    Made a little progress today. Got most of the bed done and tacked in. Still need to do another support for the bed rails on each side and add some bracing to keep the bedsides from flapping around.

    Got the bedsides trimmed up yesterday and gave the ol girl a bath today. Tail lights came in a few days early and I also got the bedsides painted up to match

    You have less cab but a lot more tube in the back. It'd be interesting to compare too

    I want to but I'd rather buy beadlocks or an fj80 rear axle. I've only wheeled at night once or twice and I never drive it at night

    He's running chromo's up front and has broken one of the shafts but never a birf. The rear axle is 100% stock. E-lockers front and rear and 4.10 gears. Dual cased with 4.70's in the front and the stock chain drive in the rear.
