Bought this truck 2 years ago with the intentions of using it as a long term project truck for me and my girlfriend. Drove it for a while, parked it and decided i wanted to repaint it and redo the interior.
Well after the interior was partly finished i decided i wanted to wheel it, so i threw on some white primer and black zebra stripes, took it to URE and destroyed the front differential. So it sat for another year, until now i finally decided it's time to do a major upgrade.
My plan is to SAS, match the rear, both keeping leaf springs, fiberglass fenders and bedsides, new paint, custom bumpers, sliders, etc... and maybe even a turbo setup if budget permits.
Anyway im gonna start from when i first got the truck, i have quite a few pictures so itll be pic heavy for a few posts up until i get to the point I am at with it now.
Project Plan:
-Dana 44 chromoly shafts, hi-steer, hydraulic assist, six shooter knuckles, and either a detroit locker or ARB air locker
-Trail gear power steering pump
-IFS steering box ported for hydro assist
-High output alternator to run lights and accesorries
-glassworks unlimited front fenders and bedsides
-Custom tube bed cage
-Custom front and rear tube bumpers
-front and rear 8k lb winches
-37" kreepy krawlers on Trail Creeper beadlocks
-2004 front end conversion
Will probably add to this list as the project continues.
Now on to the pictures!!
