believe it or not it is the exact same spot, i was trying to stay on the right side and my rear slid down in the ditch and it stood strait up and slowly layed over.
 
Wow!! I was just bullshitting but now I remember you saying that you flopped in the same spot as him.
 
getting ready to start my next round of mods to make it more street friendly. I picked up a trailmax II 42" fold and tumble seat, Lexus IS300 wheels studs, ARB front locker, 200 amp alternator and a new rear drive shaft.
 
New oil pan from Beno came in yesterday along with my new driveshaft/ and I got started it on putting it in today. I HATE doing oil pan gaskets. Here are a few pics of the new pan and drive shaft. Notice the drain plug. The new pans have a smaller plug.

Your not suppose to be working on your truck in KEEN's!!! Where the hell are your work boots ,safety glasses, and earplugs ???
 
Why not?? I should have taken a picture of myself after i put the pan on. I had FIPG from my hands up to my shoulders and all over my face.
 
Let's see a pic of the new bench seat (if you have a pic yet) . The oil pan and driveshaft look sweet!

You have any pics with the car seats in?
 
And yes I know I should remove the side seats just havnt done it yet :lol:

Sent from outer space via my mind
 
I finally mounted the rear seat tonight. I climbed in the back and It sets pretty good. I'm 6'5" and I have my front seats moved back for leg room and there was still plenty of room for me.
 
Had a little spare time today and dropped a arb in the front 3rd member. Might get to put it in tomorrow or this weekend.

Mwalls, is the rear driveshaft a custom order? Who from?

At some point, can you show the floor pan work you had to do to the tub to make the toybox fit?

Thanks, Dan
 
Hey Dan I ordered it from tom woods. It saves the trouble of calling around for a shop to make a flange for a lc. I will try and get a pic of the floor board tonight or tomorrow. You thinking about adding a toybox?
