hey everyone I just recently picked up an 85 standard cab 22r pickup sitting on 31's and i am looking to make it into a DD/wheeler and am looking for suggestions on what i should go about doing first to make it a capable wheeler but still be able to drive it everyday?

 

well......

broad a%% question. Daily huh? but capable... so do a E-locker out back, spend the 600 on bobby long axles upfront, gear it 5.29 throw some 35's under it. but first put some marlin or Trail gear 3-4" springs to get it up to fit em...

then throw in a 4.7 gear in the transfercase, ...somewhere in the mix put on some sliders, get rid of the bed custom flat/utility/armor or op for one of the prebuilt rebumpers or make your own.... front bumper/winch combo.....


or just keep the 31's, get some sliders, bumper.. t-case gears... and call it good... for a DD

 

x2 to what drew303 said. basically, lock, lift, tires, all to an amount you like.
