The real question is: what patches are going on the headliner?

Gear change time. 5.29s for the rear.
This is the second time I've been into a toyota differential... and I just wish Dana would take note on a few things, especially the nice bolt capture tabs on the ring gear. Such a simple low cost thing to add.
Getting into the rear end and figuring out the shock situation... I've decided to outboard the rear shocks. I've ordered some FOX 12" travel remote res shocks, hopefully they will be here this week. I think eventually I will do something different with the leaf pack, but for now it will remain, since it's an easier thing to modify in the future.

Thanks Colton!
Forgot to update - I finished up the 5.29s last week.
Milestone!
It drives on it's own. Bled the brakes and decided to pull it out and turn it around to have easier access to the rear for getting the shock mounts made and the rear bumper created.
I wish I could have taken it for a spin but with a few things still needing attention I figured some poser shots would suffice.
Back into the shop:
I also found out that the power steering hose adapter for the steering box is leaking at the pump. Pretty sure it's tight, I'll have to investigate it.
Still waiting on back ordered shocks too.

Thanks Marc! It badly needs a bath, that's for sure.

How would a proportionally similar F350 look
??? (Gooseneck hitch would be tough with something like that)

LOVE that truck!
Started on the rear bumper.
I decided to make use of the factory mount as it's pretty good already, but I will end up bracing it quite a bit back into the frame in order to carry a full spare on this bumper
Cut and trimmed the brackets to fit tube:
Bent up a lower bumper piece:
I sleeved the passenger side of the lower tube to bear more weight and leverage from a carrier. Set in place and wrapped the leftover from the bracket around.
More to come soon.

Thanks! Yes but I don’t have the right sq tube for it yet. Probably add it at a much later date

looks great! are you going to tie the upper tube into the mount?
Yes, in fact is is tied in. There's a third spreader hidden behind there that it's tied back into which spreads across to both frame rails.
We should have a get-together for the SAS rigs.
What do you call the initiation ritual?
