Now that I'm for the most part done with the race truck, it's time to start on the wife's build. The Mazda B2600/4D55diesel was so much fun that she decided to do this.

I'll just leave this here for now and go into detail later.

Then I'll be doing the 6.0 hauler, a rcsb 4x4 6.0, and a 6.4 swap into my 99 crew cab. I'm a little swamped with projects right now. LOL

Well basically I got a rclb 4x4 6.4 for free. I don't want a RC. I want a crew cab. I have a 99 crew cab 4x4 that needs an engine and trans. So why not? Doesn't cost me anything and I'll have a unique swap.

I can't take 3 years to do them. I have too many other things to get done. The 6.0 rcsb 4x4 will be done in the next month after we get done with this 550hp obs build that's in the shop. Then the Jeep will probably just be a couple weeks. We're talking about just doing the engine swap for now and then do the frame off restomod later. I'll update this thread as we go though.

The 6.0 hauler is another one that needs done asap. I'm tired of looking at that ambulance. (Anybody want to buy a ambulance box?)

The 6.4 swap though may actually take a while. It's last on the list to do and will take the longest.

So things haven't gone quite as planned since I started this. I'm just now getting to the point where I'm getting ready for the build. My project list has changed a little. One thing I decided to do different on the jeep is the axles. We're doing a 78 bronco 7.3 swap using 08 frame and axles so I'm going to put the axles from the bronco into the jeep. It'll be pretty cool having stronger and wider axles.
