Was able to work on it this past summer and that's where most of the progress came.
First changes were frame and interior.
Before
After
Sandblasted and painted frame
Also started on some half doors

Along the way I bought some 36's and decided to re-gear. Went with 5.29s and set them up myself.
Pattern (crappy pics)
Installed IFS box
Made a shock mount
And got some new doors
This was basically the end of the progress for summer. Just got back for winter break and am starting back up. So far I've been able to rebuild my front axle.
5th stud
That's it so far, but I plan to get it driving again before I leave.

Bit of an update
Made this panels a while back. Basically just a replacement of the stock ones. Used boat interior material to cover them, so they're water proof.
Sky parking brake, works great so far.
Has a question on the brake lines. Do most of you guys leave the connection between the hard line and soft line in the stock location or move it? Seems like it may max out on droop, but I haven't had a chance to flex it yet.
Any comments or suggestions are wanted/welcomed.
