Got done with the small stuff finally and im ready to go. Did 1 ton swap w/ 4.56's, Detroit rear and Trac-Loc front. 35 spline stubs with drive flanges and new drive shafts F&R and change the crossover to high steer. Also upgraded from 37" Iroks to 42" TSLs on Allied beadlocks.

Very nice, lot's of flex. I bet the guy working on the other side of the fence was like wtf?. :haha:
 
Nice rig! I've been thinking about building something like this lately. My long wheel based burb is simply too long for how I'd like to wheel it. Good job.

Looks like that dog is about ready to jump over the fence and get him lol. Nice flex man! Looks good
 
How do you like the seats. Those look like the cheap buckets you can buy at like autozone and stuff

I really like the front end of your truck very nice
 
thats one sweet rig. how much did you narrow the front end. ive been thinkin about dovetailing mine front and rear.

The seats are definitely a set of the cheppies. They do the job, hold me in place allot better than the bench.

Thanks! There are a couple write ups with pics floating around. If i remember i took about 12-16 inches over all out of the rad core support.
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Got to try it out a little this afternoon and i love having the sheet metal out of the way now.

If any of you southeast guys want to ride this weekend there is a big group of us all going to Morris Mtn.
 
Cage that bad boy! Bad ass rig other then needing a cage.
 
That's a nice setup... What did you do for the seat mounts? Just a tube frame bolted to the factory locations? I need to swap out my bench seat for buckets so I've been trying to get ideas of how other guys do their mounting.

Buy me the tubing and ill get right on it. :D

Ive laid a few a these cab trucks on there sides. The cabs are pretty sturdy. Plus the are tons on trees on all these east coast jeeps trails to save my ass.

Cage and some sort of tubed back-half bed is up next.

Well i wasnt too worried about looks, just wanted something that wouldnt go anywhere. I used some 1.5" square tubing and some angle to make a base to bolt the seats too, then welded all of it to the floor pan. Then just ran my seat bolts through the square tubing.
 
Bump for some poser pics.

Added a winch and took it out to try the new setup last weekend. Everything worked sweet except for the Trac-Loc front. Now im in the market for a replacement traction aid for the front.

Sorry for the poser pics. Mostly do video now a days, not too many pics.
