Been a lurker on the forum for a while and decided it's time to get a little more active and would like to meet more people to wheel with and whatnot. I've already done a lot so this will be a reverse build of sorts. I'll go back to the beginning and catch back up to now.

Picked the truck up about 9 months ago from a nc4x4 member. Already had rears up front, high steer, 4.70 case gears, welded rear, lockright front.

Tore both motor mounts my first time at uwharrie so I picked up a junkyard set and chained the driver's side

Finally found a first gen in a junkyard so I picked up the doors and started cutting.

Couple shots from Uwharrie. This is full droop full stuff all 4 corners. Limiting factors in the front are the brake lines and banana shackle hitting the body mount on the droop side and I'm eating the fender and the shock is fully compressed on the driver's side. Rear is in the fender on the pass side and shock fully extended on driver.

Used a laser like you hang pictures with to get a straight line over the fenderwells

Worked pretty damn good

And that about gets me caught up. How it sits as of now

Yeah I know, I stay off the questionable stuff right now because of that. I have been planning on an exo sometime next year, just need to decide who I want to build it. I wouldn't use a bender enough to justify buying my own
 
Man I miss this truck... Sold it to a guy in Florida.
