Just had to start showing off my project. So far I've put in a 4.0 Radiator, cheapo shackles in the rear, 1" of washers under the coils, Purple Horny Glass Pack on the exhaust, removable doors, and rubber mat on the flooring.
I plan on welding the 7.5 until i can get a 8.8 with trac-loc and a D35. Also gotta get some manual hubs, since I blew mine out this past weekend

This is before the lift...

and after the lift.

Blew the hubs out on the last pic trying to get better position but ended up just taking it head on. Kind of a hairy situation.

That is a hairy situation. Next up, tires right!?

 

[birddog321]

Yes sir. Thinking something in the 31" or 33" flavor. Just waiting on a good deal to come my way.

Bigger tires, Bro.... and I hope you are not driving that rig without doors on it!!!!

 

[birddog321]

No doors are the best!

Here's my two little helpers. The first one is my daughter helping with the Manual Hub swap. The second is an old shot of me and the boy playing around close to the house.
