My Build Thread v3.0

oh i get your reasoning. i just hope i have chopped and beaten enough that i dont have to do any more

 

The new rims are sick by the way

 

thanks. i thought they would look good, just didnt think they wold be that good

 

Motor back in and mated to trans with new clutch and flywheel. Still need to put s/c back on and hook fuel lines back up and put suspension back together and I can drive again

 

No

 

It's alive. Ran it first time today. No codes and fired up first time no issue and had full oil pressure

 

Sweet! Looks good as gold. Now for them' tires n' Wheelz

 

once, i get my new wheel hubs and put the front suspension back together and finish clearancing them, i will

 

so i had one of my shifters bent for the tcase to make more room to put your hand on and shift. its the back right shift lever.

so went from this



to this

 

Feels good getting things back together doesn't it?

 

Yes it does. Almost there. Just glad it drives now. Just gotta figure out what's rattling. I'm thinking it's the skid plates in the bed. Still need to put those on, install fuel pump, aal, and shackle flip.

 

This is more than modding. Practically rebuilding the truck.

 

That's why it's version 3 now. Version 1 was bought stock, version 2 was basically everything in between now

 

Oh so I had this happen the other day when I was figuring out what was wrong with my alternator



It's the supercharger tensioner. It seized up and snapped when I was trying to remove the s/c belt

 

That really sucks.

 

Yeah but new one should be here tomorrow

 

Yer pretty good at breakin shit.

 

haha, u have no idea. have had to order shit that i didnt intend to replace. this is one of them. did the wheel bearings too just because they looked like ass when we removed the old ones from the spindles to put the gussets on. they werent needed, but figured they off might as well put new ones on which i did saturday. replaced the coilover bolts at the bottom because the old ones were rusted up pretty bad so ordered new one of thsoe and replaced. of course none of that stuff was broke, but gave me reasons to replace them

also, that tensioner worked fine when i put it back on the truck and had it runnin the first time. dunno wtf did it in the last time when it broke. but that mofo would not budge at all when tryin to relieve tension

 

Good man, might as well replace what you can while you're in there.
