Damn.... Do I gotta do that now too? lol
 
Got that right


Motor is in its home, tranny is in. Next is to make a crossmember then mount the t case.

I gutted the core support for radiator clearance, should have lots of room. Just need to figure out what radiator I am gonna use.

It looks happy in there.
 
Been a while since I poked my head in here. Looks like its coming along nicely.
 
Just for fun, here is a video someone found of me from when I started 'testing' the truck.

I feel bad for my abused truck:icon_twisted:
 
....I feel bad for my abused truck:icon_twisted:

I go back and forth from amazement in that truck holding together, and slight anger than my crap can't even make through what I'd consider an 'easy' trail ride.

That fawker better see lots of air time with that hot little motor in there now :headbang::thefinger:
 
Haha, I know it. I waited for it to break everytime I went out, and it didn't, so I pushed it harder and harder. Now that I have a big motor and tons, I bet I will break shit everytime I go out lol
 
Made some progress today, fabbed a new crossmemeber. INstead of using a tranny mount I used a couple bushings at the frame. I had some shock tabs laying around and so tube so I got building. Heres the crossmember

Then after that I finished all my welding on the front axle, moved my bump stops so they do something, started building anti wrap bar, put my 35 spline spicer shafts on with new U joints and tacked the caps, then I put the knuckles on......wont be long till it is a roller.

Next I am gonna finish the radiator, maybe work on exhaust, then maybe some drive shafts and steering. Debating if I am gonna rework my rear frame now and add my fuel cell or wait and do it when I feel like it.

I am ready to go wheel, tired of building already lol
