Doesn't look to bad.... That's a bummer tho. I can't believe you flopped it the first time you took it out.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Like you say, it's not too bad. And after all if I didn't want to scratch it I guess I should stick to Mall Crawling... Hahahahaha!

I like that square tube rear bumper on your friends multicolor IFS '86.  If I didn't put fiberglass on the rear of mine, I would have gone that route.

Yeah, it's pretty slick.  That little truck is rediculous, I have never seen an IFS rig go that many places or be wheel that hard and not break.  That guy has no issue with the WFO 3rd gear bump.

I like money, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in..-

Truck looks bad ass man. Coming from your runner to your 2wd SAS, was SAS'n the truck any more difficult since it was 2wd? Im pretty much looking to do the same thing with a 1st gen toyota but havent decided if it was worth it yet.

For some reason I have not followed this thread. Took a look see tonight and saw what you flopped on. It reminds me of what I flopped on last year in Moab, basically nothing. I had just run all the hard parts on Rusty Nail and we were heading to another trail when........

Wow, apparently I forgot all about this thread. Thanks for all the comments guys.  Just a little update for everyone. Got myself some new shoes today. Not new but new to me. "You can't lose with 42's".... Oh, and it still fits in and out of the garage. Bonus!

It's hard to say if it was harder.  In the end I'm sure it was about the same amount of work, maybe a little less grinding when it came to the front end.  But then you have to take into consideration your skid plate for your tcases and what not.  I just built my own tabs off the frame and that made it easy.

Took it out today for a quick little wheeling session.  Didn't get many pics but here are a few.
