That is a buddy of mines, i am storing it for him. But i haven't talked to him since haloween :icon_confused:

But its a 1986 with the 2.9L mitsu 1350 d35 ex8.8

Duff Leaf springs, Duff Coil Buckets, Duff Radius arms, 8" XJ Coils, 35x14.50 15 boggers......its not finished yet. Still needs shocks and steering work. But the motor and trans are about shot.



Nice I like, well if you get sick of storing it you can always send it my way. I'm looking for a truck big enough to take my dogs to the snow,

Yeah i didn't get around to making my driveshaft last nite, so i'll be doing that today at work when i have down time. But i did repack my front bearings, but their toast, so i'll run them for now and replace them in a week or so. But my damn LF hub is racheting so i think i may put the drive slugs in it tonite and buy new hubs shortly. Test Run is tonite, hopefully no issues. Thinking i may get the 35" BFG MTs to run on it tonite. Scheduled for like 4-6"s so the trails should be fun with all the ice under the snow lol.
