Check out the website link for pictures. As to long term plans well here goes:
1. SAS is the first big projects on my list. Incorporated in that will be a dual transfer case setup, upgraded axles, ARB front and rear lockers. Although I may take my rear Tru Track'd third member and put that up front and put an ARB in the rear to make the project cheaper at first.
2. Engine would have to be another priority. I have 218,000 miles on my 3.0 and it runs great, but I would like to put a newer engine into it. Not sure if I want to do a swap, rebuild existing, or put another 3.0 in it and then work on hopping up the original. I haven't really done a lot of research on this yet.
3. Performance wise I need to get some headers, build a better intake system, get rid of the blasted cat and put a new exhaust on it. Not sure what exhaust I want to use. Anybody have any suggestions?
4. Electrical wise I am going to upgrade the alt. The first time I am going to put a MR2 alt in since it is by far the cheaper way to go, but I have seen some people putting some chevy and some other aftermarket alts in their rides that are pretty sweet. I am definitly going to dual battery my truck though. I think I am going to take the batterys out of my engine bay and build a tray/box to put them under the truck where the spare tire is supposed to go. This way I will have a little more room in the bay for my previous engine plans. I am also in the process of building some wiring harnesses and couplers for all the accesories I have and will have so that the aftermarket electrical stuff, ie lights, winch and such, is clean and I don't have massive amounts of wires running around.
5. As to custom built stuff I am going to be building a front winch bumper, rear bumper/ sway a way tire carrier, a custom light bar/ quasi roll bar so I can still use my tonneau cover. I am in the process of building out of fiberglass and new center console. The overhead console I am also building right now will house my CB and have an accesorie switch panel on it as well.
Well, you asked for my long term plans and those are the major ones. The biggest thing is getting the boss to allow me to do all this stuff. Usually all i have to do is let her drive the truck several times to work, but with how much money this is going to cost I don't know now. Actually, she enjoys working on my truck too, but she wants a new car and house so we'll see.
