Head unit and ARB compressor and locker switches fwd of the 4x4 shifter


Cutting and grinding all the original IFS brackets off the frame


Setting front shackle mounts




Pile of old parts

 

Awesome truck!

 

Cool mods!

Hey, just wondering what you painted the frame with after all the grinding down and re-welding of the shackles? I have rust issues on my '01 and need to re-weld the inside of the frame rails. Just wanted some advice on what to paint it with after all the welding is done. I've heard of folks using POR-15....but seems pricey (at least in my neck of the woods...).

 

got lift?
looks good, i like the in-dash

 

Just a couple coats of primer, then a coat of heavy duty undercoating.

 

Looks good!

 

What kind of wheels are those, nice

 

Nice truck! What kind of D ring shackles are those? I have the same bumper and cant find anything that fits snug!
