    No mods for a bit but here's some things I want to do:
    Seats
    Real cup holders
    Remove lift brackets and do cut and turned beams and some other ttb tom foolery
    Deaver coils up front
    Deaver leafs in the rear
    Traction bars
    New shock towers and longer shocks
    Bumpstops
    Build front bumper
    Fix all the electrical issues so everything works

    Adding cup holders is smart, if your gonna do the ttb **** you might as well go drop it of in the scrap yard next to your last 2 rigs/projects

    Is there a real reason besides the "you'll tear it apart and never get it back together" argument? In my eyes, the drop brackets for the lift kit add a ton of leverage and create stress in the frame causing cracking or tearing. When that time comes I would buy cut and turned beams and build radius arms. The other ttb tom foolery would be a d50 center shaft with an offset u joint, maybe an early diff case to get a bolt in passenger shaft, and some plating.

    Glad this thing will get used, don't mess with the ttb until it breaks and you shouldn't need traction bars with deaver leafs.

    Fix the small **** and have fun!

    Also I forgot to tell you that I might have dropped the rear u joint cap in the dirt during installation and lost some needle bearings.

    I think that putting that much money into ttb is stupid, I would much rather you copy what Tum Tum did with a super duty leaf spring axle. Think how much cut and turned arms are going to be, and you would be putting that in an axle that if you put a locker in you will just bust shafts. Don't believe me? Ask Tate, he'll for that matter ask Krebs about his 10 bolt in the blazer with 36's.

    Like Travis said there is nothing wrong with the setup now, keep an eye on the frame and have fun. If your worried about f'ing the frame there, plate the frame.

    Cut and turned beams aren't expensive unless you get them 4 1/2 inches over, plated, uniballs, and chromo shafts

    Also needs a belt and maybe a tensioner. It sounds like tommys bronco on start up.

    Nope. Haven't gotten that far yet.

    One of the back window channel bolts was rusted through so I'm trying to find another one.
