Guess I'll start a build-up thread,here's what I started with.I bought this project from some younger cat from this board a few months back.It was originally a 2WD on bags and he was in the process of converting it into a crawler but ran out of money.This is what it looked like when I bought it,it had a Dana 44 front and a Chrysler 9 & 1/4 rear,no bed,no gas tank so I didn't even hear it run when I bought it.He did a really nice job on the welding but some of the other mods were a little hokey.

Dana 60 for the front.The Jeep I owned before this truck had 1 tons,42s and an Atlas so I didn't wanna settle for anything less in the axle dept.

On the truck.The truck had Rancho 44044s up front and stock Taco rears and I went with All-Pro 5" springs front & rear.

I have 2 kids so the plan was to have the cage come out the back of the cab and make it a walk-thru.

I am sure it looks different in person but from this pic it looks like your kids may hit the back of their heads on the \ / tubes. Is it as close as it looks?

Your rig is looking sweet! :smokin:
