looks nice , is it going back to red eventually ?
 
Looking good so far! Out of interest, whats witth those coilover shocks? Do they ride much better then just leaf springs and normal shocks?
 
No on the red I really hate that coler on cars and the old coilover shocks where actually sears speicials that the preivous owner must have put on. I will be putting on skyjackers as soon as I get some measurments

Do a search. Many pics of tubs lined with whatever. His doesn't look like rhino lining. Really thin layer if it is.
 
looks good man... keep posting up pics!!!!!!!!!!!! what you doing for engine? susp? how about color? please tell me you are not putting that front bumper on again :flipoff2:
 
lOOKING GREAT.......I NOTICED THE SHACKLE REVERSAL IS ON....
WHO DID YOU GO WITH? MAN A FRE? DID YOU FLIP THE SPRINGS? DO YOU THINK YOU WILL NEED A LONGER FRONT DRIVE SHAFT? JUST CURIOUS....IM IN THE MARKET FOR A SR AND 4'INCH SKYJACKER, JUST WANTED TO SEE OTHER PEOPLES THOUGHTS.MAKE SURE YOU GET THE 2 1/2 FRONT LEAF AND 4 INCH THE REAR,I WAS TOLD THAT THE SR INCREASES LIFT BY 1 1/2 .:cheers::cheers::cheers:
 
Looks good. Not sure if anyone told you but that pit will be bottomless.....
 
Nice build. Do NOT keep the receipts.
 
sorry guys on taking so long on the questions i dont like typing so I get lazy. I did go with the man a fre shackle reversal. I also put on the ford f250 shock towers. The 4" skyjacker lift in the rear and 2.5 in front. The girlfriend started bithcing about not having a place to park her preicius land rover so I started working on the tub. On that I sandblasted it and painted the outsides white. i then put truckbed liner inside, underneath and on the firewall. I just dont wont the thing to rust out on me. Up here in minneasota the really love the road salt in the winters. Why I went with with is my buddy just bought one of the trail team addition fj I liked the looks so much I decied to try and make one myself.
