Project Peanut Butter Jelly

[bobbed_84_toy]

Bought this thing when I was 18. I didn't know any better :redneck:

460/np435, built 9" and dana 44, 42s, super stiff suspension, typical mall crawler bolt ons that broke everytime I tried driving through a puddleuke:


Decided I'm not gonna finish the truggy anytime soon, so I'm making this pig somewhat wheelable.


Dana 60 front, 14bolt rear, 5.38 gears, 44's, 4link front, deavers rear, blah blah


Just finished swaping in the deavers, moved them back a couple inches and moved them up so the hanger doesn't hang below the frame. Should be around 4-5" lift when done

shaved 14bolt rear

Back on it's own weight. Need to move the shackle back aways. These deavers flattened a lot more then I expected they would. Looks like I got some trimming to do too

Will start the rear bumper and tin work (led tail lights, bob and pie cut the bed, fender cut) while I gather up the parts for the front end

Did you shave the 14 bolt?

Did you shave the 14 bolt?

No, I bought it from a guy named Eli. I have no idea if he is on the board but he works with John (avanteone) if you want some info about it :awesomework:

when I saw the title to this thread, I thought of that "peanut butter, jelly time " song, looks like a fun project

pulled alot of crap off the back that I didn't want. Put a fuel cell in, fixed my shackle angle, mounted the fuel pump and filter, and started some tin work

Still got lots to do on the fenders, but you can get the idea of what they will look like

I was actually in the process of parting this thing out when I ran across a killer deal on some rockwells that I couldn't pass up.
