Well this is what it looked like when i got it.

Well its a 85 SR5 reg cab 4 cyl. backed buy a 5speed. Spring are 5 inch all pros with 6 inch shackles. Axles are rockwells with 41 xl's.

Well when i thought i could sell the rockwells and pay for the gears and lockers in the half ton stuff i put on it.

The axles are a dana hp 44 and the rear was a 9inch with 38.5 15.50 15 on wagon rims.

Well when the wife said i had to build a cage for it. A new project while trying to sell the rockwells.

Heres one of me puting it on after welding it all up. A 12 ton chain hiost is no fun.

Well this truck is getting built on a real tite buget. The rear suspension is kind of ******* but a guy in arks. has been running the hell out of this set up for all most a year and a half. And no brakes at all. This is a trail hitch suspension or a real 3 link.

Here's one of the belly of the truck. The factory cross member set's 2 inch's lower then the hitch. The hitch is like 30inches for the ground. But I have to lift the truck another 3 inch's to clear the the front set up. pic.

One good thing about this set up is i get to point the the axle at the t-case some. Better drive line angle. The tubes weld straight to the axle tubes.

Booger Weldz this was my first cage to build well i help toymoto build some of his.You should have see us play on the cage while it was on the ground looked like it was a jungle gym.
