Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

This is something else I've been fighting with is the damn battery. I don't know why I didn't pull it or at least put a trickle charger on it but I didn't and now it's dead. Beyond dead.
Google shows AGM batteries can be revived by running them in a parallel with a charger and another good battery. For some people you have to do this a few times. For me I'm on my 10th+ time with no luck but I think it's the charger i'm using.

 

I like the Tank

 

What BS are those wheels to keep the 37's off the frame?

 

Thanks man!

See below

 

Shit! Didn't realize those were 37s

 

Thanks! Wonder if they come in 16's. Would love to ditch my wheel spacers if I could. Trying to sort through them on 4wp is a nightmare because their sorting feature is garbage.

 

yessur though right now they are wore down to a 35" easily lol

good luck. i need one more for my spare and I can't find anything with that BS. i'm going to have to use spacers on my spare.

 

Yeah I saw they were pretty worn down haha. May be able to see the tank in person, thought you were farther away

 

You'll have to wait until she's all fixed up. Parked it again last night until i get the new stuff ordered... on that list is obviously tires ha.
Thinking about long traveling it until I stop moving enough to SAS it.

 

LT

 

Ha well I don't plan on moving for at least another 2-3 years

 

Do you have some build pics of the tire gate? Thinking of building one.

 

Are they off here? I haven't even looked at everything that's missing. This is why you don't rely on facebook for image hosting. that's the facebook link. i think most of the pics are there but i've changed some stuff since those pics and i'm not sure if i have those elsewhere. They will soon be here though!

 

well guys I was able to download all my images from FB and they are in chronological order.
*cracks fingers* going to be a long night of beer, fixing my instrument panel lights, and getting photos posted!

 

Here's my current list of EVERYTHING i can think of that needs to be fixed, big or small. Obviously this isn't counting additional things I want to add.
About $4k in parts - $8k if I add LT in the front

To buy:
tires
o2 sensor
cv joints
Upper control arms
ball joint(s)
^(new UCA's would cover the above 2)
flange bolt rear axle(i have no idea why i wrote this, i forgot. That's probably a bad thing)
rear seals
front and rear wheel bearings(just because I know they are old)
ribbon cable
Tail lights
battery
Front turn signals(want a new style)

To fix/check
Tail light wiring(it corroded on the harness in the back)
ujoints
interior/dash lights
4wd indication light
Weld caps on sliders and bumpers
Fix front fender(tire grabbed it one trip and ripped it in half. yes, the fender tore)
Repaint LED bar
regrease winch

 

Have you managed to keep the front diff and CVs alive with 37s? Need an update!

 

His last post says he needs cvs so we can assume thats a no.

 

Or assume he's putting a spare together...

 

Its been some time since I read through this thread but I remember he blew out spider gears I dont recall him ever saying he broke a cv. Maybe some boots er sumthin.

 

Nope never broke any CVs. They are on my list to replace because they've been sitting so long with no boots, that's the only reason.

PS hope y'all had a great 4th. Was finally able to get out and wheel a creek a little bit.
