How much you get that for?

Update time.
New rear shocks are going on today.
Going to try and get the old bumper bolts cut off.
Probably going to repack the bearings while I am at it.

Plans for the coming up weeks.
Leveling kit, Rear add a leaf, new front shocks, and might pick up two more 31"s.

Well, time to stop being lazy. I got an update for this truck.

- 4 used 235-75r15 BFG A/Ts and a set of wheels for my f-100 for a set of factory ford Alcoa looking wheels (taken from recycling center).
-Going to be put on the road next week. Need to sign over title and insure it.
-Get it inspected. Hope it will pass.
-Drive to work because my Chevy costs too much in gas and wheel hubs.

I got back from vacation last week and now I am sick. I got a job too.

I got my "new" (I use that word loosely here) BFG AT's on the truck. But now I have run into clutch problems. Again. Going to see if my dealership has a clutch master. I think I messed mine up doing the clutch last year.

Do not press clutch pedal in while clutch line is disconnected from the slave.

Pics in next hour.

Major update. I got cup holders.

Best part was, it was replaced from a traded in car. Too many scratches. I was lucky and noticed it in the can.

More work will be done. Just need to get a few things to start.

Yay for swap meets. The shopping list includes one roof light bar for a ranger or s10 with lights ($5), a open box JVC 810 radio with warranty ($125+tax), a pair of h4 conversion bulbs ($35), a 1st Gen grill ($20), and a set of AR wheels with decent tires ($40).

Pics tomorrow when it is not 2am and dark.

Nice! Sounds like a steal.

Over due for update.
-Got some nice bright Sylvania's installed into the lenses. 2 weeks later, they came out with a brighter set for 10 bucks more....
-Front fogs have Pilot 55w super white bulbs. They match the headlights.
-Interior light was replaced on my friends BII due to the fact he couldn't see shit while entering at night. Used the sylvania blue packaged bulbs. Put the extra in my Ranger.
-Replaced tail light that had no more screw left to remove. Replaced reverse light bulb with brighter Sylvania bulbs. No excuse you did not see my truck now.
-The parts truck I bought from Adsm has been stripped out a little more. Once I get some shit out of my garage, it is going in there for final cleaning. After that, there won't be many updates until this truck is finished, but before it goes in for paint.

Big update.
I now have a skunk.

Currently working on fixing the body mounts.

Be sure to shoot it in the head, that way it won't stink up the place.

Did more stuff to it. Welded on front clip, tightened the body mounts and installed new clutch master cylinder. Got help from my friend with the welding and the body mounts.

New parts installed:
Bosch wires (seem to make 2.9's grow a pair)
Luk clutch master cylinder

Stuff to do next:
Finish installing dash
replace alternator harness plugs
reinstall carpet and interior.
put the headliner and 4wd console back in
install seats with all bolts tightened down.
put in misc electronics
drive it

PS: Looking at a B2 this weekend. Don't know if I am going to buy it. (Why would I buy more things?)

Well, I looked back at my last update. I've done a lot with it since that. Put it all back together, got parts I need to put on and plans for bodywork. But, I got news for the build but I'm not going to share all the details yet. We're just going to say that I got a "new" motor for it that I will pick up soon.

And yes, I will post more updates after this.
