Its the new beater. And it has already been de-sticker bombed.

Pretty sure if it comes down to Katie not needing this for work anymore, there may be a V8 swap going on. Been wanting to do one for some time now.

Got the shifter linkage all fabbed up today. Would have been easier if I would have ditched the stock linkage to begin with instead of trying to finagle it to work. Spent more time fighting that than I did making it all from scratch.

And Jon is supposed to be dropping off my other tire tonight so I can get those mounted this week.

Getting close to a trial run.

Think you will have it done by this weekend?

No I work the next 2 days so no time to mount them. Plus I think I am going to pick up some OT Sat.

 

[disciplerocks]

Looks like I'm getting them mounted Monday.

Still need to weld rear shock mounts, install doubler skid plate, and figure out some wiring. When I hit the brakes, the front marker lights come on as well. I got something crossed somewhere.

Really need to order a hardened cross pin for the rear and get new axle seals for the front. But not on the priority list right now.

 

[disciplerocks]

Skid plate on. Welded one shock mount but ran out of wire. And I went ahead and mounted 3 out of 5 tires.

 

[disciplerocks]

Well the other 2 were cracking too bad so I didnt get them put on. Need to find a couple more I guess.

Had an issue with the rear driveshaft on the way home today. Removed it and put it in 4wd just to get home. But the t-case kept popping out of 4hi and into neutral. Going to have to look into that. As well as tires.

It never ends.

 

[dangerranger83]

Got pics of the problems?

I feel you on stuff being never ending, my 302 swap is a one thing after another thing.

 

[RangerSVT]

Damn D, it almost be better to sell that one and start from scratch...
