I just caught on that you have 3 builds. Will eventually get around to going thru them. I hear you on the front ends. They can add up but make driving so much easier.

A friend of mine has a Webber and it really cleans up uner the hood and they have got to have a whole lot less issues. I missed out on one on Craigslist the other day. I want to get one someday for the truck. His runs great and guess he has uses them all the time on other trucks he has had. I am impressed with his current Webber.

You have been fightin' for this truck!. I had an idea for the bed, you should finish cuting everything underneth then cut out the rust. After that you would have plenty of room for your 33's. You would have flat bed claerence and a toyota looking bed side. How did the 4.70 tcase work on the trail?

I have fought for this truck lol. Its the only thing I got. I have thought about what to do with the bed. Its got some broken mounts and bounces around back there.
Do you mean cuttin it like this? My buddy clearanced for 36s

The 4.7s are great out on the trail. A little low and I kinda miss the stock low range but I can manage. I think I am going to run duals when I get the money for the adapter kit.

yep, then maybe incorperate the rear bumper into the fender for some protection. also i dig the color on your half doors, maybe you should por15 the bed and get some paint on it to mach them to stop the rust before it falls off haha.

glad to hear the 4.7's worked out, when you have 33's and a locker it will be much more usefull. as for the lift, i wouldn't wast the time or money, it would be much better spent on new skids or a good set of tires. plus your steering will thank you later.

cool truck man, keep up the good work!!
