Bout time I got some updates. Finaly got 1991 2wd f150 4pack leaf springs, two sets of 81 yota rear leaf packs, front range off-road dual case Crossmember, sky's rear Chevy hanger kit, and TG dual case adapter.

Here is the start:

I
Got 2-3 inches out of the springs and 6inch shackles, those are still the worn 31's

Shackle angle under its own weight

Going to try out the Mastercraft MXT's in the 35x12.50-15 flavor.

[spuds015 [OP]]

Got the front springs on, made from 2 Toyota rears and a couple Wagoneer front leafs and 6 inch shackles. Also found a broken center pin on and almost broken rear main leaf

Under its own weight

Little test droop

[spuds015 [OP]]

Got the steering all done rolling on all 4s and super stoked! Right now it sits 1.5 -2 inches low in the rear so I guess I'll throw some blocks in there.

Little test flex. Poor tractor couldn't go any higher haha

[spuds015 [OP]]

Got transfer cases done today. Never thought I'd spend so much time and money to go slower haha



With that done all that is left is drive shafts, front brake lines, shocks and 2 inch lift blocks and she should be ready to roll!

[spuds015 [OP]]

At long last she is rolling on 35's under her own power! Got the rear drive shaft shortened, RS5000's on all four corners. Super excited for Rubicon memorial weekend!

[spuds015 [OP]]

Made it to the Rubicon and back a couple months ago. Didnt take enough time to get pics and vids cuz I was having too much of a blast! Even made it through the neutered little sluice. Nothing broke and everything worked great is the best part.
My buddy's Sami on narrowed 1/2 ton D44's

And the obligatory group photo

Then some poser shots from today
