should be is an understatement.....my steering and trackbar setup will be finished tomorrow, and I'll be installing the brake lines the day after that. then i need to wire the lockers, mount the tires on some rims, trim, get a front driveshaft made, and then.............lol.

If that projector headlight unit infront of the dent is broken, I'll take it off your hands

I wouldn't mind an SAS swap... or the 1-ton IFS swap for my rig... It'd make the V8 swap easier!

Lookin' nice & mean!

Interesting. Might the same be feasible on a 97 4door?

Should be... might need a touch more lift on a 4 door, just incase it's settled a little lower...

Hrmph. I might give it a shot then once my 2" body lift comes in. I've already cranked my tbars and put in 2" shackles.

I've got a set of the same exact tires in my garage that I took off of my Toyota Tacoma actually on a set of soft 8's.

One question though if anyone knows, with all the trimming and modification that was done; How limited is your turning radius before hitting frame?

id go with a SFA swap as well. i used to have a 85 s10 blazer with 33 12.50s and i would break cv joints like crazy. my truck had a 2.8 too with a dead cylinder so you can imagine how slow and underpowered it was and i was still busting shafts. it was only when i turned though. if i kept the truck staright id have no problems
