Like the title states plans were a lot bigger but things happen and my wallet shrunk severely so plans changed and this is what I got so far.

Here is how it started

The first cut is the deepest.( keep in mind I had big plans for it at first)

Yes a cage is in future plans but I'm sure it's atleast close to the strength it was stock. All of the metal welded on is 14 guage including full wheel wells and all the bed and now it's got a piece of 1/4 inch diamond plate in the floor o the bed. I built all of the stuff from 14 guage because I knew it would be a little while before I could do a cage.
 
The original plans were to stretch wheelbase by about 8-9 inches total with 4 link in rear and long arm in the front and do fullsize axles worth some 36s-38s and an exo(internal and external. But I quickly realized that my wants were a lot more than what I need. Current plans are more along the lines of get it together and wheel it(lol). Still will prolly stretch the rear about 6 inches in the future but I'm gonna do it with flipped leafs and a anti wrap bar to keep the money down.still gotta do bumpers,cage, gonna try to do some full tube fenders in with exo maybe.and I sure there's other stuff I wanna do that I can't think of at the moment.
