build my taco
your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to pick components to build this taco up as best you can. Your spending limit is $7,000.

Depends on what you are building it up for.
I take it you are a kayaker, if that is what is in the bed?
If so, you may want to camp at beaches, campgrounds with rivers, and carry your Cobra.
Here is a solution.
Cad mockup of custom bed tubing/rack with roof top tent, your sleeping quarters for expeditions
Rack in place
Tent in place
Sleeping quarters deployed
No idea of what a rack setup like that will cost, but you can get the price of the tent here.

I would say less than $4K for the tent, tubing, and labor.
$3K left for tires, lift, sliders, bumper...

Why the hell would you want to run a 300 dollar axle, most likely a d44, which your gonna have to rebuild it, throw some worthy shafts in it, gear and lock it. Plus you have all the labor on top of that, which you are most likely not gonna be able to do (set up gears), and random material.

damn, that SAS is temping....
and thanks to ocdropzone and Corey for those expedition rig ideas, I'm definitely going to look into some of that gear
and as for a 37" and twin turbos - should I also get some neon body lights, some nice chromed out nerf bars and bull bar too?

i dont think those neon lights would last to long if it was my truck.. oh, and no need for that chrome, it would be covered in mud anyway.

Check out www.bajataco.com I plan on mimicking his set up sometime in the next year with my 96, since I just bought an F-250 for a hauler.

Depends on your needs. Mine are simple, light/med wheeling, daily driver, famliy hauler, etc. There are some very good recommendations in this thread. I envy the dilema! Heh-heh!

damn 7,000 is quite a budget.
if your into it id do a 5spd swap with a performance clutch.
id beef the IFS with 3" lift coilovers and uniball control arms, also a diff drop and a stronger skid plate.
get some good lifting leaf packs and shackles in the back, and reinforce the frame where it arches up.
get a budbuilt transfer case clocking adapter and then do a flatbelly.
put some rockslides on it and buy front and rear bumpers or at least take off the lower valance on the front bumper.
greywire mod
deckplate mod
ISR mod
ECT pot
toolbox
CB
high lift jack
gnarly tires
