Then we (the owner mainly) decided on a repower. supposedly the mounts were a direct bolt in.
I wasn't impressed with the fit, or the stock mounting points.
SO.....
made new ones.
here you can see the new front leaf hanger that extended the frame.
another angle
Sum mounts

Oh yeah... we needed a regear
guess we gotta lift the rear too.....
Guess I don't have any pics of the rear stuff, but it's f150 springs with an extra leaf.
Rears up front
Took 2 tries (not my math lol)
Marlin dual case?
Sure
Auto floor pan is different, had to cut some stuff

WIRES EVERYWHERE!!!
We armored the daylights outta the front axle, filled it with an elocker, longfields, marlin hysteer, ifs calipers, 40 rotors, etc etc etc.
However, I haven't got any pictures of it apparently...
This is the best I've got.
Here you can see nice long spring perches and our "custom" u-bolt mounting to work with the cut and turned knuckles (should be 4 degrees caster)

Wait.... what's the other stuff in the pics of the wiring?
This had to be supported
So a piece of 2 inch .120 wall DOM
Then we started an in-cab cage
Got some sheer plates from DIY4X4
Bent a halo, down tubes, etc etc and gusseted it a bit
The goal was a tight fit to the sheet metal.
I think we got it.
After the final clearancing of the cab it fit up there pretty good.
We could have covered most of it with the factory sunroof headliner.

Alot of stuff got done with no pictures, but here's a pic of it getting closer.
And we had to check some stuff for clearance.
We ended up with an fj40 radiator, spal fan, stock fwd coolant fan sensor, a ton of wiring, a whole mess of tube, parts from Marlin, trail gear, Sky, etc etc.
I slacked off on the picture taking for a bit.... but the latest thing has been a front bumper
and an anti-wrap bar.
Jury is still out on whether this heim will hold up.

Doood!
How long have you been working on that?
I knew it had been a while since I was last over but damn.
Have you been around the block with it a few times?
