Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

So after 6 months of working on the house after work till midnight and on basically every weekend I'm finally wrapping up.

I've learned basic plumbing, electrical, drywall, carpentry, painting (spraying and rolling / brushing), how to fish ethernet, leveling floors, how to install LVP and all that involves, and basically everything needed to update a house.

I'm very excited to get some normalcy back with my family and life after this giant effort.

 

Happy birthday!!

 

Old free ebay headlights had such bad output I bought used OEMs locally, slapped some fresh bulbs in and am already seeing better at night.

going to try and restore them, but if that doesn’t work I have a pair of depos as well

 

Keeping with the theme of this build of used parts, I wanted OEM housing so I found these used locally for cheap, and spent 15 minutes cleaning them up.

due for inner and outer tie rods so I snagged these. Seems they bought the design from warfab

Hey Joel, I highly suggest selling the Alpine Designs cab mount relocate, and picking up the @drtfabrication one

 

I’ve got a set of the Warfab sleeves I’d send you for free if you pay shipping. I got them when they first came out but never got around to installing them. I’m going longtravel and don’t need them. If you would like them I’ll send them to you just pay for shipping.

 

I have some extra steel I'm going cut and scab on so the mount isn't pulling on the frame directly, plus I've had these mounts and upgraded bushings for 4 or 5 years at this point lol

Appreciate that!

I'll PM you

 

Thank you so much @Cyberman for your time and expertise wrenching on my truck!









While @Cyberman worked on the body mounts, I threw new inner and outer tie rods on with warfab sleeves thanks to @10tacotrooper





Also PSA I learned that Moog tie rods won’t work with the sleeves.



Now I rub on the wheel well! I haven’t been able to turn lock to lock in years!
