I was sent more rad stories and pics thru insta by Mark Naugle. He spent a lot of time in the passenger seat back in the day.

My new 35” MTR spares seem to be around the 34” mark. Good call on the height increase. I’ll probably need to lower ride height being this thing rides tall in the current setup. Down south serviced all the shocks for the last owner but not sure if they worked on ride height at all

I’m thinking about switching to 37” Tensors from the Goodyear 35”x12.5”. Any thoughts?

@Prepbyhelton which bedsides do you run? Something custom? Thanks

Pulled the old skid plate to prep and make a new one. This plate is hammered!

Not sure which front hubs

@Camper shell fun thanks for the great info! I want to upgrade front brakes soon. As for front hubs, I dont know what Mike used but they have a .500” thk wheel spacer currently.

@Camper shell fun I pulled both front hubs to services bearing and inspect the spindles. Driver side is welded, pass side is not. Neither have cracks as of now.

@Camper shell fun I found your note, love it! It’s on the extra uca in a crate.

Thank you for the info. I’ll pull the front off for inspection and new paint in the next couple months. The truck came with a bunch of spare parts, upper and lower a-arms (missing one uca) and spindles included. I’ll look for the note haha

Honestly, I don’t know all of the history on it. I know Mike Koenig built and raced it. And that total chaos developed their race kit and trailing arms on this as well as a couple others. Being from socal, I was more aware of Matt Helton and Dan Vance during the same time period, all while I...

Some of the prep for speedmetal. Used about 69 cans of steel it on the back half, light bar and front bumper.

That’s awesome. No I got it down here in San Diego from the guy that bought it from Mike. He had it for a couple years.

When I saw the truck up for sale, I was super excited. I figured it would be awesome to bring it back to life and keep havin fun with it! The only bummer is if I ever paint it, no one will remember it haha

Perfect. I’m down in San Diego but I’ll touch base when I head up your way soon
