Nice project. What do you have planned

Hard to say really. Just gonna kinda go with the flow on this on and not try to rush it.

It's gonna be more of a dedicated wheeler/hunting rig than my previous though.

sweet. what's it got? i want a rig like that to put a diesel (grease motor) in so i can drive by the gas stations pointing and laughing at the people paying the rediculous prices...and especially the people paying 4.29 for diesel around here!

It's got a new 4.0 crate motor and rebuilt tranny. rough country 3 inch lift and some 31's.

me too!!!! Still waiting for the front axle to be geared. But I can't complain since I am getting it done basically for free. Need to get a larger drill bit and the rear axle should be in tonight. Then I can run the new hard brake lines. Then need to swap driveshafts.

But enough about mine, what are your plans for this thing?

First things are just getting it back to par. Then I'll probably do the standard stuff, long arms, gears, axles, etc.

Yup, just rattle canned it.

Gonna rhino the bottom.

what's rattle canned mean?
 
Spray paint, the can rattles when you shake it.
 
Progress is slow, but sure.
Got the handles sprayed black, part of the grille done.
And ordered some wheels this morning.
