Offroad 1992 245 - Project Sven Bjornagain

Finally got back on this thing.

Added a v-band to the 3" exhaust to make it easier to remove
Replaced the truck torque converter with a 2000 stall unit. Runs so much better now
Hooked up a thermostat

In the next few weeks I'll be driving it a bunch to see what else needs to be fixed. The next big upgrade on the list is installing the 8.8 that's been sitting on the floor of my shop for 2 years.

Please don't cut your fenders

It's your car, but just know that it's not necessary, and if you put big enough tires that cutting IS necessary, you will decimate what little torque you have and will get stuck on rocks comparable in size to (or smaller than) watermelons unless you do a ring & pinion swap, which involves completely disassembling the axle

You'd be surprised at how decent these look and work with a little lift and slightly bigger tires

Here's one for comparison

Edit: not to mention you can't really cut much of the forward section of the rear wheel opening due to proximity to rear door

What brand/model and size tires are these on the 780 Multi-X Wheels?

They're BFG KO2 tires. Size unknown, @IansPlatinum hasn't logged in since July so you may not get that information.
