Just joined and checking in. I've got an 88 standard cab with lots of mods. SAS'd with 85 straight axle with high pinon from a land cruiser, 5.29 gears, Aussie Locker, Dirty 30's, Chromo hub gears and all the other typical goodies. V6 rear diff also with an Aussie Locker. Chevy rear springs and an anti-wrap bar. 35" KM3's. 3.4 swap, R151F trans with gear set from a R150. Dual 23 spline cases, Advance Adapter TX2, 4.7's in rear case, Davez Triple Shifter. TG power steering pump and hydraulic assist. T100 front brakes and dual diaphragm booster. Home built front bumper with old Warn 8274 with Masterpull line. Maybe more I forgot. I call it Frankenstein.
I joined because some of the other forums I'm on are kind of dead and I'm getting ready to build Frankenstein II. I've lurked here for a while and I like it. I bought an 86 Xtra Cab and stripped it to the bare frame and sheet metal. I'm going to swap most of my 88 over to this truck and install a 4WU front three link. I'm also tired of dragging my tail so either bobbing the bed or getting rid of it. Not sure yet. I'm selling whatever I'm not going to use. It helps to fund this project.
I have most of the 3 link parts ordered. I'm getting ready to plate the frame. I'll post up as I go. Probably ask for plenty of advice and opinions. It's going to take a while, lots to do.
