Well I have the front end all mocked up. Hoping to have it in roller state in the next month or so. Then onto the drivetrain install. I would like to be all done by October. Its hotter than shit to work in my garage right now though. 110+ looking to put in an AC unit soon.

Heres a few more pics. Im a little worried about the angle of my coils buckets. They tilt slightly back and make the coils bow a bit towards the front of the truck. Anyone think this is an issue? Heres a few pics.

Looking good! Post up some pics once you get working on this trac bar. Try to get it and the steering as flat and parallel as possible!

Ok so I just put the engine back in my 1990 BII. I'm using the engine and complete harness from the donor 91 explorer. So far everything looks good. anyone know if i will run into any wiring issues here? It looks to be pretty much plug and play so far.
