Here's my daily driver... "The Donkey" - (don't ask)
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...Picture006.jpg
Currently on 33x12.5's no lift.... Very few other mods....
Here's what I got to work with.... Little Mule - (figure I'd go with the ass theme)
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...y/parts007.jpg
On my 33's, and here are my plans
1. Fix rear heat (hard line leaking) - rerouted to front only - DONE
2. Switch tailgate and fenders from Donkey - waiting for paint to dry as we speak
3. Install 4" bracket Lift - buy shocks
3.25. Install 2"body lift on Little Mule - have - just need warmer days (only had truck for 1.5 weeks
3.50. Install 2"body Lift on The Donkey (going to install it on the mule)
4. Spool Donkey Rear (That way until the Little Mule is done I can wheel better - both 4.10'd for now)
So when the Little Mule is done I can just switch the 3rd member...
4.25. Save for 35's for Little Mule
5. Body Work - quarters and rockers
6. Paint it green - like donkey only darker
7. Regear to 5.29:1 - Lock front
8. Winch
Keep in mind this a trail only rig - unless it turns out really well - other than that "The Donkey" is the daily...
That's it for now - but you know something may change.... Please feel free to comment id you have any other ideas.concerns....

My next mod is getting the main Yaesu 857D radio unit mounted and wired up perhaps tomorrow.
Got the faceplate and antenna done over the past few weeks.

And that is the last mod for awhile, unless I get the body mount chop taken care of over Christmas vacation.
Then come spring time I might go for a rear bumper.
I have it narrowed down to one vendor now.
