So thought it was time I made a build thread over here.
Here is my truck day one when i bought it.

No nothing lol.

Then the madness ensued:
Drop bracket lift


Then paint job and tires:


Then quickly realizing that drop brackets sucked:

Custom widened beams heimed radius arms and camburg coils and bilstein 7100 series shocks.
Front end handled great after a few desert trips and some tuning and then i craved more!
So i got a daily driver:

And drank some beer!


And bought my new parts and went with coilovers and a engine cage.


After much hard work and many hours of fabbing in making a bedcage for the first time thie is what we ended up with.


Then fenders went on it.


And shock mounts were made:


And here is where it stands as of today



The truck has come along way since i bought it in my junior year of high school till today but it is still moving along. We are going out in it one more time before the rear suspension gets redone to keep up with the front. I will try and keep this thread updated as much as possible. If you have read this far good job! Btw all work on this truck has been done in my driveway it has never set foot in a shop not even for the engine work!

Nice truck man

hey,
were did you get ur fender flares? i want some for my 90.
how much was the bed cage? or did you build it yourself.
nice truck.

Also i skipped a lot of little things that have been done to the truck ill also add those as time goes on lol.

Heres a little list of the things ive made and or done to it:
-custom shifter handle
-suspension bucket seats
-five point harnesses
-hids in headlights
-offroad lights and dust lights
-front bumper
-door panels
-expo rear end
-deaver leafs
-and fuel cell

Fiberglass fenders were bought on Dezertrangers
and the bedcage we made from scratch. Materials cost us about 80 bucks including the fender supports we had to make. Also the truck doesn't retain the stock bed anymore even though it looks like it from the side shots the fiberglass is just hung on the cage. We chopped up the bed awhile ago lol.
I believe the fenders are hanneman flat tops so check them out.

cool thanks.
lol jelous of your truck =D

ill take some more pictures of it tomorrow with a real camera not a phone lol.

Great work on the truck. It looks amazing.
