[QUOTE="Pook, post: 1051460, member: 16813"] So after weeks of trying to squeeze myself into my schedule, I booked today off. Woke up and figured I really should go work at a jobsite for a couple hours...bad idea. I worked all day. Finally got home and made room and got the truck into the shop. The Plans for the 2008 rebuild. -Shrinking wheelbase down to 106" (currently 112" perfect for trail wheeling IMHO but not so hot for cone dodging) -Moving the motor back the full 8" and making sure its dropped the max 1" allowed in the Ftoy rules. -New Warn Lay down winch (no more boat anchor upright) -Whole new front end, grill, hood and skins for the whole rig.(need to look our best out there ) -Install New Diamond housings front and rear. (Thanks to Brian at Diamond Axles for helping make this possible, It'll be nice to not have to worry about bent axle housings ever again.) Front is 5" wider than stock, Rear is IFS width, Disk brakes all around using a Sky diskbrake kit from Big Country Customs. -Rear V6 third ARB, no more welded diff -New Chromoly Rear Trail-Gear axle Shafts with 1/2" ARP wheels studs -New Marlin Crawler Clocked Dual Case adapter. -New and Improved Flatbelly skidplate. -Trail-Gear's superduper Power steering pump and an upgrade to a 2" bore hydro assist ram. -Relocating rear springs and making new shackle mounts to shorten the wheelbase 6" and to stop springs from kinking. -As much as I like my carb I'm going EFI, picked up an 89 EFI setup -Winches setup Front and rear to suck up the suspension. -Bobby Longs latest Generation of 30 Spline birfs And a bunch more stuff [/QUOTE]
