock bed and the 4x4 parts shifting the center of...
True! Wow, thats some real twist! Heck, my frame probably would fail on that. Being this is my only pickup truck, I don't take it on any intense stuff like that. I will continue looking for two more civy 16.5 rims and get the humvee rims off kind of soon. Especially after you brought the twist...
No. It came with humvee tires on bent up civy 16.5 rims all around. I like the slightly higher gear ratio the 37" humvee tires give. Not that I would do that with different gear ratios front and rear, but I never put any 4x4 in 4 wheel drive unless I am in broken traction anyway. As long as the...
Got two like new tires installed on the rear. For the front, I still have to take two tires off the humvee rims (once we get a day with no rain) so I can mount them on a set of rims I picked up off craigslist. All the rims, that came on the truck when I got it, were bent and noticable in the...
We did the same at Lost In The Woods in August '84. Humped in A.M. and squeezed into these for a ride back to the barracks in P.M. It was just lovely all up against your smelly, sweaty comrades.
The dirt was pretty dense. After I started loading all it could hold the tires were squatting. The singles are nice but a set of good duals, I would think, would take the weight better. I had to use low range after I started loading heavy. Toby, that 817 sure looked nice.
Widened my driveway into my future homesite. Hauled approximately 30 loads of dirt to a place to spread in the field. Started with light loads as the pic shows, but later started putting all I could on. When doing larger projects, this truck seems tiny. I need a 20 ton!
Uh. Groveport and efficiency do not go in the same sentence! I was talking to an 18 wheeler driver last week that mixed up his days to be there and they told him the day before that they "may" fit him in. He was at Lockbourne picking up two pallets, hoping for the call from Groveport at least...
Well, my CUCV isn't the prettiest thing. It has rust along the bottom of the body and still needs one fenderwell (inner fender) changed out soon. However, it is a workhorse. It is my only pickup and I use it regularly. It makes trips to Columbus, Ohio from near the West Virginia border, and gets...
I was just having this conversation yesterday inroute to Columbus. I had it on my last truck ('86civy Chevy) and I miss it bad. It had a gasser 350 and lower gearing than the 4:56 so I had to set it at 45 mph. It never saw interstate either.
I will be there Monday but I live in eastern Ohio in the easternmost county, yet very few miles from I-70.
Edit: Shoot. Nevermind. I will be at Lockbourne at 11:30 and still have to go to GP yard in northern Columbus before 2:00.
