 So I started this one about a month ago and just now got pics to post. I'm doing a custom 4x4 conversion with a solid able swap. 

Custom parts so far. 

Front tube bumper,  custom transfer case,  front leaf springs,  transfer case bracket and lift shackles.

Still to come

Rear leafs, rear bumper, drive shafts, and probably much more. 2015-10-12_19.21.01.thumb.jpg.46218320c32015-10-12_19.20.27.thumb.jpg.9dc78117b12015-10-12_19.19.44.thumb.jpg.0f750255642015-10-12_19.19.07.thumb.jpg.219c9ea2d2

I boxed in the rear spring hangers to beef them up and allow the springs to hang lower then stock and in line with the front shackles, I still need to clean them up a bit. 2015-10-12_19.53.24.thumb.jpg.96ddf14448To acomadate the front drive shaft and for wheel drive I created the transfer case by stacking and shaping sheet styrene, I also modified a donner part for the rear. 2015-10-12_19.53.58.thumb.jpg.ac058e57a8Evergreen rod were used to create the front bumper.
