i know this is ment for land cruisers but i have a shot for a great deal on a 84 pickup what would you do to build into a nice rock rig? in order and for as little $$$ as possable.

i was thinking flat bed w/ nothing past frame rails, cut the sh!t out of the front fenders. 4.88 lincon lockf/r and longfeilds all on a 3in lift w/leafs and 2.5in revolver shackles. what do you think?

Why not just SOA with a nice traction bar? Save money on the lift and do all the fab yourself... From what I hear the revolver shackles are a joke. Also how do you plan on turning it with a welded front? IMHO it would be better to weld the rear then get a Aussie Locker for the front. You can't beat 200 bucks. Longs are a great idea.
