Looks freaking great! I'm glad I was on the PC to do the Trip to Havasu Post(went there for Thanksgiving)... It's SO MUCH BETTER looking at pics on a bigger screen!
Can't wait to see it all happen, man... , but for now, she's looking pretty sexy already! haha. Great work, and best wishes on hunting down the freakin Gremlin! GRRRR!

Well I took the truck out and just hit some dirt back roads. Wanted to check my brakes, from the skid marks, my passenger front barely brakes, drivers front locks hard. This will all be cured with the sas!
So I swapped in my new rear axle, loving the e locker and 5:29. I pulled my overloads out and went around the block, hit a good dip at about 30mph. As you can see, the springs are done for. I've never messed with springs before. Rookie mistake maybe. Not too sure. Looks like I'll be swapping my stock rears back on for now.

Well, here it is! Big thanks to my buddy mike (peacesells63 on ttora) he did all the torching and welding. Plus, he's the one who's sold me all the parts I've bought at killer pricing! Pictures of him torching it and me doing the "hard pose"
As you can see, we moved it pretty far forward, along with the steering box. I somehow don't have pictures of it after we got the shocks and hoops on. I'm currently waiting on ubolts. The ones I have are too long and the sleeve portion of the ubolt comes through the plate. No luck finding 3.5 axle tube ubolts locally, so I'm having a set made.
Diamond housing, marlin inner and outer seals, 30 spline and hub gears, marlin high steer, arp studs on the steering arms, v6 rotors and calipers, marlin built 3rd- high pinon, Yukon 5:29, solid pinon spacer, and a Detroit.
I have the prerunner lean. Lol. I ordered my hangers and shackle hangers from ruffstuff. So I'll get my 63's on shortly!
