Well I think it was finally time to start a build tread over here on JF.
I started with this pile of heep.
It was pretty much stripped down, had a bent frame. I bought it for the tub and title.
And my plans for this build are the following
Drive Train
-3.9 Cummins 4bt Turbo Diesel
-Atlas II (3.0)
-1979 Ford HP D60 (ARB, Factory Ten Chromoly's, 4.56, Artec Trust, Ried Racing Knuckles)
-1985 14b (ARB, 4.56, shaved to 13b, Artec Trust)
-40" Goodyear MTR Old School (1st set)
-ORI Struts (14")
Armor
-TnT hi-line zeros
-Custom made boat sides
-Custom made phantom hi-line front fenders.
Interior
-Custom Roll cage w/ integrated dash
-Corbeau Baja Ultra SS seats
-Custom Tool box in the rear
-Fuel cell behind the seats.
Specs
-105-106" Wheelbase
-5" rear stretch
-7"ish front stretch
-22" at skid plate
-5.5" up travel
-8.5" down travel
-Not sure the total amount of lift over stock, but should be around 4-5"
I have collected most of the parts for the build, and over my college winter break I got started on the build

Build starts here
For the 14b I went and got UCF 13b shaved cover.
I put the cover on, marked the cut and went at it
Cleaned it up with a flapper wheel, and bolted the stock cover on, so I could see the clearance gained. (1.25")
I knew I was going to need to do a 1" body lift, so instead of doing pucks, I went with Gen Rights body mount lift.
Old
New
Then my friend cut off the back half
I went with the atx back half kit the second go around. I first tried it will using 2x3 tubing coming off the frame, but I was not happy with the angles I got.
I plan on doing something different in the rear, out side of the tub. But for now it looks like this.
Then on the front half of the frame I made some cuts and got rid of the drop down section.
I left the tubes 9" long cause I might have to stretch it a few inch from factory so I can fit a winch up from.
*BEFORE
*AFTER
When I did this I made an L cut, cause I was stepping down from 2.5" to 2", and it worked great.
Well I got to work on pulling the engine.
I chopped up the grill a little, there was no way I was going to pull it out the side door like they say to do.
God was it greasy
Half a gallon of de-greaser and a power washer, cleaned it up pretty good.
