wow! you were on this forum for 2 years before buying a TB?! Impressive. I must assume that due to your hard core research, you must've bought a SWB with 4.10 w/o a G80? If you were lucky enough to find one of those in a V8, too... but that's considered a unicorn in these parts.

2 years, and you weren't scared away from the TB platform?
Glad to have you here regardless of your propensity to carry mini tooth brushes with you everywhere you go.

...Well i got a good deal and it only had 96,000, but alas no G80... 3.73 though. This will be a daily driver for me, so not getting too crazy. A little altitude, some 33s, and body armor.

Ive had 2 Scouts, a Bronco, and a Ranger... it will be nice to have a rig with A/C and power windows!
Plus not everyone has lifted TBs, it will be one of a kind in my town.
Thanks for all the love guys. Once all my parts get here ill start posting pics/videos, and throwing around some ideas with you guys.

ANOTHER Mike... Great.
Personally, I was searching for a rear axle without a g80 so it's much easier to drop in an auto locker.
32s or 33s w/ 3.73 is an excellent combo. Especially if you're not going to be loading it down with hundreds of pounds worth of bumpers and gear. You're ready for a relatively easy build, IMHO
