I have been sifting through the forum looking for info on the bob. If anyone knows a quick link that has someone's build up I certainly would appreciate it. I have also been reading the manuals. I love military manuals. The reading level is amusing. I have been looking all over for some deals and it seems like the cheapest way is to get it from an auction. Since I live in the military epicenter of the world, there are a few bases around here that have auctions regularly. I might check into that. There are also a bunch on Craigslist so I might hit that up. I don't want to buy a premade bobbed truck as I think the best part of owning a toy is cutting it up and making it better with a bunch of my buds and a lot of liquid courage. I found the front spring kit over there at Boyce, so I'll likely pick that up. I think I'll get some wheels from Stazworks as I have 20" double beadlocks for the Jeep and I think they are pretty pimp. Right now I'm on an info gathering mission. I likely wont make any moves until February, but I will definitely hang out and learn what I can.
The goal is to be able to load the Jeep in the bed and drive it to the OBX or to the farm while towing another trailer with another rig on it. I know I will loose a lot of bed carrying capability so we will likely rig some semi airbags under it to help out. Plumb that into the trucks air system and let it eat. I want to go with the super single look, but what size tires are you all running? I saw one guy who lifted his with some blocks and that just doesn't sit well with me, so whatever will work without some sketchy lifting stuff.
Is there any way to tune up these engines? I'm not too bent on being able to run 23432 different types of fuel, but is anyone running different engines or fiddling with the stocker?
Any help or insight is much appreciate. And please, don't stone teh n00b!
