Those are neat, didnt realize the MAF was there. I have a 90 degree silicone elbow in hand that fits very nicely in the available space so that ***** plus a 90 degree exhaust elbow will still allow me to put the filter where I originally wanted.

Already have shims in the front, there might be some cut and turning action after Clayton...

I like the bumping the trailer move...

A few months ago I got the crazy idea to convert it to 4x4. I tore all the 2wd suspension off the front and started drilling holes, then got tired of it. I didnt touch it for about 6 months but became interested again during the break, mostly because I need to get it out of the way so I can get project cheapjeep in there. Anyway I decided to go balls to the wall and put the current 56" rear springs in the front, and a set of 63" ones in the rear. I have all the brackets from a 4x4 but some of them didnt fit so I'm having to do a little fab work for everything to go together. I'm gonna throw a 6.2L diesel I have in there for its low end torque and water-proofness :D and put the D60, 14 bolt and tires from the Burban on it. As usual, I'm aiming to spend as little as possible on it and si far I have $20 in bolts invested. Here's pics.

I'd still like to find a wiring diagram for an 8.1 and see what is different in the TAC module. Something so incompatible should not have the same harness connectors

Congrat's man!

You ought to give Jesse a call after Clayton when you swap out the t-case output/yoke to check on the front d60 yoke High Angle makes. I got one from him and it has more ear to yoke clearance than stock. Might not have to cut and turn the knuckles that way.

I will be upgrayedding the front shaft immediately after Clayton. 32 spline Ford output, High Angle flange, kustom square tube shaft with 1350 CV and 1350 pinion yoke on the 60.

Made a new/spare front shaft tonight. Using another stock Chevy CV I ground on **** until I got another ~5 degrees of misalignment out of it. We'll see how well it holds up. I also used 2 1/2" 1/4 wall this time instead of 3/16 wall so it wont wobble around as much, just need to grind a groove into the male portion for the seam. I will also be bringing materials to build one extra shaft (for a total of three, can you tell I'm a bit concerned...) should the need arise.

congrats, post up a vid after a trip to Rusty's.

Even with open exhaust it's quieter than it was. 6.2's suck.

I just got this text message from a 979 number...I think it was Seth.
"So pigpen sounds MEAN"

So I guess the exhaust is finished.

Yup Rusty did a KICK ASS job on it. I dropped it off yesterday at 3 and it was done today at 10, and its as good a job as I could have asked for. I will leave the cutout open until I get there so everyone can revel in the mating call of the 496 BBC. I need to get to work on it but it is ****ing snowing right now which is not helping in the motivation department.

Thanks for having my number programmed Fredo. That hurts.

I've got some other number for you. When did you change it?

Let us see if my prophecy will be fulfilled.

Just ordered shock towers from Varsity, my work discount is prety sick. Need to get rear shocks mounted and steering fixed/ straightened out to be ready for Gilmer :gigem:

Your work discount saved you $6. Not really that epic, but hey you can buy a cheeseburger.

Also, they wrote your credit card number on the receipt. Score! :flipoff2:

$6 was 25% asshole!

Pigpen now has rear shocks for the first time in 3 1/2 years. They made doing burnouts a whole lot smoother.

Schweet, pm it to me and I will see that it get's passed around like sharpe's sweet little ass. :D

damn Ed, getting lonely over there in the sand box? Keep talking about everyone's sweet asses

Why yes I am. Thanks for noticing, sweet cheeks! :D

Looking for ideas for a tube bed. There will be a full-width toolbox right behind the cab (probably the one that is currently in my crewcab). I am trying to decide between tapering it to the frame corners after the toolbox or leaving it full width to keep the rear tires covered. I like the idea of having them covered to keep from flingin **** at mach 2 at the back of the cab when the pedal meets the floor. I am liking the lines on Chris's taco bed with the parallel tubes running to the back but am also looking at other ideas on pirate. If yall have something you think would look "good" on Pigpen, post em up. Tomorow I will try to take some side and rear profile pics so we can make some MS paint doodle drawings of ideas.

I love ms paint doodle drawings!

I thought I had a thread on ideas for my bed but can't find it. If you want to keep pigpen looking like uglytruck's fat ugly sister you could get some ideas from here:

Something like this is what I had in mind.

I like it.

i see flem has taught you well.

i know they are toyotas, but there is a ****load of ideas and pages to go through. figured it would give you something to do at work.

Already seen it and yes the toyota peeps sure seem to have a hard on for tube beds.

is there anything you dont know about on pirate?

The trailer park. No star for me.
