    Mud Tires

    I was lucky enough to be able to grab 6 semi locally. I see some mud and lots of deep snow but very little highway so they're working out great.

    Mud Tires

    You can get cheap army surplus 8.25-16 if you look around. They're heavy duty and around 33" diameter but skinny if that might be an option

    Rear brake bleeding struggles

    Maybe the rubber part of the line is collapsing when applying the vacuum, and a seized right rear wheel cylinder?

    2 post shop lift

    I went 2 post. 9000 pound capacity lift. The reason I went 2 post is because it is more convenient to work on a vehicle's suspension. I chose the 9000 pound model because that's what I could fit in there due to the ceiling height. I have put half ton crew cabs on there with no issue. I wouldn't...

    Traction Aid for 77 K10

    I live in Saskatchewan, Canada so snow and ice on roads is a daily hazard for half the year. The existing tires are three peak rated and fairly new. I am happy with the road performance. I am a bit reluctant to add a locker for the reason you give. There seem to be selectable locker options...

    rust bullet versus por-15

    I have used rust bullet, on a Suzuki Samurai body. It performed well. It's tough to find though. I would use it again, if I could find it in my area instead of POR.

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    Sounds like a clutch issue, my 77 K10 would shudder when starting from a stop, when I first got it. I think it had sat for a while not being driven till I got it, maybe the flywheel had corrosion or something. It's fine now.
