Under the new vin. It will be a 2001 now.


I almost forgot, I picked up 2 good airbags as well. So the inside will be off to a good start.

More teardown this weekend. Had to spend time with the Family and take another test, but still able to get farther.

Everything disconnected and ready to part with its tired and worn out frame.

then I was able to remove the exhaust, pull the cases and trans, and begin removal of the rock sliders. WHICH WILL BE UP FOR SALE.

So after another weekend, here is how D sits as of right now. Pretty sad, but once things start going back together, it's going to be nothing but smiles

any chance youre selling those coilovers....and can I buy them

 

[Josh40601]

Nope. I'll likely revalve them for a better ride, but they are definitely staying.

Will be wire wheeling the whole frame and suspension, moving the rear axle back about an inch, installing the new gas tank, running the 01 wiring harness next weekend. Will use spray on bed liner for the frame, then cover it with high temp satin black to seal the frame up. Now that it's torn down, time to start making everything better

 

[Josh40601]

Engine is out. Going to pressure wash the frame tomorrow and start moving the parts from the 2wd frame over

 

[CHKNFKR]

Looks like more than the engine is out....

 

[Josh40601]

Just a bit. Lol

 

[Josh40601]

Last night I wanted to get the frame cleaned up. I only have about an hour after I get off to work on it, so not much has been accomplished.

I did manage to get the frame down to the body shop where I could pressure wash everything.

I tried moving the frame around with Lil Red. Yeah... That didn't happen. All I did was spin. So after wasting about 20 minutes, I just went and got SGT Ex and winched the frame around.

Team work...
