Stumpy the yota
I just realized I never did a build thread on my junk. I remember when I bought the truck I looked for ever at pics and ideas to add to my own rig. I thought I would share.
The Beginning:
I added a bunch of bolt on stuff Don't be jealous I picked up some Pro Comp Xterras 31's and some SWEET Dick Cepeck DC1 rims I thought they looked nice . Most thought they were hideous
I did some dual cases with twin stick and a hand throttle . This was a GOOD add on
Well I thought to myself ,What could a tired 22re motor need ? Yep, a set of 35" boggers
I custom cut them for better traction.
I wheeled it like this for a bit . Old man emu torsion bars and springs and a 4 crawler bj lift . The IFS did not like the 35"s so I did the IFS eliminator front and rear matching lift 4" springs, and some Dirty 30's Huge improvement! A little tall , but it rocked offroad and rode really nice and soft on the road.
This was before the rear lift. Saggy bottom
I bought some tube doors and rocked it!
I added a on board air system for airing down
Baby air tank!
Rear outlet
Front outlet
Did some cool diamond plate floor mats
I bought a 4x innovations cage kit in dom and had a better welder than me burn the welds . I did tack them
seat belts for the kiddo's
I did manage to get it stuck every once in a while!
Most of the time it rocked!
I even helped a Jeep out!
I wanted new shoes for it so I went big ! 39.5 Pitbull Rockers
They needed some beadlocks so I went with Trailworthy Fab recentered H1's. By the way these are the cheese!!!!! I can air down to 0psi if I want. I cut the living daylights out of the fender areas and firewall and finished it off . I also added some tubing to the fender areas for added protection.
I was tired of dragging my butt on every obstacle so Off with about 12" of rear!
No turning back!
welded and primed
Done!
This mod was not fun! I also moved my shackles back 1 1/2 " for a better angle and so the tailgate will open.
I cut my factory doors too !
Before, TOO LONG!
After, Just right!
The doors cut
She rocks now!
That's It for now .

The dual cases allow you to crawl in a lower gear. It makes my truck able to have power and not kill my clutch. Excellent mod to do !

I was thinking it would be cool to use the piece I cut for the 1/2 doors and make them whole again. I welded 1/4" rod to perimeter of the insert (after trimming 1/4" off the entire cut for clearance) . Then I welded 2. 1/4" rods for locating pins . I drilled matching holes in door and used plastic snap grommets The top will have a spring loaded lever to pop them into place. I will make some jeep style vinyl window inserts for the top and hopefully I will have convertible doors.

Here is my truck next to a buddy of mines Tacoma on 31"s. His truck is sick! It's a long travel with a bed cage ,supercharged 3.4 with bypass fox shocks all the way around. It is a dune screamer and excellent Offroad . He cant follow me through the rocks but pretty much everywhere else! Mine not as tall as you think . I still easily fit thru a standard garage door.

I finished the door inserts by fiberglassing the handle opening and keyhole. Then used some duraglass filler for the next layer and finished it off with some rage gold filler . Sanded it all smooth and primed and painted them. They turned out great.
