We love to give ideas but give us a direction, how much $$$ yer gonna throw at it.

i was trying to spend as much deemed necessary.
thinking about a 5in suspension lift...

also the rims/tires came off an older bronco with 5.5in, 5 lugs as where mine are 5......
so i need to purchase some lug adapters.

my main concern is just tools lol, im currently living in a fraternity house (no garage) if you couldnt tell by the pictures.

but yeah no rush just doing my research first, you know measure twice and cut once.

also on a side note i live in lafayette louisiana where we are about 10 feet above sea level,
so trail ridin/ rock crawling are not on my list of necessities.
Just looking for a taller than stock truck that wont get stuck in wet grass like my toyota.
so just something i can have a little fun in the mud with you know.

I recommend a set of wheels with impellers welded to them and some sort of rig up that allows you to connect about 4 55 gallon drums to the sides of the truck. Amphibious Ranger, in case of Katrina repeat.

and just a couple of questions like why the spindles look like they do,
like i said ive been doing my research and they don't look the same

maybe Doetsch or higher quality,
idk just need about 5 inches of clearance
