Its not really worthy of being named something like "PROJECT BEAST!"... I'd say 80% of guys with LST's have hundreds, even thousands into them[sm=redface.gif]

RE: Project "Beast"
The engine brace is the first thing that will probably break. I replaced the crap stocker with one by Dynamite. I constantly broke suspension arms, so I upgraded to RPM arms with Lunsford links. Same thing with the front knuckles and hubs, I replaced them with aluminum New Era pieces. The B.A.C. steering link is a must have item in my book. I stripped a rear diff cup pretty quick, so I upgraded to Nova aluminum cups. The Forward Only Conversion(FOC) is a nice modification as it removes alot of weight and complication from the chassis.... of course you also lose reverse and low-range, so it's not for everyone. There are tons of good upgrades for the truck if money is no object. It's quite the object for me, so I'm mostly just upgrading as things break.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot my most important mod so far... my perty blue RPM gear cover that matches the suspension arms
