I got a wildernest topper last year in august of 2017. And then finally got rid of the other shell on CL. Turns out the old one fit a longbed toyota truck perfect.

I'm jealous of the Wildernest but this:
Now I'm just pissed.

New as of 3-NOV-2017:
I ordered a pair of metric ton leaf springs with ~3" or so of lift. Took a long damm time to come in but they finally arrived last night. I have a set of ruff stuff SUA perches that I will use to mount these up to a KJ 8.25 from my 05 parts CRD. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/...DEAV-WIYP.html The 8.25 I am using has a limited slip and 3.73s which is a good match for the CRD powerband. |

Cool stuff...but your welding does suck. Buy a wire welder.

I prefer the '97+ fronts myself, but I can appreciate this being different.

Like I said back in the day, I wasn't 100% on it untill I saw it in person. I like the 97+ front, but this looks good and its interesting to have something that is still aesthetically pleasing and different.

Rolled the MJ into the garage and started prepping the KJ axle, got the KJ brackets - lower control arm, shock mount, and spring pad cutoff, and I am half done grinding the tube smooth.
Brackets to cutoff: Spring pad cleaned up: Everything cutoff: |
