I am thinking about dropping this thing back to stock, what do you all think?

Why? IMO 4 Wheel Drive is used to get you places, no matter what the obsticle. The higher the lift, the more you can go over. It also helps on seeing what's on the other side of the moose that's standing in the middle of the road. I like the way it looks right now. Cool extended cab.

**breeh** · 09-27-2002, 12:35 AM

I'd leave it the way it is and I usually change everything

Purs · 09-27-2002, 05:38 PM

leave it the way it is and I'll trade you my truck with the stock ride height in tact.

how much lift is on your truck anyway? and are those 35's??? Man I want your truck, or one like it.

Drive that bad boy to Virginia and I'll trade you my K25 w/ stock suspension.

BLAZERMAN · 10-02-2002, 01:59 AM

Looks great the way it is, I would'nt change a thing.

AlaskanMan · 10-02-2002, 02:00 AM

Well thanks all , I guess i will keep it the way it is until I get too damn old to get in it.
My wife is too short to get in it now

Purs, yes they are 35s with a 6 inch lift, I gotta tell you I thought about your offer to trade more than once, I should be in TX this next year Feb-Mar. I wish I was driving this pig outside I would like for all to see it heheheheheh

There are supposed to be about 24 more of these, I have heard of 1 more in Anchorage and 1 somewhere in Oregon, The rest are ( rumor has it ) BURIED up on the north slope

Again thanks for the interest all, I would be glad to answer any questions I can about this truck as I am learning everyday myself.

Just keep me in mind if you ever run across another one! And drop by while your in Texas if you're runnin' down I-20.

I think if it were me I'd have my butt up on that north slope with a metal detecter or somthing looking for the others that got left behind!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen three here in Canada, two are owned by a guy in Penhold, Alberta. Both are slightly different, as each was built at the two different original liscenced conversation operations in the US. And I know they are not for sale.
