thanks dood! yeah get on that 99!

hopefully get a bunch more done and close to finished next week. going fishing this weekend and work this week had me home at 10-12 at night. so didn't have time this week. I don't have a whole lot left.

to do list:

new sleeve and bolt for leaf bushing.

hook the brake lines back up

get the radiator and trans cooler hooked up.

finish gas line,one adapter I have now,then fill all fluids and start it up.

install fuel gauge,and power to fuel pump.

last..if time plasti-dip the whole body gunmetal gray or blue

 

sweet!!!

 

trying to have it almost all finished up tomorrow. here are a couple pics from saturday when I had it on all 4's again. I have been working till like 10-12 at night the last couple weeks so it pretty much put working during the week on it to an end. So I'm trying to make the most f the holiday weekend.

 

looks like your all set!

 

Got all the wiring and fuel system wrapped up. Just need to put my brake lines together and fill all my fluids.

Started right up,no leaks or faults. love when things work out before a deadline hah

 

i love the fact shes running, and hate how ----ING SWEET THAT THING SOUNDS!

can not wait to go for a rip in the sand with ya.

 

yeah I can't wait myself! Sounds pretty dirty I think,But I hate when things aren't perfect. I can't wait to do motor work on it and really get it rip'n.

edit: I just hope your tall *** fits in it lol! Rob is pretty tall and he fit so to speak so maybe it will be ok.

 

Hell yeah!

 

Nice Job! Week to spare. lol

 

haha you have no idea how good that feels compared to previous years..oh wait I'm sure you do

 

Glad its running! but it sounds like crap lol.

 

Dito


Well done man!! Its come a long way!

 

yeah well..has a knock, pretty much open exhaust and a **** mic on my phone doesnt help. And the first time its been run in like 9 months

It does sound better in person,and probably sounds better at operating temp too.


And..I really don't care cause I know it needs a rebuild

 

haha, yeah been there before. i try not to repeat that though. lol

 

sucks you can't make it out! maybe a late summer run?fall? otherwise see you next year duder!

 

Well I think I'm all ready to go. Just need to wash it and hopefully do my plasti dip tomorrow. As far as I know, I think I have all the little things and mojor things I wanted to get done..done.

Took her for a spin,everything seemed ok enough to bash on some sand. She smokes a bit,but I'm hoping a fresh oil change with some heavier oil helps that a bit



I'm missing the facia trim that goes around the lights and grill so I think I'm going to rock it grilless till I can find one at a junkyard or online.


Got my gauge plate made and installed my fuel gauge there for now. I think I'm going to get rid of my A-pillar pods and put 3 here and the rest on a plate in the stock location.



rear setup done. I'll probably bring the stuff with to cut the rest of the other tire at the campsite. Unless I get a bug up my *** to do it before then.



Hood pins and lanyards..because I always wanted some on something haha..plus I gutted my latch system so I needed them.

 

Ya want me to see if i can find a grill surround off a truck at the local scrap yard for cheap and bring it down?

 

yeah sure! I'll bring my black billet grill with then and toss it on if you do. otherwise if I get to mine today I'll let you know. Also I need all those metal tabs that stick into the header panel to hold it.

 

10-4!

 

Bad ***.

 

Impressive, I can't wait to see this thing

 

well as of last night shes blue and ready for the trailer!

 

here is what she came out looking like. Did pretty good, had to tweak the front end some and will need a re-valve and maybe a heavier coil. It was just a bit too soft and bottomed out a lot. Motor sounded like poop,but I couldnt blow it for the life of me lol..

 

I got a hill climb video of it. I'll get it up sooner or later.

 

hope the sound is off..lol
