Re: What direction should I go
I'm digging the spot lights, I'm trying to find some to hang on my Burb. Anyways, I would get it running and reliable while a 2WD and then decide if slinging a front axle under it is worth your while. Due to the rarity of 4WD Burbs of this era I would look into an axle swap on you existing frame. DIY4x and Off Road Direct offer brackets that replace the core support mounts and use 52" long rear springs. I've heard of some success using them to convert 2WDs, and results in a softer, flexier suspension.

Re: What direction should I go
Welcome and congrats on the burb! Like the others said, get it running, rule out anything major (mechanical wise), clean it up and see what you have to work with. Looks like you've got something decent to start with and have some fun!
