me three. lol


ummm i always change my mind. but one thing i know for sure, keep it a DD, but have some fun. the 32s i bought i wanted for a beach trip, they were cheap, needed something wider for the sand.
want some lift, max of 35s, possibly 33s. doing a locked SOA for the back to achieve that. front im worrying about later. i like the way the cab lights look....
in the long run for the front i want a 60" wms D44 solid axle on leafs, locked.

id like to get a stinger bumper for the front, to ram zombies with and all. and i want a tire carrier bumper for the back, and i saw someone who made one that protected the tire with a stinger bar on the back. it looked awesome, so im thinking that.

engine was a sad sack of shit, so i rebuilt it to be better overall with some speed. tranny is dieing, so im gonna replace that too, along with better performance parts for it.


just a good DD thatll not prevent me from getting to and from work due to flooding and or snow. but where i can go have fun and not get stuck(as easy)


i really need to make my mind up on which seat im gonna take. lol

Yeah, you at east need a direction to keep focus on, stick with it. The more you change your mind and change the project, sometimes the longer it plays out. Just don't lose interest in it man. Sounds like you have some killer plans for you 'sploder'!

So, is the front lifted also (to accommodate the desired tire size) , or is the face down, ass up, that's the way we lik. . . wait wut?

yea i can see the light at the end, but i keep getting sidetracked with other ideas lol

well the fronts lifted now cause i put the bigger tires on there. but with the new axle and going SOA, yes my ass will be sticking up
i want some spacers for now to fit the tires up front, later on a 4" front lift (+spacers), then it should match the ~6" SOA lift

LOL I fugged up and forgot the L.

Gotcha, so as fer now you're going for the hot rod thing! (what it will look like anyway). Just stick to your plans, I didn't on my build. I changed a few things here and there and it ended taking me a little over a year to get it done. (that and I don't trust myself welding suspension pieces) I was gonna go with Toyo axles (scrapped idea), coils (scraped idea), CJ fronts with Sami rears (scrapped), no missing links (scrapped) . . . To say the least, I'm extremely happy with where it is now. Just not with the length of time it took.

yea, until i get rammed in the ass enough to buy a front lift lol

if youre wondering about the bumper at all, it got screwed up so i beat on it to fix the frame brackets and cut off the bent section of the bumper


so far: 37" humvee tires, 37 iroks from someone at work, d60/sterling, d44/9, ttb d44 front/ttb d50 rear(still think thatd look cool), rockwells, 4 link front and rear for any combo, leafs front and rear for any combo, chop top and cage(will happen if i roll and its really bad), cowl hood, removing interior for bed lined floors.
i know there was more, i just cant remember

one thing i do want: manual transfer case. going under and shifting is fine, but doing it while sitting in my seat would be nicer. (my electric crap crapped out, dont care for it)

Well don't put yourself in a bind, but it sure would be great to have you out!

Don't you hate it when things work out that way, you're ready to buy, sellers not. You buy something else, sellers ready 100%.
