Yeah when I moved from Santa Maria to Simi Valley I would go Santa Rose valley into Moorpark to avoid that grade when towing my trailer since it was easier and only took maybe 10 min longer at the most.

Yeah I have a camper shell for this and was going to do that but didn't want to pay to smog, and pay over $100 to register is every year. Plus I don't live in a city so I only drive it really to/from the desert so not worried about a cop or anything on it. I could prob just register it Non-op...

No real update on the truck, besides registering it out of state because I'm not paying Commiefornia over $300 registration for a 1995 truck I paid not much more than that for. I also fixed the frame but it appears when I "fixed" it, it was still slightly off so front of the bed/back of cab...

My cousin has an LBZ duramax and he uses 805 Diesel in Camarillo for all work on the truck. He's had great luck on with them. It's a bit of a drive but getting it there and back is easier than dealing with shady shops and wasting money at them. https://805diesel.com/

That will be awesome once it's all together and working. I would've just swapped in a 4x4 trans and t-case but I'm not as smart as you are to figure out all that stuff.

They're chevy 63" leafs. I ran them on my first prerunner. Worked better than stock toyota leafs but dont have much arch so I Frankenstein my yota leafs and chevy leafs to make a full pack. I also diamond cut ends of leafs with cutoff wheel and put new pads on the ends to help it slide easier...

Fix problem then sell the truck.

Hes watching his tongue speak truth and knowledge buttertits. My 95 5.8 runs good but not LS good and Not LS mpg. Its old technology and old efi that works but isnt modern to today's efi standards.

Yeah ive used them and osh cut for a couple thing since small qty and same proce delivered as just laser cutting locally. But yeah I've only use them if I need extra precise 1s or 2s

Id only do the d44 front and fullsize rear since you'll need new wheels, if you are planning on building the truck further with coilovers and such. 3.0 budget learn how to drive id do 4x4 coils, alignment cams longer radius arms shocks and go. Flip shackles in rear with better shocks and find...

Does the cel for the code effect how it drives or you just dont want to see the light on the dash?

I believe Mopar is bringing back the hemi after they discontinued it to do their twin turbo 6. All I know is tundra/toyota needs a v8 again to try and bring reliability back to the brand

Super budget, find biggest diameter used smooth body shocks, install some factory 4x4 f150/bronco coil springs, alignment cams to fix camber. Find some extended radius arms, Yes heim radius arms are best BUT for a budget and running factory springs get some extended radius arms like Tuff...

I won't fill it up before driving in and itll be fine.

I'd be down to bring my F-150 prelander to show how a fucked up body/beat up truck can still be awesome and work great with some unique fabrication and thinking outside the box, mainly on the rear suspension.
