gotta work that muscle out a little more!

I've got a 1/2 rack, and a Defender stock spare mount that sandwiches the support bars of the rack to hold the spare. Should be fun to align those studs!

I'm having a ladder fabbed up from the rack to the bumper to help in the spare tire on/off process!

Only other thing is my front Detroit trutrac which I am having rebuilt so it is not currently on the truck.

I assume you put a locker in the rear?
What shape is the inside?
Let see some pics under that baby if you get a chance.

The snorkle has been cut out from the backside. A bolt with a knob goes through the side of the snorkle and threads into a nut welded to the backside of the hood. A flex pipe goes through the snorkle to the top. To open the hood you just turn the knob and remove the bolt. Pretty easy. Looks better IMO than a home made pvc snorkle and is just as functional.

Stock rear diff for now. I may do another trutrac but no Locker in the rear yet untill I go to heavy duty axles. The 24 spline was a step up from the 10 but still not strong enough for a locker. As far as the inside goes, its in good shape. Winchester grey, removed carpet with black bedliner painted floors.

Only underside pic I currently have this one looking at my rear driveshaft. Nothing to special going on.

Ahhh ok so the feeder tube goes through the section by the windshield as other snorkels would and the front leader part of the plastic body is not used.

Gotcha about the knob. Now that you described it, I think I can make it out in the pics. Interesting work around.

what do you want to do with it?

[butthead]

remove plastic bumpers, replace with metal winch bumpers, add winch, maybe add about 2" lift, metal jackable side steps, offset wheels with MT tyres, spotlights, lights bar on roof, protection plates for axle, tank, steering....

at the moment already having about 2" lift as I'm using King Springs and Koni shocks....but total will have 4" after mod....but afraid that I will lose stability due to high CG while driving on the road......

[Choqiees]

maintain that look, and use it to cruise around town.

[butthead]

I thought of that too.....no point spending extra to change what is nice already......maybe I should do any modification on a rundown unit than a perfect one.....thanks...
