Get a trans in this thing first.
I would like front and rear tow points, bump stops, limiting straps, rock sliders and lighting.
Doubt any of it will happen.

Ha! That's a mere trifling compared with what you accomplished before BB15.
My bank account just started quivering haha
Yes another long bed!
Yeah this will be a new experience for me, having all that sheet metal and all.
Nevermind the wheel base!
Just hoping I don't kill the rear driveshaft
I put a small dent/crease in mine.
Yeah I'm looking at mine. I might put 1350 ends on my factory shaft and use it as a trail shaft.
But I have to drive mine home
Is yours 1 or 2 piece? I did fine with my 2 piece shaft for 2 years until we ran Holy Cross. Dinged mine up on the creek crossing; would have been fine if I'd waited for a spotter....
Didn't notice until we jumped on the highway headed home. I dinged it up again on the exit of Steel Bender but it didn't throw it off balance luckily.I want to relocate the carrier bearing so that I have the same angle I did on my K5. The K5 had the rear axle moved back about 4" and with the SYE the angle was pretty good for lack of vibration and I never had trouble dinging it up like I have the crew cab.
I'm in for the pictures. Last years thread was great.
Pretty sure that is what I have, don't remember. I get a slight vibration at 75+
Looks like I might be doing the same. Going to try my best to get a trailer.
This is a single. But I have always had 2 driveshafts, so it would be normal for me. Driving it out, then swap. No biggieIs yours 1 or 2 piece?

I will probably relocate the carrier bearing once I change the ends
I should add a rest bumper and possibly spare drive shafts to the list. I would like my interior put back together and a paint job, even if it is something cheap.
Paint is overrated, buy parts
The multicolored panels drives me nuts.
If you have a carrier bearing then you have a 2 piece shaft.
I have both. Single is in it, 2 piece will be the trail shaft
Adds character, scares away rock rash
