deployed, need ideas!!!

Alright ladies and gents, I'm deployed and when I get home I'm going to do some things to my truck lockers are already going on, as-well-as gears 529s and air arb rear and detriot tru trac front, but the front end is leaking everywhere I need to replace everything and make it beefier, any thoughts there?? Was also thinking cam, batery relocation, cage front to rear, I would love to have some nice seats but looking at corbeau I dont think the boss will let that happen. any ideas are welcome and appreciated. Let me know

well going of your profile you have an 85 runner so i would totally get rid of that stupid push pull turning setup and go with the high steer...lift it i dont know what all you have done to your truck so anyways lift it suspension or body personially i love the way a body lift looks but hell it sounds like your on the right track if your running gears you probabbly already have tires and if you have tires you probablly already have a lift lol put some bumpers,sliders winch,rollbar,lights,trail armor,weber carb(if your not efi),dual cases,there is list that just doesnt stop well i hope i helped ya a lil bit

First come home in one piece , A 3.4 swap , 36's and tube doors.

Thanks for doing your part even though most don't believe we should be there.

Best mod I ever did to my crawler, hands down, was dual transfer cases. Your driving will become instantly smoother, and you will break a lot less parts because of this. I wheel a lot with other toyotas (they are efi, and I'm carb) and even though they have fuel injection they aren't a smooth as me because they are just charging up everything with speed. If you don't want to re do your drive train to fit the extra reduction box then I'd at least put some 4.70 crawler gears in the single case, but I like the dual cases because of 2 low range. I use it almost more than 4x4. Good luck in Iraq (if that's where you're going). My good friend from way back just got done and we're about to go nuts building his truck in September.

Thanks for the ideas

I maybe should have told you guys what I have done to the truck already first huh? Its an 85 sr5 5spd 165,000 on the odometer custom front and rear bars (tube), msd offroad ignition, electric fan (black majic), pulley, rs 9000 shocks I think, 5 inch susp skyjacker, 1 inch body, flat black xd wheels, 33, 1250 nito mud grapplers, I already have high steer unit on it, I also took a look at toyotaholics and saw some half doors that I really liked that I think that I'll try to duplicate. I also looked at wabfab and it looks like they have some really quality stuff, I'm going to go with the transfer gear down 4.70 kit, prob do some armor underneath, and rock sliders and maybe a bikini top. The cage is in the works and I'm pulling out all the interior out and hurculining all of it , one last thing guys I would like to get a lockable console are there any good fits or ideas there??? thanks again.
