Box will be a stock toy push/pull for now. If/When I put a lift in it (SOA or Links) I will go FJ60 or something.

Seats are out of a Mazda 626 I think.

Did TJ flares yesterday, as well as replacing the back brakes (leaking wheel cyl and new shoes)

Also put some cheap 10" shocks in the rear.

Monroe Part # 32270

15.125" Compressed
25" Extended

9.875 Total Travel.

The stock shocks where only allowing about 2" of droop

The flares where defiantly a good mod, only cost my $50.00 and now the 33's will not rub anymore, and best part is, I got to cut some of the rust out of the truck and hide it LOL

Pics to come.

Next the front, Tube fenders, shock hoops and PS.

Here you go:

There is a slight lift, with longer than stock shackles, but not much.
