So i bought a Gas tank today along with Straps and the filler hose and the attachment part for the body/gas cap. Got them from the u-pull-it yard. $36 also got the fuel pump and sender with it. The tank had a slit in it from where they punctured it to drain it. I filled the tank with water and welded the slit over. Rolled the tank on the end with the slit and let it sit for an hour. NO LEAKS.........so the fuel system is ready to go. Now i just need a carrier and 4.88R gears and she should be just about ready. I got a few side jobs going this week so i think i may be ready to order the gears and install kit Fri.............................

and i'll have a carrier next week to go with it

What size tires are those, and do you have a close up pic of the track bar mount? Looks real good, I have a '77 44 waiting to go in my bronco soon.

Is that the new, "extra-crystal-clear" Clear Gearz diff cover? lol

 

[CheapThrillB2]

yeah that would be lack of gears lol...........

tires are 15x10 with 36x13.50 iroks

the trac bar mount isn't done yet still working on it

I def need softer coils

 

[badblue]

[94STXRanger]

Thats beautiful man. I agreed with the name popeye if you havent got one yet. That last pictures just defines the one-eyed muscle man.

nice rear flex butare the frount the TTB coils ?

yes until i get $$$ i'll have to deal with it

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i got my 4.88R gears and install kit today, just waiting on my carrier and they will be installed, and i'll have 4WHEEL DRIVE

 

[fordwheelinman]

I still think it should be called popeye

 

[CheapThrillB2]

installed my gears and welded the spiders, also i purchased some 5.5" Superflex EB coils from broncograveyard.com


Okay got my springs installed, their not broke in yet, but they are softer then my SJ's but not as soft as i would like. Maybe they'll get softer as they break in.

Got my front headlights and parking lights wired up. Also got my Winch hooked up and i'll have to make due with the shorter winch cable for now. Still need to make a few more braces to the frame/bumper to strengthen it. I still need to mount one shock in the rear and make a rear bumper. But its damn close.

I may have a hub going though, the LF is extremely hard to switch from free to lock and back to free

And my Radiator has a pin hole leak somehwere on the pass tank about half way up, so thats another thorn in my side i gotta fix
