Starting in on some major work. Going to stretch, dual case, 4:88s, bumpers, fenders, more lift, going auto, trussing axles. Lockers. Thus will be a long build i plan to do it in steps and use my rig still. There will be pics.

 

how much lift?

 

no diesel swap??? was looking forward to checking that out!

 

that will be last . or maybe before the lockers. the reason for the auo trans is so i can still use my jeep t-cases and stuff. the aw4 bolts to the toyota engine with a bell housing from a 4 runner with a 22re that has a a340 atuo so its on the list just not yet.

 

so it looks liek i may just use MJ rear leaves. its a 5 inch stretch and i can keep my fuel tank ware its at and not have to cut so much . with how the police have been lately i think i want to retain more of a daily use look. as to not attract attention on my way to go play. i will make a final decision tomorrow about it. after i hear back about some spring measurements

 

heres a good image for leaf measurments and such

Thank ya. I found tge leaves i want. There not as long as i had wanted but they will get me closer to the ride qyality i am after. Just gonna use mj springs.


Rossie made ne some lexan windiws to replace my rears. And i found anotger rear end to put under my rig. I may hold off till summer. Theres still snow to be had.

 

So progress has been a bit slow. But sofar i have: trussed my rear axle and moved my shock mounts. And replaced my rear windows with lexsan so they no break. I am waiting on nicer weather and a few parts to stretch. Pics tomorrow
