You mention a "radio conversion." Please tell me what that entails.

Thanks!

Basically upgrades the original radio to have Bluetooth, USB capability, etc. Makes it a modern radio while keeping the factory look.

Making some progress.

5.3/4l60 is all bolted in attached to the np205 with the Advance Adapters kit.

I used the Dirty Dingo crossmember. I was hoping I could get away without a lift kit, but the springs are old and likely sagged a bit so I did not have the clearance I need from the front diff, so I went with a 2" Tuff Country lift kit. New springs all the way around.

Slowly knocking things off, I imagine it will be running in the next 4-6 weeks. Then just finishing up all the odds and ends, putting interior back together, and then paint the box.

I also snagged some 15 x 8 four nub steel wheels, so excited to get those cleaned up and painted and throw on. I have a set of dog dish caps to go with them as well.
