the plan is to make it so that the old clutch pedal will now be my rear brakes and have the right brake pedal be for only the front so that i can lock the rear brakes and be able to front dig on obstacles.

i'll show you post whore...bitch

got the engine and tranny rebuilt, output shaft in on the tranny got my gears in and done on the t-case. got it all matted together and put in the truck. got all the engine and tranny mounts welded up as well as reenforcing the front half of the frame. as well as getting all the fuels and brake lines hooked up for my duel braking.









here is a pic on how my flat belly turned out


and a pic of the fuel cell from under the truck

its been a while since i have posted but i just don't have the time to work on it like i did. so i have decided to take it to these guys http://proffittscruisers.com/ and have them fit it with 60 Front, 14 Bolt rear, (or maybe Rockwells?), 42's, linked, Atlas II, Full-Hydro steering, Air Shox, Air bumps. so i can go play again.....so stay tuned i'll try to take photos of the transformation
