It could be the patches i put in when i removed the rust
all original 1970 steel panels weigh a bit eh, and theress a LOT of heavy RSJ added in the chassis for X members and the bigger wider diffs and double sleeved controll arms and...and...and... yea its heavy. Lol extra traction for the win!!
If you already know everything, DON'T ask bloody questions!!
Found a little mud yesturday, hopefully find some more today! Also bought a new air hose for my compresssor and new attachements. but they are leaking air so need to figure that one out. might need some of that plumbers tape to go around the threads of the attachments, hmmm.
