had some free time yesertday so went to the junkyard and got this... not sure if im going to put it on the truck like this, and i know the lines are bad, it was just an experiment.

looking for the 2004 and newer hood to go with this as well, just dont want to pay 100 for it online and 75 for shipping

NICE! i love lime green and black. it just works. thats a really nice truck

 

[brinker88]

Thanks. It was just too big for what I do (mainly trails) so I sold it for less than $1500 =(

no real updates for this weekend, i bought bolts to flip my shackles in the back but ran into family stuff so i never got the time to do it

i did get a good pic of the HID's with the black housings

 

[brinker88]

Got a pic of the truck w/ the grill installed?

 

[DFracing]

thanks, im stoked on it. i cant wait. i want to lift it and do some 33's looking at different types of lifts too. id like a midtravel kit but a camburg 5.5 kit is 1800 dollars not installed, so ill see what rout i take, might fab some upper arms myself when i get a welder

Updates!

still waiting on parts from camburg that i ordered 6 weeks ago

So i finally got everything together, bought a new transmission to replace my old worn out 5r55e, and a big cbr cooler witha 12" electric fan to keeo it cool. i bought new moog ball balljoints for the front end to go with the camburg kit, along with new timken bearings. i pulled the motor out to do the timing chains as well, and this is where it sits as of now

you can see the new tranny sitting on the ground in the back

once i got the motor out of the truck found this at the bottom of the oil pan

also found out the motor had a few bent valves from the bad timing chains

repair i made to my camburg upper arm

So i Got the motor into the truck finally, pretty much went back together, and into the truck without a problem. my problem is my tranny, and torque converter. spent most of the day sunday trying to get the transmission into the truck. i thought i had the torque converter seated all the way into the transmission, but upon measuring it, it sticks about 1/2 inch farther our than the old TC. spent about 2 hor hours trying to get the damn thing to seat with no luck, i honestly dont think the pump gear is bad, i just think that its not lining up right. any one have any trucks? anyways a few pics..

SPOTTED! the rare lazy-saurus rex!
