Polish? Wax? Hmm.. what's that? lol :coffeedrink:
Here's the Rot Box. I spent a lot of time exploring UT, ID, WY and MT in this rig and some of my best memories come from that.
I hate to see it sit, but sadly it's not a double cab or I'd still be driving it.
20R- G52 5speed- Marlin 4.7's with twin stick- 5.29/5.38 R&P's- Waggy D44 front axle- IFS rear axle with spacers- F150 rear springs.

My 1980 SR5. Have a set of FJ steelies, new black carpet kit, and front winch bumper to install when I'm not feeling so lazy. The canopy is gone, and will be replaced by a black canvas Softopper.

Nice one Zatara! I hope mine is that nice one day! Just a tad taller with some bigger meats and maybe a set of clean bumpers!
I started ordered parts of my lift the other day. Old Man Emu front springs are on their way right now, but I haven't decided what to do with the next paycheck. Either shocks, shackles, or rear AAL? Maybe shocks because I may wait and keep saving so I can buy the actual rear springs and not just AAL's. They are $169 a piece before shipping which is about $80. So this plus that, carry the one, round to the nearest whole number: $420
Anyway here's some snow pictures from this week:

This is good looking. I am sure with the steelies and softtopper its going to be even better.

Good stuff man! My gf likes to help sometimes, but if its cold outside she won't even consider coming to the shop. Lol. I really need to pull my bed off and clean. I'll probably do it when I put my lift on also.
Edit: It just hit me. Flatbed? In which direction are you making the flat bed? A larger one for hauling etc. or a small offroad looking flat bed? I always wanted something like this:

I'd like to do a more of a usable flatbed as this is my main truck. Still need to haul wood and all that. Just found this site and is exactly the way I pictured it. Just wonder how much these beds cost? But something along this line.
