Latest pics of mine:
The bed is actually from Russell's truck (vwfastg60), as it blew a head gasket and he parted it out. I have the door panels, SR5 steering wheel, tranny and some other parts too.

he was easy for me to get a hold of him, the problem was that when he installed my front end, he left stuff loose and rigged the steering up to where the truck wouldnt stay in one lane while trying to drive it. he also screwed over the guy that i bought my front end from and had his truck for 5 months longer then he should have and didnt even complete the whole job.
his custom fab work looks ok, but his install capability and his customer service sucks big time. that guy will never get another dime from me and i tell everyone who i talk to who is thinking about dealing with him.

Here's mine. 1994 regular cab automatic, 216K miles. Pretty stock right now, except BJ spacers and cranked T-bars. If money were no object I'd like to go long travel, but since money is a huge problem (hours got cut at work, got married 3 months ago, had a kidney transplant 7 months ago, children in the near future, want to buy a house ASAP....) I'm probably gonna do something similar to the 5K prerunner build from Off-Road magazine, Downey grand slam suspension, 3" lift spindle, 33's, re-gear, out back maybe deavers, fiberglass at all 4 corners + hood, etc.

Totally stock save for the shell.....and all that desert dirt on it. I wouldn't mind some more ground clearance and power, but it's my "economy car" and can't afford to give up the 28-30mpg highway. I would either get another 2wd and modify it or get a 4Runner for the dirt versatility. I'm also tempted by early Broncos, F150s, FJ40s, or FJ55s as candidates for a diesel swap.

the rear end was a stock toyota leaf pack with no overload with a deaver triple pack add a leaf and a downey HD shackle. it got a little over 10'' of travel out of that running a fox 2.0 10'' shock all mounted under the bed.
now im running a fox 2.0 14'' shock with a small bed cage that my friend made and a f55 deaver pack with a 9'' shackle. getting just under 15'' of travel with this setup.

thanks! in that pic the front end is a fabtech ivan dan long travel setup. its 2.5'' wider per side and pulled about 9'' of travel. it wasnt a bad setup but, it needed lift spindles then it would get a little over 10'' running a single fox 2.0 8'' shock. i actually just got done pulling it all off yesterday
locker in the near future though
