235/75/15, i haven't taken the wheels off yet possibly spacers if they look like they stick out more than norm. look norm to me, can't find any signs of a lift either.
what adjustment on the carb do i need to watch? this is my first carb vehicle, i found the idle adjust (YAY) when i changed the timing was idling a bit hi for a lil bit the 1st evening.
i sealed up my canopy, except for the gate it should be almost air tight when its all closed up. haven't had time to tinker with it yet maybe tomorrow eveing, stuff keeps coming up.
played with 4WD for the 1st time. nothing challening just climbed up a steepe grass hill with 4 low. was cool kinda fun. need to adjust the linkage it likes to work its way out of 4L selector just needs to move a tiny bit more, sometimes it stays in, and when its under load it stays fine.
list of to do's so far
passenger front bearing,
lower driver ball joint (not horrible but i can see the slack when i play with the wheel)
inspect/replace brake pads +shoes (I HATE DRUM BRAKES ARG)
eventually i need to replace the seal that goes from the trans case to the drive shaft. and there's an oil leak up front somewhere.
and get the 4WD light to work, and add a tachometer
then i'll start building my custom bumper!!!!!!! its going to be a beast still thinking about my design.
just a few small things for now. once i figure out what engine and axles i am going to end up with (thinking about throwin on the 1 ton axle we'll see)
then i want lockers, we'll go from there. i really wish i could put an air locker on my vw, or get one of the sweet quaife differentials, like a lokcer but lets u turn, damn my not popular transmission/car

Since this is your first carbed vehicle i dont know if you have read your manual but i put a post up on how i start mine up and it starts fine as long as i follow the procediers that i do
and adding a tachometer isnt to hard unless you already know how, then it will be easy, but i read on a web sight that the LA 3.9 (1986-1991) has a red line of 5,250 RPMs so dont be reving it too high

i put a tach on my vw, was easy peasy. i take it easy on the dodge. i race around in the vw, or on rare occasions i'll remind my self what 200hp is like and drive the prelude lol. but would def like a tach so i know what speed im spinnin at . its a quiet truck, sme as the old 1 at the yard

ok, a few days late, according to the door my stock tire size is
195mm/75(%of 195mm)/15x6 (inch rims) 7.6"/5.75"
current tires are 235mm/75 converted to inches, 9.25"/6.93"
might explain why it looks taller to, tires alone add a lil over an inch.
just noticed yesterday that the front has no springs, does the "sway bar" act as the spring on these? i need to get a detailed shop manual for this thing, i love the 1 i have for my Honda its sweeeet!!!
