I use napa for my personal stuff cause they always have the most knowledgeable people. I also order from them at work because their delivery drivers are hot and o'reilly's driver looks like the penguin from batman and creeps me out. Her name's Penny, know her coleman?
ya I just hate dealing with dumb people, back home I orileys was my choice.Quote:

sorry no pics and i think she might notice if i started to take pics of her, also i don't want to break the camera either. she comes into my store about once a week and that is to much
pic of shifter. Might have to rerun the cable becaus the brackets it came with has it running from behind the trans, putting it very close to front drive shaft. I will probably do some modification to get it coming in from the front.
Its alive and driving (about 20 yards total). Got alot done today but still alot to do. Got the exhaust off the bronco to work on the truck with a few modifications. All my gas tanks are shot so I went and bought a boat tank. New u joints everywhere. Also test fitted the trailer I got, wich barley fits with little tires.
Still need done:
Fluid check/fill
rear brake line
brake vacume hose
change pinion angle on front (fix goofy shackle)
seat
front bumper
baterybox
toolbox
ang if time permits weld up the rear.
Speaking of which, anybody heard from Jabnasty lately???Quote:

seriously though I re-thought every thing and I am a long way away. I have a ****load to do. I will be tied up with finals till late wednesday so I could probably use alot of help wednessday night if any is available.

I am still having douts about clayton though, mainly due to money/time and trail worthyness.
-Still needs to be done before clayton:
-Retune carb - figure why its not burning all the fuel, might be msd plug wires not tight anymoe
-get better brakes- pedal is very stiff maybe the booster is bad, although I do have a f350 booster in the shop
-hook wiring up for the alternater
-better battery box and battery
-weld the rear-there is no traction due to no wieght in the rear
-make a bumper with radiator protection.
-gas cans

Sounds doable - it can be the last minute rig of the year.

I will be tied up with finals wednesday until about 5, after that I will start wrenching if you want to help.
I can get this thing ready by friday but I'm pretty hard up for money right now and this will end up costing too much. I might just hold up on the truck do the body swap and get something decent ready for the spring.
Went up to CS last weekend and got a little work done. This rig is just about done only lacking a new set of springs for the front and some lincoln lockers and maybe roll bar, seat bolts, hood, bigger gas tank, batery box, tool box, front bumber, fan shroude (sp?) electric fan, powersteering fluid, skid plates, sliders, exhaust that out of the way, safty harness, shocks, and then the rockwells if I find a spare 2 gs. Now on to the B2 build wich will hopefully be done by the end of the semester.
these are pics from my back yard so I know they are weak.
tires?
Kickass exhaust
I got hummer tires just havent felt like swapping yet.Quote:

got the rear welded up today,secured the rear bumper better, got a front bumper, radiator skid plate(light duty), had an argument with my welder, tighten lug nuts.
need some finishing welds, little grinding and a slightly smaller powerstering belt then I should be ready for 47 tomorrow.
Drove around a little today.

could a leaf spring expert tell me the best/cheapest way to get a setup going for the front. Should I just dump the ****ty steering and go for cross over steering? I don't want to spend much more time on this rig as I'm ready to start on another project, and do everything right from the start.
cross over=more than that peice is worth.
maybe old high boy steering?
you still want those hummer tires swapped over?
you need a gas tank. i have one out of a late 80's cherokee that should be good.
me and a can of ether got the tires on.Quote:

a lot of guys use F-350 fronts, me and cook used chevy 52"
x2 on the 52"s
what trucks do they come off of?Quote:

52's are hypothetically better because of pinion drooping issues but I have been running 56's in Pigpen for the last 3 years and havent broken a single front driveshaft u-joint.
I'll take the 56's:gigem:Quote:
