than the work began first thing to go after the constant baging was the v6 swaped out for a fairly healthy 350 that i got from a crashed fullsize blazer with a matching nv3500 and np 241
shotly after came the thunderbay special 6" rcx kit along with 35" baja claws

shortly after i got the 3" zone body lift

next came some home grown body work and paint job

shortly after geting it on the road a seal went and pumped the pan dry, the last fiew months on that motor wernt easy ones and eventauly it quit on me. it was than swaped with a 305 that i had traded a topper for and a fiew other minor power adders wer slapped on.

since than the only other mods have been a little sterio work 2- 10" phonix gold subs 1200 watt alpine amp and 6 speakers around the cab than an amasing interior upgrade with 40-20-40 buckets and flip up center console out of a 2000's vintage chevy

so this is turning into a build and crash thread... soo heres my latest project / repair
first of all my trans. failed not shure with bearing yet but one of the did so the spare tans is going in so once i had that all apart i decided to inspect the very loud rotational clunk from my rear diff and found 3.5 teeth gone.. i guess that was all the backlash i found when i removed my rear drive shaft so next week my 4.11s go in :)
