Test drive this weekend. Motor runs just need to build a driveshaft to the divorced t-case and hook a shifter and transfer the brake master cylinder/power booster from the Van into the 3/4 dubbed "Red".

Got tired of Jeeps so we're going big this time. 60's 460, 205/203 combo, full cage and cut it to 110" wheelbase. and I still have the Taco.

And for those of you who have never seen a rock

Shame you want to go backwards. At least you still have the yota.

Oh yeah. Just an idea, but if you really want to build that set up, I'd definately recommend you ditch the rear 60 for a chev 14 bolt.

A rear 60 against a 460, 4:1, and 42 inch tires is the equivelent of a d35 under a jeep.

Yeah, so far we're out about 300$ for everything pictured including a run motor and there is a complete drum to drum spare axle beside the garage we got for free. Gonna break everything we have and then maybe spend some money.

Well shortened to 121 inch wheelbase (not in picture) 110" was just too short.
Rollin on some 37's for now. (30$ each with 80% or more tread straight off the base)
Going to clock T-case sometime soon

460 will spin 37's off idle. Pretty nice.
