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!

that's an impressive level of detailed tape work! Any other before and after or progress pictures of this affected area?

That rig has good look about it. What size tires?

Edit- I see they're 33s on 17s. Nice.

Keep up progress!
