This is more or less going to show my build from the beginning to its current stage. It's a little long so please be patient and enjoy. I'm going to start with mostly pics and edit the post with more details over time. So here I go...
The first pics I got of it are after I stripped and primed it...
Home with new paint...
A little stock flexing...
fabbing up the new bumpers...
Pulled out the 2.9...
...and put in the 4.0...
I put on a poor man's 2" lift and the angle proved to be a little too much for the stock driveshaft...
So I made a new one from a Wagonneer front shaft...
Got tired of a wet intake so I looked through the tech library for snorkel ideas and came up with this...3" pvc, dryer vent hose, 4" pvc cap and a lot of RTV...
...also fabbed up a roof rack while I was at it...
Here is how it currently sits. I finally got a 4" RC lift installed and picked up a set of 33"x12.50 T-birds for $100 (total for 7 of them). In the very near future, I intend to weld the front and rear, add a 3" body, trim the fenders, and possibly chop the top and add roll cage and soft top.
Here is a recent pic with a little action...
