To start I am currently deployed we are heading home in a few more weeks but before I deployed I bought a little 89 2WD standard cab truck. I am going to build this up for mild wheeling and hunting. I have a FJ 40 built on 39's as my main wheeling rig. I have lots of stuff already I have a set of mini axles 85 front with 5.29's and aussie locker longfields and Sky widening kit already built. I have 88 rear with 5.29's detroit and disc's. I also have the W56 with duals (both 2.28) I am going to put in. I bought two sets of 48 in rear springs to make my front packs and I am going to run 63 in chev rear. Since I have been here I bought the hanger kit (Sky) for the front axle gusset and creeper kit and high steer from trail gear. I ordered the rear 63in kit (Sky). I already have a set of 35 in BFG's on powder caoted black outlaw II's in the shop at home and the IFS box and mount kit. I am primarliy building this for hunting and mild wheeling. I want to yank the bed and build a flat bed with some extra's but I have to build it to be able to handle my quad (Rincon) as well. I was using my Cummins till this past bear season and never again I am still trying to get the redneck racing stripes out of the black paint. I will be back stateside in about 16 days I have two weeks off I want to get the suspension and drive train done in my two weeks off. Is there anything beside shocks brakelines and d-shafts I am missing? I will look forward to posting it here with tons of pic's when I start. THANKS.

 

I just ordered front range crossmember kit and ballistic fabs weld on beadlock kit. I am going to run it on a set of FJ 60 wheels I have with the set of 36in TSL's in the shop. I knew this would get out of control quick. I set here and see all the stuff being built and wish I was home putting together my truck. Thanks fella's for the awesome web site and all the tech here.

 

Well I head home tomorrow this deployment is over....

I apologize for not posting pictures and all but be sure they are coming SOON. This week I order a Marlin heavy duty clutch and slave cylinder.

I do have a quick quetion I am lookinng for a good set of seats for it I have been scouring C/L with no luck. I have looked at beard-mastercraft and corbeau but I am hesitant to spend much $$$ on a set of seats. I think I will head to pull and save and see what I can come up with for it. Any reccomendations for seats to look for.

Again I apologize for the lack of pictures but they are on the way.

22hrs fling in thenext two days and I am back stateside.....

 

I am home now and the build starts tomorrow. I will be attaching pictures of everything as soon as I figure out how to host them on image shack or photo bucket???
