Engine crossmember/track bar mount support

Shortened the driveshaft, still have to true it up and weld it.

Power steering is hooked up and works!

Finished brake lines for front and rear, e brake cables are hooked up, shock mounts on rear axle are welded on, front driveshaft is welded, getting pretty close to driveable

Drove it for the first time today! Needs lots of little things here and there finished, but it drives nice and cruises nicely at hwy speeds too.

Thanks, got a couple things to finish before it's ready for the trail, but when it's ready I plan to take it to calabogie

Tried to see what it can do on some stuff near my place, but I can't find anything big enough lol, it didn't even phase the truck. it's also only rear wheel drive right now too

I've been trying to figure out a vibration I've been having, ive messed with the pinion angle and still couldn't get rid of it, turns out the used transfer case I put in has a bad rear output shaft bearing.
So I put the old t case back in, I found and adaptor that with convert the front flange to work with a double cardon shaft. So il order on of those

I redid the exhaust and went with a black tip

A few more poser shots in my ditch, don't mind the box, it only has two bolts in it

 

[02Fx4red]

Got the bumpers back from getting powdercoated

Still no flange for the tcase so I only have 2wd, I went out anyways

Front driveshaft is in

Did over 1000km and it's all working flawlessly so far, fuel mileage isn't too bad either, not that I care that much lol.

Gotta change the rear diff fluid this week, then next week im taking it on a 1200km road trip.

It makes a decent welding rig too

One of these days I gotta go wheeling

 

[02Fx4red]

Been driving the truck a lot lately, havnt had time to go wheeling yet, I'm really itching to get out.
Did an 1100km road trip last weekend and the truck worked flawlessly, it sure gets attention, people don't expect a rig like that to be passing them in the fast lane on the hwy lol.

 

[02Fx4red]

So much for that driveshaft lol

Still made it out in front wheel drive, the front true trac works a lot better than I expected, you'd almost think it was a locker

Climbed a jeep in fwd
