Subscribed... Wanna keep an eye on this build!

just a couple of the usual

converted to manual trans
the regretable 3" body lift.... but I was able to make the belly flat with this mod so not a bad mod if you dont want to cut a new tunnel for the trans
dual ultimate cases from marlin
triangulated 4 link in the rear
t100 rear axle with a detroit
k and n filter.... want to change this out
downy headers
dual exhaust with dynomax mufflers

that's about it, all the others are just small stuff like the sound system and lights that will be goin in later...

i also have the 3.4 from the t100 waiting to go in... :D

DAM!! that thing has some nice rear flex!!!

Picked up some items needed for welding lol

The rust was really bad so I decided to pick up another rear from the salvage yard...I'm using the extra cab rear again since the window is a bit larger than the regular cab.

Also grabbed some stuff from napa

My first beads.. lol I have a lot of figuring out before I start welding on the body

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h5...r/CIMG0999.jpg

While I was going around looking for the new rear end, I made the fillings with the chopped off rear top....

I didnt like how thin the body panel was so I decided to use the sheet metal that I bought when I did the rear wheel wells...I think they're 20guage...not sure. Anyway this is what it looked like before I decided to scrap it

That's all for now... should have more soon now that I can continue with the new rear end... thanks for watching.

If you have any pointers on welding or anything let me know as Im a noob at what Im doing and trying to learn as I go along...

Nice Runner u got there keep up the good work! whats the suspension on this monster?

i am speechless. and holy huge fenders!!! lets see a pic of it with the 37s

Thanks.

the front is the usual leaf spring set up. Im currently using the trail gear 3" leafs. They havent settled yet.
The rear is a triangulated 4 link with a T100 axle...

Lol, yea the fenders are quite large.... I wanted it to match with the front and also got tired of the tires rubbing with just the 33"s. I "plan" on removing the the 3" body lift and just cut a tunnel for the trans.

I will be mounting the 37"s when Im ready to finish the rear dove tail. I want to make sure the the tires are sticking out a little...

Got some work done

Here are the results....


Fixed the rust by the driver's side window....
