$$ only reason why I hadn't. All my steering components were from previous vehicles so I had no $$ to get it going but will eventually go full hydro.

[CheapThrillB2]

Didn't get as much done as I wanted, I had to spend the first few hours of my day chasing a ground in my dash is my wipers would work again

IDK I am not diggin the front of the cage, maybe it will grow on me. Its the way its gonna be till after the end of april atleast. Still more to do yet.

Should've just done an internal cage and beat the fawk out of it.

 

[Tony Raine]

....beat the fawk out of it.

i think this is inevitable regardless of cage design

 

[Bray D]

haha true. I guess that comment was more geared towards the future condition of the body.

Should be attainable since this thread was started just over 2 weeks ago. You've come a long ways in two weeks man.

I'm headed to the shop to reseal my front diff cover, and I'm ready to roll

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I currently have no knuckles on the front and the new p/s pump is installed but I need to get a shorter belt now. It'll be tight the next couple days since today won't be productive due to being easter and family obligations. And have to work 10 hours days the rest of the week till the day we leave.

[doorgunner]

Hang in there....you'll still get it done in record time.....even with the overtime....

 

[CheapThrillB2]

Haven't ran the truck yet to find out how the cooling system is gonna work for me.

Knuckles are back on and so are my tires. Still need to get the trans cooler installed.

Got some done tonight

The bolts holding the ujoint to the 14 bolt are so chewed up I cannot get two of them off to install my pinion guard. gonna bring my air hammer home and chisel bit to see if I can start to turn them out since beating a socket over them isn't working.
