OK more updates.. Almost done..

Sunday i got all wheel bearing re packed, and new seals.

I decided to run wheel spacers in the front and not the back to give me a better turn radius so i pulled the rears.

I got the winch line all spooled through my new fairlead..

Both doors are cut and lightened.

All the fenders have had there final trim ,and plastic moldings installed..

Beadlocks are mounted and the truck is on its own weight and at its final ride height..

Rear heimed tie rod is installed, and knuckles have been drilled out..


Then, last night i got the water pump in, the ps finished and bolted up, the new belt sized and fitted.

Power steering lines plumbed. all thats left is the ram mounts ( which will be later once i get an extra box to tap).

Flush and fill the radiator, change the oil, re wire the e locker, fill the front axle housing, install the fan.

Bleed the PS system, remount the tranny cooler, wire the hellas, and that should be about it. for now!....

You really need to dump that kmart camera and get something a little better. My iphone takes better pics than that thing. Otherwise it's looking good. Some nice finishing touches.

OK finally got the tranny cooler relocated, the driveshafts all bolted on, my heimed rear arm in my 3 link spaced upa 1/2 inch higher, and i got my hood pics on.. No shes pretty much ready to go..

All i really have left to do is some wire clean up, shim the PS pump for a little more pressure, and finish welding the sliders, and capping them. the ni need to install my poly skids, and my alluminum sheet for the top.. then i should be prety mcuh finito! YEAH! here are some pics of it outside of my garage....

I like it!

The only thing that looks "iffy" is the space between the rear tire and the end of your slider.

No, thats the right post... Thats what happened to the truggy. He got the Defender in it's place. I believe he sold the truggy.
