Your rig is IFS isn't RUDRTY.
If you are staring from scratch, the set up on GC's truck (photo that Suprasurf posted) is damn hard to beat. And leafs are damn easy, and quick.
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!

would probably be cheaper to keep your good bits and buy a slightly older hilux with solid front to work from. though i do inderstand not wanting to part after doing all the work you have done.
