[scarecrow]

i just picked up this little project. its a 85 extra cab that needs to be finished. my plans for the truck is 5.29s , dual cases , 38s or 39s if they will fit , weld the rear and install a locker in the front and add a fresh coat of paint. nothing fancy just spray bomb. either royal blue , orange or lime green i cant make up my mind. here is what the prievous owner installed.

-trail gear winch plate
-trail gear IFS box mount
-3" trail gear springs 
-Trail gear Ubolt flip kits 
-used good IFS box
-v6 calipers with wagner pads 
-used 150k mile 22r, sounds good
-stock 5 speed from 85 22r truck
-new flywheel 
-stock tcase
-NAPA zoom clutch 
-braided stainless brake lines
-TG x-over
-rebuilt front axle, stock shafts, stock gears. Has TG knuckle ball gusset kit , full length gusset on the housing,  Marlin inner seals. Trail gear knuckle bearings/felt kit. Brand new wheel bearings and seals. Aisin hubs, Fj60 rotors.

right now there is no interior and it does not run. i have been screwing with it for a week now on and off and i cant figure it out.  here are some pics of how it sits right now with 33s.
