Ok so guys I had the old thread deleted so I could start this one and actually show some real things. More or less i was ashamed of the other one! haha. I decided to give up on the body, this one is more or less junk(other than the cab and box) so im just gonna rock it like this.

FOR SURES:
Rollbar Mounted(with swing to lay it back in the bed.
Bob the rear section of bed.
Trim bumpers to make smaller and look better.
1 Ton leaf springs(no 1 ton axles for me yet)
Cut all 4 wheel wells 2 inches
Line-X lower portion of truck
Remove all "wal-mart" lights to get rid of the Teenager look
Rewire all after markets
Install 2 inch suspension lift
Install 2 inch body lift
35's and new rims
Disconnetable sway links
Exhaust

MAYBES:
1 ton axels
Roll cage
Custom interior(bucket seats, center console, etc.)
Dovetail
Custom front and rear bumpers
Newer motor(EFI?)
5 speed(someday boys and girls)

Looks like something good to start with. Whats going to be main use of this truck?? Work truck, dd, Or woods beater?-Chris

[94XJDRIVER]

OK so got a few small things done

Finished up the switch panel for my fog lights, and 2 more holes for outters and inners on the rollbar



Got wire today. 10 gauge should do te trick.


Got The rollbar in and lights bolted on it(drilling those holes were quite the battle



wiring everything will be tommorrow i gotta work in little while.

It is my DD as of about a week ago, rents vehicle bit it so i gave them the Expedition to use. But its gonna stay street legal, but want it to tackle small rocks, good mud, and of course trails.
Kind of a all around usable, functional and reliable truck.

I wanna stay under a budget of 2500-3000 bucks all in all. So i got some wiggle room.

[ctolb]

i am not a genius in order of operations but wouldn't you do the more important bigger things before the fog lights and such?

looking good though good luck

[mudpuppy]

Is that a roll bar or light bar? Light bar bolts to bed. roll bar goes through the bed to the frame. If its a light bar be careful I had one and ended up braking it. truck looks good
what tires you gonna put on it?

[adealac]

your wanting to get rid of the "teenager look"? well then start by removing the gay stickers in the windows and rool bar. other than that, looks good to me.

Looks good man
First time I've ever seen anyone put a toolbox behind the roll bar. I had always thought of when I get my roll bar for my truck that I would get the kickers to mount to the wheel wells. And then have the toolbox underneath it so its against the roll bar. But the kickers would go over the top of the toolbox. However, seeings how I got the 5'' stacks already lol. That would look like a cluster in the bed

Definitely looking good though. I like the custom toggle switch board.... pretty clever. Are you putting 35'' Thornbirds on this thing?

[94XJDRIVER]

No T-birds for me. ZacD changed my mind quickly on that one.

MTR Goodyears for me.

I got that idea for the toolbox cuz my freind that i bought the rollbar from had his like that. Im gonna build a box that goes inside the rollbar eventually.
