844x4

Hello guys!!

I'm relatively new to 4x4's but not really to the automotive world.
I live in Sacramento and earlier this year I accquired an 84 pickup.  It was pretty basic when I first got it
but it had a lift and 33 inch swampers.  Since getting the truck I have added a roll bar, swapped the bench seat over to buckets from an 86 truck, made a set of rock sliders, installed 5.29 gears in front and rear axles with a detroit in back and a lock right in front and finally bobbed the bed with the help of my brother. 
My plan is to get dual transfer cases and to fab up a rear bumper in the near future and to put on some paint camo or a solid flat I can't decide.  anyways here are a few pics...I don't have any pics of the sliders yet.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

Thanks guys....
ANy one know some good wheelign spots not too far from Sacramento other than Prairie City?
I would love to find some places to make a short day trip within an hour of here.

Also, if you had my set up what would be the most beneficial mod to do next?
I'm still debating because I can't afford to do all of em right away.

a) cross over steering and u bolt flip kit.
b) dual transfer cases.
c) chevy spring swap in rear.

Not sure on any wheeling spots near sac, except stuff in the sierras, then i know it pretty well..

I'm better with jeeps,but i'd say gearing! Since i can't really do it :(... Go duals, you don't need lift to get over and through stuff, gearing is what makes it truly crawl! Sounds like a pretty good build up! Keep posting pics, maybe even start a build up thread  :-\.. :welcome: again.
