Looks good. 2wd and you take it into the mud like that? Good for you! I like the "xplorer" o the tailgate.

Some update pics...

I got (for free) some 285/75/16 all terrains ~33x10.5
They gave me another 1" of lift total over stock, although I have had some rubbing issues.

Rubbing on the sway bar

Had to hack up the Pass rear splash shield it was rubbing so bad

This is the Driver's Front clearance

Random sticker

I went to a drifting show last friday, and all of the 240/silvia guys had little dolls/domos hanging from their cars...So i figured i'll play along

Here is my Dora the Xplorer doll

^^She even says "Tengo Sueno", "I'm Sleepy"

And here is mine Next to a Stock 4x4 I saw at college yesterday

That's It for now

Thanks for lookin

Gregg

Nice truck.

I cranked the torsion bars 2" on both sides with longer bolts from fastenal. And I have 2" lift shackles from copperhead fabrication in the rear.

Update...

After getting an amazing 12.6 mpg with my last tank, I picked up some 265/75/16 Michelin ltx m/s for free from a friend who put some 22s on his chevy...

That being said, I had an ex-coworker mount and balance them for free; and yet another friend offered me his brand new in the box 3" blocks

I removed my torsion bolts completely, put my stock shackles on, and added the blocks. I'll try to upload pics tomorrow. It rides much smoother compared to having the torsion bars cranked 2".

It seems so low, maybe because I went from 2" of lift and 33's to 3" of drop and 31's

It only took about 1 1/2 hours total with the help of a friend
