That's neat, your truck came with the little storage box above the A/C controls. Mine just has one of those big plastic covers with the fake louvers molded into it. |

thanks. Thats actually the dash from a Ram with the Royal trim package, which is why it has the fake wood grain. but its not big enough to put anything else in. |

Ross nice truck and you are really making it yours, it is interesting to see the progress did yours come with a front sway bar? My 83 did not, but I found one at the pull a part,, have not put it on yet, but looks to be a straight bolt on. I have also found a rear sway bar,, believe it is an after market piece as its the only one I have seen. regards DT |

Mine didn't come with a swaybar either. Hitting the offramp usually involves bracing my leg against the door panel so I don't get smushed up against the door. |

Yeah mine has a sway bar. It corners fairly good for a big old truck. |

Wow its been a long time since ive updated this thread. No i didnt die, just havent posted in awhile but have done a lot to my truck since i last posted. hmm lets go back a bit. After i got my fans on i realized i needed something better to mount my switches on, so i made a center console. Not the best but i used what i had at the time.   Switches are; Top left: Coil. Top middle: cooling fans. Top right: air compressor for onboard air system. Bottom left: under dash lights to light floor. Bottom middle: 12 volt outlet. Bottom right: aftermarket gauges and heater. Bedlined floor and back wall   led strips in gauge cluster   wheeling in the snow in mt hood, yes wheeling my 2wd, it does amazing in the snow... with 600lbs of snow in the bed and aird down tires    Trying my buddies 32's on and jack the truck up to about where it will be when im done. Yes im lifting my 2wd, its called a prerunner and i like it.  relocated my horns under my new diamond plate box  took the vc off to clean and paint it and replace the gasket. id say that doesnt look too bad for 196k miles  And my brush gaurd with my docked bumper. when i get more tube i will add to the gaurd and make skid plates and ditch the bumper.   Ive been thinking two tone with black and sublime green

Looking good. You need some furry leopard print material to cover that fiberglass console, though. |

Its not fiberglass. The sides are pieces of 2x4 screwed together and the top is plywood all of which I had lying around. |

What's the compressor for? Just incase, or do you have airbags? or something else...? Looking good! |

On board air system. I have air tools in case something happens when im out on trails with friends and for my air horns. Those horns take lots of air to sound. |
