Backstory. My '93 was getting pretty beat up and I was getting tired of fixing the TTB suspension every trip I went out. The motor was getting tired and the trans was an A4LD with an electric t-case.
I scored a great deal on a '97 2wd for $300. No rust, one small dent in the cab roof, a 4.0L (with cracked heads) and a great frame. I also picked up a 4R55E out of an explorer for free which I will rebuild. I already have a 1354M I rebuilt a couple months ago ready to go in.
Plans are:
Remove front and rear of frame and replace with 2x6 tubing 3/16" thick and box the rest of the frame in.
Custom motor mounts.
Profender coil overs up front, leaf spring rear
Flat bed ( I know, I know )
2161A RCI fuel cell
The cab is sitting on 4x4's for the mean time
8 bolt crank
