    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    In these pics I have the TW outers on them with the rock rings installed. Since this truck will never be "wheeled" and will only air down for traction in sand or snow, I swapped them out for my cut stockers and sold the tw ones. Also for reference, the K5 has a 6" lift and 35's on it. Mine has a...

    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    The silver bumper thats on my sons K5 was on the front of mine, I have a nice 8274 in the garage we need to get installed. I gave it to him because I picked up an M12 for $300 off CL. (did I mention I love CL?) I need to get off my butt and get a bumper built for my truck and hang my winch. I'm...

    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    Well I got my hummer wheels done, tacked them using my jig and installed them on the truck to check for runout. All were less than .050 except one that was .083. Factory steel wheels are .010-.020 and aftermarket ones are .060-.080 so I think they will be fine. Also got my sons truck mostly...

    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    I turned up the pump and advanced the timing. Basically the big problem was 3 fold+. I was offered more money for the 12v than I paid, the length of the truck basically ruined it, and I got a WAY better condition truck for cheap. The 6.2 is a good runner but it isn't a 24v CR for sure. I'm going...

    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    Sorry for falling off the earth for awhile. As usual life happened. Well I'm back and by expedition truck is on the front burner for a change. So the tank is gone.... I got it together and was very unhappy with the 12v power output and driveability. Couple that with the cab having some rust...

    Ya I'll get the tires on it first and see where I'm at. What I know so far is this motor does NOT like to spin.

    The tank, an earth roamer on a budget

    Well the direction is changing a touch. I've decided not to use the big rig rollers. The costs were adding up, combine that with the height needed to clear the tires and the truck would be ridiculous. I'm got instead with 315 75 16 duratracs on my stock wheels, and a regear to 3.54's. Should...
