short update on what I am doing......I haven't had a lot of time lately to work on anything with school and all. And I have no pictures yet, seem to have lost my camera in the move to the new house :dunno: I'll try to look for it I promise

Here's the plan...

84 axle
Sky truss
diff guard
Marlin knuckle ball gusset kit
OEM knuckle service
Hy-steer
Rock rings
Brake backing plate eliminators
Might shave diff haven't decided
POR-15


Hi pinion third member
Yukon 5.29s
Aussie locker (until I can afford a selectable)
Marfields (?)

Springs Marlin 4" USA
Bilstein remote-res.
Sky shock hoops

Not sure on spring hangar kit ( I might make my own :dunno: )






some other crap
Triple drilled flanges
Breathers
u-bolt flip (FROR)
wheel spacers
ifs calipers and fj60 rotors
Marlin rear kit
Power steering box mount plate (FROR)
possibly a front frame brace (FROR)

37x13.5x17 Pitbull Rockers (concerned about weight though) or
37x14x17 Iroks (bias)
Some steel wheels to make beadlocks later (any recommendations?)

Comments and suggestions welcome! Thanks!  :usa:

IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Why not run a reg. diff, with the 5.29s, and put the $$ of the high pinion toward longfields instead?  :dunno:  seems like a better idea to me.  You can run the reg pinion with the 37s :dunno:

Alright, some progress on the SAS!    Nice looking axle so far.   It sure is sweet when the rig no longer is a daily driver.  Get more time to work on it..   :yupyup:

Cutting overload springs



My buddy oldskool giving a hand. My friends are great they just jump in and help. I don't even gotta ask! ....Can u believe that this old man can still turn a wrench?

updates are good to see (since there haven't been any in my project)...

ubolt flips would be a good idea (even if homemade) for someone who's concerned about clearance enough to shell out the dough for a hi pinion 3rd.  not flaming - just saying.  :twocents:

truck looks good man.  sas it already  :driving:

DIY, thanks for the comments! I beleive that the ubolt flip is included in the Marlin rearkit so it should be all good :beerchug:

A pic of my new g-ride (g stands for xtra ghey). A crucial part of the build. It does have AC and heated leather seats and a V6 so I can't complain. Not my ride of choice but it was free so I can't complain :disturbed:

Anyone know where I can get one of those rainbow stickers for the back? :rofl: :gay:
