Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Ryan, what brand of rock guard is he using? I like that stuff on the new Toyotas and newer vehicles. I am wanting to find some good stuff to use. Thanks man, and good luck on the project. Trevor

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I believe it is a SMC product, but I'll varify it. It is a finer grade, not real bulky and uggo. Maybe I'll have pics tomorrow for ya.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Well, it's an hour away at the moment. I'll just wait to see it in the morning. Plus it's sleeting right now and is getting pretty slick.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I went and picked it up this morning. now I have to move a few trucks and a couple cars to get a truck out of the shop, to get this one in before the rain comes tomorrow. I forgot to take close up pics of the rock gaurd for you Trevor, but will try to do it tomorrow. Any how, here it is. It turned out ok. When it was in the booth I wasn't real thrilled. We pushed it out side, and I think it looks a lot better than it did in the booth for sure!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Looks awesome! I found this thread earlier today after searching for 2wd to 4wd conversion threads. I am seriously contemplating using the 4x4 suspension/crossmember etc from my 73-80 4x4 parts truck for my 68 Suburban.
