After months of trying to turn this hunk of metal that I bought from tracy it's finally starting to come together.

Whats been done so far:
Axles Gears and locker removed from old truck.
Siezed tranny removed replaced with 87 W56 tranny.
BudBuilt Crossmember installed.
Marlin Crawler Installed.
Bed Removed
All interior removed replaced with SR5 seats and getting rhino lined.
Crossover steering installed, Much thanks to Rock Logic
Ford shock towers and long travel shocks installed in the front. More thanks to Rock Logic
Rear driveline transformed from bent hunk of metal to usable driveline.
4 inch alcans (very soft I might add) and rubicon shackles installed
35 MTR's waiting to go on (don't want them stolen)

More to come..... A lot of these are not show in these pics but the page will be updated soon I finally d/l my pics so I have room for more. I will take pics of Rock Logics handy work.

Von and Carl mounted the IFS box for me.

I'm curious as to how you saw it at rocklogic in stock form because when it was at rocklogic it already had the lift the tranny the crawler and numerous other things done to it.

Hey Skye, I can explain the mounting for the Toyota IFS box. It may be seen as overkill, but we feel this is the proper way of doing it. You plate both sides of the frame with 1/4" steel (3/16" would be fine as well). All three bolts on the box will pass through the plates. Two of which will go through the frame, but one will be above the frame (with a heavy wall sleeve placed between the plates). Also, for the lower 2 bolts, we sleeve the frame before welding the plates in place. After wleding the plates to the frame and welding the sleeve in for the upper bolt hole, you're done.

I won't kid ya though. It's definitely not as easy as one would think... :(
