Nice build! I would get rid of those metal bracket drop shackles and get some of those Auto Zone drop shackles for 30.00. they are more stiff and reliable when your flexing.

It stayed running when it hit the water so i got out and hooked the winch up with it still running then the winch died and hooked the come along up and it was still running then it started to want to die. Shut off about twice and I got it started back up both times but the last time it died and wouldnt start back up. I dont think it was geting gas from the tank cause it was at such an angle. Once we got it out when it was level and out of the water it fired right up. It never sucked any water or anything like the. Filter was bone dry.

Got all the interior ripped out today and pulled the carpet out and sprayed it all out. Clean as a whistle now. Just running no carpet right now until I get some roll on bedliner to put down so next time I can just pull the seats out and rinse it out again. Im sure this will not be the last time. lol

Check the codes for the check engine light and got a 41 which is HEGO sensor circuit indicates system lean (right side).

I figured it was the oxygen sensor before I even checked it cause it sat under water and mud for a hour or 2. Going to change it out tomorrow.

Changed out the o2 sensor today and cleared the check engine light. Changed the fluid in the trans and transfer case cause there was water in both. Also got the lights changed out on the roof rack with the new Hella's I got.

I believe the water in the transfer case came from last time I sank it cause I didnt have the breather hose extended last time and I tihnk the water in the trans is coming through the shifter and the 3 plugs in the back. I have heard the 3 plugs are also act as the vent for the trans.

So what I am going to do is take the rubber plugs out and put in freeze plugs and change the caskets and o-ring things on the shifter and the drill and tap for a fitting in the top and run a vent line with the other ones to extend it so hopefully it will not get anymore water in it.

Hella's mounted.

No carpet.

 

[theggyster]

man i took out my carpet and it was the loudest thing. having some sort of carpet makes a huge difference.

Get some of that sound deadening mat. It's pretty cheap at Jc Whittney.

 

[Foxracin]

I didnt really notice a sound difference when I pulled it out. I can feel a little more heat but nothing unbearable. Maybe the bedliner will help that.

Havent really done a whole lot to it lately. Put a new set of brake shoes on the rear earlier today and back up on a big log just for the hell of it and got a few pics. Still wasnt at full flex yet.

Well ordered a snorkel hat/top/ram/whatever you want to call it off ebay last night. Should be here in a week or 2 so a guess a snorkel is next on the list. Was going to go to Lowes today and get the pvc for it but decided to just wait until the hat gets here.

So instead I picked up a Herculiner kit and put it down on the floor today.

Put a medium coat all over first then a nice thick coat then another thick coat in the areas where people feet will be. Still have about 1/4 of the gallon left and its coated real thick all over. Should hold up pretty good I think.

Its still drying right now so whenever it sets up enough to put the seats and everything back in I will get some complete pics. These pics were after the first coat.

Prepped and cleaned the best I could get it. Its hard to get it clean with the sound deadner crap down.

Just got done putting all the interior pieces back in. The pictures dont do it justice. It was getting dark and the pics are with my phone and the flash makes it look a lot more glossier then it really is. Ill try to get some better pics in the day light tomorrow. I think it turned out pretty good. Time will tell.
