    Wow, that looks like you just picked it up from the factory. Very nice.

    89 RCLB K1500 - Quality time with my son building his first truck.

    Are those just anti-tramp rods in the back or a whole different suspension setup?

    Better gas mileage and performance.

    To give you a reference, my 1988 K1500 350 TBI/ 700R4 has 4.1 diffs and 33x12.5/15 tires and looking at a recent datalog I can accurately say that on level ground, sitting on 60 mph, I was doing 1800 RPMs with the TCC locked. Hope that helps.

    The pedal is the way to go, if it's getting too hot then just back off the pedal until the puddle is just how you want it. I noticed in the picture you had quite a large v groove as well as setting a gap between pieces, that leaves quite a lot of material to fill in, try just using one method or...

    That's the Mitsubishi L200, they were one of the more common 4x4s down under in the 80s along with the Toyota Hilux. They were a good ute.

    I use deer skin gloves, they are thinner so beware off picking up hot stuff as they really only keep the UV light off your skin. Do you have a pedal to control the amps, they are worth the cost to be able to increase/ decrease the amps as you are running a bead, especially when tapering off at...

    Would you still get an alignment done?

    That is an incredibly worthwhile idea.

    Improved handling

    A set of adjustable shocks will help you dial in just the right amount of stiffness for each corner.

    Improved handling

    Absolutely, tires are just uncontrolled springs. You use shocks to control the springs but nothing is controlling the tires. You use a watts linkage or panhard rod to control the lateral movement of the diff but nothing stops the tires rolling sideways.

    Mate, I am so impressed with what you are achieving knowing that the truck is fully assembled and you have to work under and around everything else. You are a dedicated man.

    Pillar mount gauges

    I got the Autometer one, #ATM-17101, and it had little push in pins that locked in place and were small and very tidy, just meant they broke if you had to take them out again.

    Slow Roller

    That sounds awesome, I can see and hear why you would at least try it out.
