Here it is now. It has a 3" body lift, 2" blocks in the rear and a torsion twist up front, and it's sitting on 33x12.50/17's. We have it all apart right now to do a bunch of stuff to it. It's getting a 3" rancho suspension lift, 4.10's and a rear locker to replace his 3.55's. Disc brake conversion, discs off of a Jeep for the rear, and Disc's off of an 02 dakota in the front so the lift will fit. The frame is getting coated in POR-15. And the axles, suspension, and just about anything else we can take off of it are going down to humboldt so that Jon can work his magic on them.
It may be a while before I have any updates since the store we both work at is closing, and we're getting moved to different ones, so we don't know when we'll be able to take some vacation time to get the stuff down to Jtsmiths house.
Now for the pictures
Up until now
His custom tail lights
His pretty valve covers and air cleaner
And his bumpers
Here's what it looks like at the moment
That POR-15 sure is glossy
And parts storage, gotta love it when the grandparents are in California for the winter so we can take over the garage, and make use of the living room for parts storage
We've learned a couple of valuable lessons on this project, harbor freight slide hammers are JUNK, and you can never have enough jack stands. We have all 12 that my dad, brother and I own amongst ourselves put into use.
