Here's a picture of the brush guard I'm making. It is a center section that came off of a Mitsubishi pickup truck and the grills are from a land rover


In this picture you can see the mounting brackets I made which actually allow it to slide on and off like a trailer hitch. This way I can remove it at anytime. I found all the parts at a junk yard and these mounting brackets were the extendable bumper brackets from a chevy camper special.


And here is a picture of one of my mud flaps that was recycled from a fire engine. It is one mud flap cut in half and together they read LA Co Fire.
Also pictured is my jerry can that I am trying to figure out where to mount. Furthermore, in this picture you can see the base of my high-lift jack which is mounted onto a plate, u-bolted, to my slider. The top of the jack is secured onto a bolt with a wing nut to hold it down and a lock to secure it. This can be seen in the next picture.

I have started a new project with this truck. I'm taking off the lift and putting on stock springs and shocks. Stay tuned to see the result. I have tested the flex before and I will test it when I am done. I hope to gain a smother ride, better handling, and a lower center of gravity. The lift is procomp 3 inch lift springs front and an add a leaf plus shackle lift in the rear. I am putting in fully original spring packs front and rear unmolested. Also the shocks are going to be stock length but not the little skinny shocks that come from the factory. I am also sanding off all the surface rust from the axles and the suspension components and spraying it all black. I hope that my truck will look nicer with the addition of paint but I don't think that the paint will hold up too long off road. In order for my 31x 10.50s to fit I have wheels which stick out farther than stock. I really hope they do not rub.
