Ok so now that I've finally picked a name for my project cruiser I figured my slow buildup thread would be needed. A lot of my mods are missing pics since I don't have a digi-cam and my sister who does is normally busy with schoolwork.

Purchase 10/05:
Already has a 4" Lift and 33x12.5 BFG MudTerrain's
Has PTO and one really ugly carpet kit.
Lots of rust I have yet to discover.
Aluminum Wheels
Pics from about 2-3 week after owning it that shows installed rear seat and lots of crap

Late Summer '06:
Rear sill comes off with some time and my own two hands:

You can see what I have to make sure the floor doesn't cave in untill I fix the rear sill

About 1 week later:
Removed rear doors due to rust and noise

Today 10/08/06:
My cruiser has been half torn apart for about 1 week now. I am in the process of doing a SOA conversion with FJ55 rear springs. Still waiting on USPS to get my package here from Ruff Stuff.

I will try to get pics of the cruiser with it's rear axle sitting behind it

To be continued...

Took some pics of how the truck sits yesterday. Took a wire wheel to the axle as prep for the spring perches. Can't wait for those spring hangers from ruffstuff!

Actually it's fixed I just don't have any pics of that yet ;p What is amusing is that I kept it upside-down for so long just because it made mud guys nuts
