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...

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

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

Thanks.

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...
