I know the above post wasn't directed at me, but here is the progression of the K5.

The above is a 4" lift (front springs, rear blocks), 33x12.50 BFG Muds on 15x10 alloys, 10-bolts with 4.10 gears, Tru-Trac rear, Eaton posi in front. Before you bash me on "upgrading" the 10-bolts:
1. I was young
2. It was the '90s
3. It was stolen and they blew out the rear axle during this time, so insurance wrote me a check for a new OEM rear axle which is $$$$$....that paid for most of the regear and limited slips front and rear....

With 35x12.50 MT/R's right after they came out (had a buddy that worked at Goodyear that set me up)


Some point in there went with a 14FF rear with a welded diff, swapped the front to 8-lug, and kept the same tires with 15" 8 lug wheels.

Next was a front D60 with a lock-right and 13/38-16 Swampers.


Installed cage and customer front and rear bumpers at some point. Lots of custom body work. Probably mid-2000's timeframe.

Heck ya, I'm at 14 years with my ranger. It's definitely not a daily driver though now.

I'm guessing 33 years for Tom...
If my memory serves me... I'm fairly certain he's the orig owner of his '79...

Well done Tom... we can only hope to aspire to your level...

Keep it up WrenchMonkey... let us know what happens in the next decade...
