[QUOTE="boardbysled, post: 1408975, member: 18596"] First off, I'd like to tell you guys that I am a poor and cheap bastard, thus this thread will contain some cheaper parts and some cheaper ways of doing things rather than just buying parts. But, I am gonna try to do everything so that it will last, and that I won't have to tear into it again, no ghetto fab! There are quite a few reasons for me doing this rebuild. The main one is installing my front locker. I am also installing toyota rear main springs to move my axle forward, and stop it from hitting the oil pan. It is also going to equal out the pitman arm/high steer arm center to center difference. Also, I'll get a slightly longer wheelbase, and slightly better approach angle. And I am going to redo some of the ghetto fab that was on here from the first part of the build, and hopefully get some better articulation. Also, it will allow me to stay low and fit 35's with the same amount of lift that I have now hopefully. And here is one of the main reasons behind me starting the project: [IMG]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs907.snc4/72064_177620868925055_100000314301973_448444_3599839_n.jpg[/IMG] My frame and my shackle are getting all lovie-dovie:mad: Here is a few more random pic's I took today.
