Lifted Truck
Lifted 1990 Chevy Stepside 4X4. It has about 180k on the odometer, but the the engine and transmission only have about 50k on them. It has a 15" Pro Comp lift in the front and a 13" Pro Comp lift in the back. It has a 1 Ton solid axle swap with 3:83 gearing. It has a 3" header back exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 muffler. Sounds great. The wheels are 15" steelies with 39.5" Thornbirds with 90% of the tread left. The truck has a pretty good sound system. It has a Pioneer deck, AMP, Kicker Comp bass and aftermarket speakers. The truck has no leaks, mechanical problems or serious rust. I just got the transmission seals overhauled on 2/19. The truck does have a Rhino Liner paint job. This truck wasn't built to be pretty though... Besides the paint job, it could use an alignment. I'm looking to get in to 4x4s so if there are any experts out there tell me if you think it would be good or not?? Thanks for the help
Chris

If your looking for a good wheelin rig do not buy that... Those things can't get into places ike my toyota can. Those toys are good for mud boggin and dune and desert racin. If you like wheelin like I do get a cheap toyota around 1000-2000 bucks maybe even cheaper and dump a couple thousand and build a nice rock crawler. Just my opinion.

I agree with Joe... Although it looks like the ultimate offroading vehicle, no straight axle, and most of the time no posi to begin with... Hardly any flex, so very hard for rocks, etc. Love my duramax for daily driving, and the occasional trip to the dunes and reservoir!!!

Yeah guys like Tbone here I call "pavement pounders". They LOOK nice but can't wheel for crap. You wanna go wheeling I know some great trails and awesome terrain near my Hometown Shaverlake.

Don't forget I'm the guy that pulls the little wheelers that don't have enough power to get out on their own.  I may look like I'm too scared, I'm just awaiting the inevitable, lol.
