Hi all,
Just picked up this '88 XLT 4x4 extra cab.
2.9L, manual 5 speed
In the future, I would like to build it into a mild prerunner to accompany my '93 Bronco, but for now I'm just going to set it up as a capable hunting/camping/winter rig.
I'm still piecing together the suspension components on my Bronco, so that takes precedence.
Current plans:
-peel off those silly decals and remove running boards
-3" body lift
-new black wheels & 31"'s (may or may not trim fenders)
-winch bumper & winch
-Dana 35 swap
-maybe 8.8 swap
After the swap(s), I will install 4.56's (unless y'all convince me to go 4.88)
-black out trim to match bumper and wheels
-address the [lack of] paint on the roof and rust spot on left bedside
I think that's it for now.
Thanks for looking.
