Here are a few photos along the way of my hunting rig build. I am in south Mississippi so no rust! It was a 1 owner. An old lady bought it new. Wrecked it at some point. No Unibody issues thankfully. She passed away and it sat up for 2 years. I bought it 2 years ago for $400.00. 180K miles. The body work was done by a friend that has been a Bodyshop owner for 40 years. So far I changed out several sensors. the complete engine bay wiring harness, new brakes all the way around with a new brake booster. Upgraded the fuel injectors to Bosch 4 hole injectors. New fuel pump. New hoses, New starter, new battery and changed out the door checks. I bought 17" steel D ring wheels and 33 1/2.50 17 Toyo mudders. Almost finished with the 4.5" long arm suspension lift with 1.75 front leveling kit. Upgraded shocks, 1 ton steering and new power steering box. Everything under the front end that could cause problems will be replaced. Ball joints, tie rods, pitman arms etc. I have a winch bumper ordered and on the way. A Warn winch will be installed. It's almost ready to take out and run it through the paces. Got a few more things to do under the front end as well as a few adjustments to go. Going to rattle can it OD green. As far as the interior, I will add the heat/noise reduction barrier throughout along with new carpet and headliner. I will continue to add more photos as I go along. Thanks for looking!
