I just bought a new daily driver so my 94 Supercab is finally getting a lift. I ordered the 6" skyjacker for it and dammit its backordered:annoyed: Its going to be a nice pavement pounder that I could daily drive and wheel the piss out of it.

I also have a 91 Regular cab shitbox beater. Tired 2.9, f150 springs, 1" body lift, 4.56 gears, welded rear and 35" Mud Kings. dented, beat, and rotted. the whole driverside floor is gone. Thank god for AG plates, linient inspections:headbang:

The orginal plan was to steal the 4.56 axles from my 91 and scrap the shitbox 91. Couldnt bring myself to do it so I'm getting a Dana 44 rear axle from a Scout with 4.88s and a spool, and i just bought 4.88 D35 gears.

The plan is to lift the 94 and put the 4.56s in, run the decent 35" mudkings for now. toss the dana 44 in the 91 and get d44 ttb knuckles so i have matching bolt patterns.

I have pictures but photobucket is owning me right now wtf

I forgot about this thread haha oops
I got the axle in the beater and I'm still waiting for my damn d35 gears:annoyed: I picked up a set of grooved 39.5 tsls for $350 so I cut some more and made them fit
The blue trucks lifted and running good, I broke the fitting on the caliper for the extended brake lines though. That was a shitty ride home

Oh yeah the 91s definitely a mud slut, she loves it in every hole and goes deep every time haha. I just got the gears for the front so hopefully it will be 4wd again soon. Let's just see how the Dana 35 like 40s. Theyre like quarter tread and grooved so I'm hoping it will be like half tread 38s haha. I know where there's a set of 3/4 ton axles set up for radius arms with 4.56s for cheap money if I blow this stuff up
Last weekend I broke an extended brakeline on the blue truck. The fitting on the caliper broke right at the threads. Hopefully I can get that figured out and fixed this weekend
