Looks good. :thumbsup:
 






thanks bro.....tomorrow im going to start fitting the new snug fit soft top, made from arctic vinyl with snap rivets
 






Ahh, doin' the Turdle thang?? Hope you're a bit faster getting it done though. :p:

Get pictures up soon. :D
 






im a vinyl top king lol.....its easy if you have a plan....and i do......next work is a dana 30 from a cherokee (xj) with a leaf spring front end
 






Why a d30? Its not a strong front axle, the D35 is still better.
 






d30 is stronger than a ttb 35....the ttb is weak side to side where the axle pivots.....leafs will make me happy with a dana 30....plus a dana 30 front on a jeep is stronger than the 35 in the rear its a good candidate without having to use full with axles
 






Give ya' that. I guess the d30 is the easiest way to get into the SAS arena, without going full blown.
 






yeah i dont need a 4x4 with the worlds strongest axles lol.......im a good driver lol jk
i just need a solid rig that will handle 33's i hate rocks so im running leafs front and rear im not bothered by ride quality.....ill addmitt its yes cheaper and easier for me to do leafs....but its just for having some weekend fun.....
 






Well, I am going to stick with the D35 in mine. I have no plans for a SAS. I had enough trouble converting the truck. Why take it all out again? :D However, I do want to max out the suspension on the front end, kind of a mix between a pre-runner and a mild off-roader. I am not really into big wheels or tires, but I like horsepower and I love torque. A mild 2" body lift is a future want.
 






if u want the pre runner type look run the f150 coil seats....make sure they are the ones with the downward pointy tab on the bottom off the side its a good true 1.5-2 inches
 






Hmm, might just do that. I am also getting some 32's later this year. Should be a nice addition.
 






im running 33s now...they work good........i need some good pictures of peoples rigs who have done a SOA so i know what kind of box i need to do for the frame!!!

THANKS ALL
 






looks good
 






Sweet ride Fatty---

Can you please post more picks of the current topper/cab in the back I am really interested. :)
 






Really Dig it! Without the top...
 






thats a sweet ride. nice work.
 






So um where in the World did ya find a Camper Shell to fit that ??
 






lol very good question haha.....its exactly 5 feet by 5 feet when you chop a 2 door off.........4 door nissan frontier pickup...a little very small trimming on the back of the truck cab and it will fit perfect
