Thanks.

Got the pvc inserts ordered and new orings. They should be here tomorrow. So I got everything painted up. Blue looks good!

Looks like everything will clear. These wheels are almost too heavy.

Yeah, it accelerates about as good as a prius now. Old tires/rims were about 80 lbs each. These are probably double that.

Got a new cover and had to grind a little for the steering.






Fixed the bedside while I had the grinder out. Hopefully a wore out sanding disk will finish it off good.






Starting collecting parts for steering assist. Got a junkyard cooler I'm gonna try to use and about pull the trigger on this, 1.5x8 cylinder. We'll see how it works with the stock pump.

Didn't everyone have to upgrade the stock pump cause it couldn't put out enough. I thought PSC had a beefed up pump that was sufficient.

I saw that and talked with psc about it. I'm just curious to see how good or bad it really is before I send them my stuff.

Thanks.

Drowned the truck at a mud bog a few months ago. I had to replace maf, and plugs to get the engine running right. So it's all good.

But I'm a dumbass and left the tcase in 4 low with the hubs unlocked for the 1 1/2 hr drive home. At about 25-30 mph it is making a horrible almost chain slipping sound. So right now I'm in the process of swapping in a new to me manual 1354. I had to swap the output flanges and still trying to find a socket that will fit in the front output yoke so I can swap it out too. I hope the tcase is the only problem and not the transmission.

Then I've got to tackle the interior. There was probably a foot of water in the cab. So I need to pull the seats and floor. It's a mess.

Hold my beer and watch this.
