So to start I got my truck in december 98. I have done alot of mods and have alot more to come but I figured I better go ahead and start a build thread now. I will have alot of pictures on here at some point it will be so adding pics cause I will have to go find some and scan them.
The truck was a bone stock christmas present. It came 4X4 extended cab with a 4.0 manual with auto hubs and electric transfer case. Now the engine has been bored .030 over and has a comp 500 lift 288 duration cam in it along with the heads and intake ported. It has a bbk 66mm throttle body and a K&N cold air intake. The truck now has an explorer rear diff in it. With explorer rear springs and a t-bar crank. The crap PVH have been changed with a set of ridge runner manual hubs. I have removed the 60/40 bench for a set of leather buckets from a explorer and a shorty center console. It has a brush gaurd on the front of it and has had a 01-03 headlight conversion that has just been added this week. I also have changed the mirrors and have a 3 inch cowl hood scoop to go on it. Future plans are a SAS, bigger lift, custom front and rear bumpers, and rhino line the rocker panels.




this is from where I had a piston ring break on me

this is the reason for the explorer diff

My newest wheels

this is from when I got my grill and my helper had to have her picture made with daddys new grill

Seats

The scoop and the front end conversion done

Just a little update I painted my flares black to match the rest of the truck




I also started to lift my hitch I needed to do something to get it up from the body lift and from the wreck where she folded my frame into a v in the back



I need to make some brackets and gusset it and it should be good to go
