Finally had a little time to update this thread.

just getting my new garage setup still and starting to tear down the front end and get the engine/trans out for a rebuild or replace..not sure yet. Planning on getting the cab cage and front half done as well and tie it all together.

I would love to have a garage that size. Not enough space in a two car with two cars in it.

Same here. Lol. I'm über jealous since my 1 car garage holds the ranger but I have to park at the side of it for clearance. If I need passenger side work I have to park close on the driver side and hop over my console to the passenger door.

House looks beautiful Andy, at least from the outside. You think your neighbors are gonna be upset by the noise from those 2 toys?

Started a little tear down after work today. Got rid of BS like the fender structure and core support. I will be building it all back with tube. Engine is dry and harness is apart so it's ready to be pulled out as soon as I get some chains.

I think my blower motor has seen a few tire slaps


This takes me back to the bodylift days..that sweet combo to get at the front body bolts holding the core support on.


light harness, radiator, tranny cooler and Core support off


drilled out the spot welds..just in case I need to use it again..or for someone else that needs one.


pretty much ready to remove.




30* may not seem very warm...but it feels great knowing it's -10* outside. Glad I got it fully insulated even though I don't have a heater yet. Big work light keeps me warm enough :)

I know that feeling, not that cold here but still since our heater broke (fixed it today actually) if I can get the garage 20 degrees above outside temp I am happy.
