That "artwork" can be easily removed...BY ME. I would be happy to paint that truck!
You have done a great job with that thing, it now begs for a great paint job that you can destroy wheeling.

Well I brought the truck home for the weekend, so i could do some stuff to it, and here are the pics...tell me what you think!!!
Just getting it home
Heres a driveway pic, I was doing my new harness, and it went really smooth and didnt take that much time!!!
Here is the main reason I wanted to bring it home
I also bought one of these and put it in, I actually only paid about 70 bucks for it cause the people at autozone know me and took my old duralast gold in for a trade in!!
And Looky what my sis got me for christmas!!! Good thing I got the 60in one!!
And this straightened up my rear bumper too! So are you happy 89silverpu!! lol
A pic next to my buddys yota he just got today, its a 2wd prerunner!
They are getting my gears and lockers in monday, so they will be installed Asap, I will be giving the truck back to the shop monday to to get the sliders and lockers installed!! Then there will be flex pics!! I drove it around today and its a dog with stock gears and 37s!! And the boggers are so loud that they sound like an airplane at 40mph!!
I also played with the winch, pulled my friends avalanche on the pavement!! Was nice

I also did an oil change to 20W-50 because the oil that was in it had been in there for a year, but only 1500 miles on the oil, because it didnt run!

BigT: Yeah, but I probably wont get the boggers again, unless I really like them off road, as this truck isnt my daily driver, they are really loud, so If you dont like the whine, then dont get them, as for me I kinda like the whine, it makes people look at you when they drive next to you, if the exhaust or lack of doors doesnt get them first!
toyospearo: Yeah I think I will paint it one day, but I want to wait till I am a little more experienced wheeling, so I wont bang it up too bad!

wow nice build, i would take others advice and truss that axle, its easy for the shop to do, just make sure they know what they are doing or they will warp the axle. oh and that front spring hanger needs to be welded up more than just a couple small welds. oh and heres a tire you might want to look into, pitbull rockers.

Total cost has been about $17k, but thats because labor is expenive, and I cant weld and dont have a place too!
After these wear out I think i might go with a pitbull tire, cause its not my daily driver, but I do still drive it on the road

Shoot you and me both, my plan is to have it ready at the toyota jamboree in texas, january 15, but at this rate I may not make it and may have to try and get my money back.

Nice job, It really came out great. I bought my 89 last month and the joker had a 2" body lift on it so my first project is to bring it back to it's chassis.
Don't forget to take some pics wheeling.
